Former Point Pearce Aboriginal Mission |
| Registered Name |
Point Pearce Mission - Former |
| Significance |
The Point Pearce Aboriginal Reserve is important because it forms an integral part of a system of missions established by Church, Government and private organizations during the displacement of Aborigines from their tribal lands. Established in 1867, it provided a type of refuge for members of the Narrunga tribe affected by the pastoralism, mining and farming activities on Yorke Peninsula. Remnants of other tribes also lived at the Mission, which sought to instruct members in European customs, livelihood and religion (Yorke Peninsula Heritage Survey, 1997). |
