Outstation movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Outstation movement refers to the relocation of Indigenous Australians from towns to remote outposts on traditional tribal land.

As described in the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, a range of problems faced Aboriginal people living in towns.

During the 1980s a number of groups moved to small settlements on their traditional lands. Some outpost communities include:

• Kintore, Northern Territory
• Utopia, Northern Territory
