Abstract:

A history, originally titled "Applicants Historical Report", commissioned by SWALSC to present as evidence at the Single Noongar Native Title Claim over metropolitan Perth and South-West WA. The single Noongar Claim hinged on the proof that the Noongar

were a single unified people and not a number of unrelated groups as claimed by the state of Western Australia.
