from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    In 1871 on 1 July representatives from the London Missionary Society arrived on Erub Island (Darnley Island) accompanied by South Sea Islander evangelists and teachers. Clan Elder and Warrior, Dabad greeted them on their arrival. Ready to defend his land and people Dabad walked to the water’s edge when the Rev Samuel McFarlane dropped to his knees and presented The Bible to Dabad. Dabad accepted the gift, interpreted as the ‘Light’, introducing Christianity to the Torres Strait Islands. The people of the Torres Strait Islands adopted the Christian rituals and ceremonies and continued to uphold their connection to the land, sea and sky, practicing their traditional customs, and cultural identity referred to as ‘Ailan Kastom.’ Each year on 1 July, ‘The Coming of the Light’ or ‘Keriba Lagaw Buiya’ in traditional language is a day of celebration, performance, oral tradition and reverence.

Women with children at Barambah Aboriginal Settlement 1911

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    "1913 — The Dormitory system is expanded to include Mothers and their children. A policy of rescuing young women and children is introduced. It is not enough to remove them to a settlement for better care and protection, they have to be placed in a controlled environment. The dormitory system, which continued until the 1980s is a strict form of segregation and discipline."
