Everything about Meriam People totally explained
Mer (
Murray Island), in the eastern group of
Torres Strait Islands off the northern tip of
Australia, is home to the
Meriam people.
The Meriam people are perhaps best known for their involvement in the
High Court of Australia's
Mabo decision which fundamentally changed land law in
Australia - recognising
Aboriginal traditional ownership.
Although
gardening takes priority, each Meriam family has sea rights, and on the
reefs in front of their houses, which are mainly built above the beach, they maintain stone
fish-weirs and
crayfish holes. Skilled seafarers, the Meriam also retain fishing rights over reefs extending 60 km north and south of the islands.
