Yued
Yued (also spelt Juat, Yuat and Juet) is a region inhabited by the Yued people, one of the fourteen groups of Noongar Aboriginal Australians who have lived in the South West corner of Western Australia for approximately 40,000 years.
European settlers first visited the Yued region in the 17th century, but it was not colonised until George Fletcher Moore’s visit in 1836. In 1846 Spanish Benedictine Monk, Rosendo Salvado created a Catholic missionary institution housing some Yued people, which became New Norcia, the only monastic town in Australia. Later impacts of European colonisation include the introduction of governmental assimilation policies such as the Aborigines Act 1905 which prompted the creation of settlement and internment camps like the Moore River Settlement, contributing to diseases within the Yued population as well as their displacement from the region.[page needed]
There are ongoing projects to preserve Yued culture including the establishment of native titles, heritage plans and active cultural community programmes.
At the time of European settlement, the Yued language was one of the 13 dialects of the Noongar language.[citation needed] The Yued language specifically belongs to Djiralay (northern dialect), one of the three main dialect groups within the wider Noongar region. The other two are Kongal-Boyal (south-eastern dialect) and Kongal-Marawar (south-western dialect).
After colonisation, the number of fluent Yued speakers fell due to cultural assimilation policies which prevented Aboriginal people from practising their native language. As a result, contemporary Yued people speak a dialect of the English language known as Aboriginal English.
There is a lack of concrete evidence to support that the endonym for this region was Yued and some sources suggests that it is rather a name used by non-Yued people to refer to the region. There is evidence that in the 19th century some Aboriginal people living in New Norcia referred to themselves as "Jun-ar", as recorded in the memoir of Rosendo Salvado.
One exonym used by the Yued's northern neighbours for their territory was "Minnalyungar" (meaning 'southern people'). The Whadjuk term for thedm was "Jaburu-Jungara" (Jaburu signifying "north"). In modern times, Yued is now the standard self-descriptive term used by local people in the area.
According to Norman Tindale, Yued/Juat country covered roughly 16,900 sq. km. and extended over Gingin, Moora, New Norcia, the Moore River and Cape Leschenault. Towards the north, their lands reached up to the area around Hill River. The inland extension ran to near Miling and the Victoria Plains.
