Michael Hannah

I share my story to help my family and others understand what I went through, with the hope that it will never happen again to our people. Also I hope that my family and others will be empowered by my testimony because there are opportunities for our people today that did not exist when I was young.

Carrolup Native Settlement near Katanning, Western Australia on the great southern line. In 1949, I was removed to Roelands Native Mission. In 1960, I was sent out to work. It was the policy of the day when you turned 16 years of age.
