Statement of Significance
The Catholic Mission at La Grange is significant in informing of the history of mission settlements and government policies regarding the relocation of Aboriginal people from their traditional Home-lands and the provision of minimal essentials
History
The Catholic Mission at La Grange was established in 1955 as an adjunct to the Pallotine Missions at Beagle Bay and Lombadina. Aboriginal people were moved to La Grange from the surrounding pastoral properties by the police, where they were housed in Nissan huts and provided with the bare essentials of food, clothing and blankets.
