Aunty Muriel Bowie

Unlike a lot of Noongars living under the Native Welfare act, Aunty Muriel had a carefree childhood. She grew up on the outskirts of York with her parents and brothers and sisters. Her mum and dad kept safe from the police and welfare, by living in the bush, under the radar. It was only later in life, Aunty Muriel would realise just how lucky she was to have that childhood. This is her story.
