Young men and boys in studio, Cardwell, 1890s

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Girramay was an Australian Aboriginal tribe of northern Queensland. The Girramay people's traditional lands extended over some 1000mi2 south from Rockingham Bay to Cardwell. Northwards, their boundaries reached close to the upper Murray River and the Cardwell Range, and also took in inland areas of the Herbert River. The Girramay spoke the most southerly dialect of Dyirbal. The Girramay lived in a mixture of rainforest and open forest environments. Source: everything.explained.today/Girramay/
  • Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
    The Girramay People are now recognised native title holders of around 475 ha in north Queensland as a key part of a broad agreement package with the Queensland Government and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council (2009). nativetitle.org.au/find/pbc/4739 www.nntt.gov.au/News-and-Publications/latest-news/Pages/G...

Studio portrait of family at Sandgate, 1896.

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Aboriginal peoples are custodians of the world’s oldest cultures. The history of Aboriginal peoples prior to British colonisation was of clan or family groups with their own languages, culture and beliefs, living on, and managing their traditional lands and waters. For Queensland Aboriginal peoples, as with the other states, the colonial period brought dispossession of the land that was central to life and spiritual beliefs, as well as the destruction of the traditional way of life. Introduced diseases (previously unknown) had devastating effects on health. Removal of children from their families caused harm down the generations, and the legacy of the colonial period has been dispossession, inequality, racism, and injustice for Aboriginal peoples.

    mvskoke_creek Thank you for the comment, mvskoke_creek! I'll try to retrieve a positive ID for the group featured in this image from the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. In the meantime, I just looked up the Stoney Creek Singers, here's a video of that group performing live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BIPhjjxnfU. Sincerely, Susannah Smithsonian Institution Archives
