Dividing Line Placed Between Ocean Man and Pheasant Rump Reserves

Summary

A dividing line was placed between the adjacent reserves of Ocean Man and Red Pheasant.

Implications
Divisions of specific reserves for neighbouring groups of people creates imaginary borders, reducing mobility of Indigenous people in these groups. This was part of the government's goal of controlling and monitoring the movement of Indigenous people, which enabled them to prevent political organization and consciousness-raising amongst said groups.
