EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a group of Aboriginal children at a mission school in Mitchell River, north-west Australia in 1914. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of these young indigenous Australians during a time when their culture and way of life were being drastically altered by colonization. The solemn expressions on the faces of the children hint at the challenges they faced as they navigated between their traditional heritage and the expectations imposed upon them by European settlers. Despite being taken over a century ago, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that colonialism had on Australia's Aboriginal population. Mary Evans has expertly captured not just the physical appearance of these children, but also their resilience and strength in the face of adversity. Through her lens, we are able to connect with these individuals on a deeper level and gain insight into their experiences within the mission school system. As we reflect on this image, it is important to acknowledge and honor the rich cultural heritage of Australia's indigenous peoples. This print serves as a testament to their enduring spirit and serves as a call to action for us all to work towards reconciliation and understanding between different cultures.
