The Wadjemup Project Progress Report details the historical and contemporary events and issues that underpin the Project, including an overview of the long-term concealment of Aboriginal prison history on the Island, the impacts on Aboriginal people across generations, and the efforts of the people who have contributed to reconciliation and the search for truth, acknowledgement and commemoration of the Aboriginal men and boys who were incarcerated and died on the Island.
The Progress Report is intended to support and inform community consultation on memorialisation of the Wadjemup Aboriginal Burial Ground and the future use of the Quod, while keeping culture at the heart through every stage of the process.
In outlining progress to date, the Progress Report helps to frame the conversation by defining the Whadjuk Noongar Project Protocols and Wadjemup Project Pillars that have been developed to date through the development of the Cultural Authority Framework. The Project Pillars will both inform, and be expanded on, through State-wide consultation.
