More DescriptionUncle Mervyn Abraham was born 109 years after the life of Noongars (the Aboriginal people of south-west Western Australia) was changed forever by the coming of white people. Mervyn'sstories about life at Koompkinning on the Hotham River give a glimpse of what life was like for many Noongars during the twentieth century. Wheatbelt NRM respectfully thanks Uncle Merv for sharing katadjin (knowledge) and photos in this storybook. We also thank Gary Bennell and Alice Collard for their contributions. Noongar katadjin belongs to and remains the intellectual property of the Noongar communities who shared it. Noongar language is used in this book. There are many different Noongar language groups and it was an oral language (not traditionally written down), so different words and spellings exist. This storybook is one of a series that aims to inspire you to learn more about our unique boodjar (country) and Noongar culture, and help deepen respect, love and care for our kwobidak (beautiful) country.
