Who Is Our Mob?
Kuku Yalanji
Malla which means hand is a descendant of the Kukuyalanji clan of Far North Queensland: his given name European name, was Bob Oliver.
Malla was stolen by the State Police and taken from his family in the Daintree reserve when he was just 10 years of age. During this time Australia wide, half-cast Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and placed on missions around Australia. – This was the Stolen Generation.
Malla was placed in a dormitory at a Far North Queensland mission (Yarrabah) and this is where he grew-up. He later married Janie Maytown in Yarrabah and eventually gained his freedom by requesting documental permission from the State government to work and raise his family as a free man. Today many Aboriginal people are still searching for their family connections.
