18.2' The Aboriginal ’Worlds’ Of Pt; AugUSta and Adelaide -
membership

The picture painted by the National Population Inquiry for
Aborigines in general, and by Gale, with particular reference to
■

Adelaide, shows Aborigines who are contexted into the white world
№

living in situations of great deprivation and disadvantage.

The problem with such generalized assessments is that, by
their nature, they cannot take account of the differences that
exist within Aboriginal worlds. 4                      .

The ’world’ of Aboriginal people in Adelaide was mapped in
detail in a 1980 study.
P

Gale and Wundersitz surveyed two city areas, namely the local
government area of Pt. Adelaide, in which the students attending
Taperoo High School are housed, and the satellite city of
Elizabeth/Salisbury, the area in which the students at Salisbury
North High School are located. Gale and Wundersitz' findings therefore
apply to the city population with which this present study is
concerned.

Gale and Wundersitz found that the migration flow of Aborigines
to the city had decreased since a study carried out by Gale in 1966;
relatively fewer Aboriginal people had moved to the city during
the seventies.

The migration of Aborigines to the city had stabilised; an
increasing proportion of Aborigines in the study were born in the city.
Forty-nine per cent of 387 respondents from the Pt. Adelaide area
gave Adelaide as their place of birth; 47.6 per cent of 424
respondents from the Salisbury area gave Adelaide as their place of
birth (Gale and Wundersitz, 1982:52). These people may be seen as
an accuIturated group.

Nevertheless, even those born in Adelaide located themselves
within a 'mission' identity: they were Point Pearce people or
Point McLeay people (ibid:llθ).
