Project Outline
This is not intended to be a definitive account of the Fitzroy Aboriginal community. As the title suggests 'Snapshots of Aboriginal Fitzroy' is meant to be the beginning of a longer process of collecting and preserving memories of the Aboriginal connection to the areas in and around Fitzroy. It is hoped that the Snapshots will serve to stimulate discussion and lead to more stories being told and collected.
The project is seen as an opportunity to reflect on the past and to preserve the stories of Elders while they are still with us. As much as possible we tried to interview a wide range of community members. For various reasons some people chose not to be involved, but the project has attempted to collect a range of perspectives from different generations of the experience of living in Fitzroy.
Where there are errors in the text or in the acknowledgment of people in photos, we apologise in advance and hope that people will let us know, so amendments can be made. If there is additional information on topics, or material that has been omitted, we would like to hear from the community. A project like Snapshots of Aboriginal Fitzroy can only be a success if the community feels that it is relevant. We hope that you think it is.
