Children at play Mapoon ca. 1910

Details

Description: This photograph shows approximately 40 Aboriginal people, mostly children, standing and playing in front of buildings (possibly dormitories) at Mapoon Mission Station. Several of the children are climbing on the frame of a swingset. The buildings appear to be built on or near the beach, and are all raised on stilts.

 

This photograph was originally published in the Annual Report of the Chief Protector of Aborigines for the year 1910.
