Welcome to Mer Island

By Trish Albert

Meet Joey, a Meriam person from remote Mer Island in the Torres Strait. Learn about Joey’s cultural identity and efforts to keep his history alive. What traditions are important to Meriam people and how do they express their connections to their place? Discover why a High Court ruling in 1992 attracted national attention to Mer Island and made Joey’s homeland famous.

This series explores the histories, culture and identities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through different models of storytelling, the reader will discover the experiences of people from the past and present and also how indigenous Australians have fought for rights and why they have a unique place in our society.
