Rottnest Island ceremony remembers Indigenous deaths in custody

Published 10 June 2024, 5:40 am
It has been 185 years since Wadjemup, also known as Rottnest Island in Western Australia, was established as an Aboriginal prison. Traditional owners have gathered to hold a remembrance ceremony, and to urge the state government to better protect the burial sites and sacred land. And a warning to Indigenous viewers that this story contains images of people who have died.
