| Layer Id | 258 | Name | WA Journey Ways - Aboriginal Camps Around WA |
| Description | Before, and for some time after the 1967 referendum Aboriginal people were subjected to law and social policy that controlled every aspect of their lives. They were excluded from all the supports (hospitals and public housing) and payments (wages, pensions, dole, child benefit) given to non-Aboriginal people. They were subjected to curfews and condemned to absolute poverty. Many lived in ancient camping grounds or reserved lands until they were cleared out. | Subject Keywords | indigenous, aboriginal, history, noongar, camps |
