Housing is seen as an important idential. Allied to the                  ■

notion of ^,shame’ connected with origins is the possibility of                !

shame connected with housing, often mentioned in Aboriginal                   ∖

writings (Gilbert, 6—7; Dixon 33-34,. 37-38; Marshall, 52-53;                  ;

Perkins, 122; in Tatz, ed., 1975).                                                     ∣

Statements 48 and 53 relate to this area.

25.11 (i) Hypothesis

It was hypothesized that given
