to settler-introduced diseases, with many contracting syphilis, bronchitis and cyclical outbreaks of measles. New Norcia In 1845 a Catholic Missionary party led by Rosendo Salvado, a Spanish Benedictine monk, established themselves on the bank of Moore River. Salvado aimed to convert Aboriginal people and equip them with supposedly 'Western' skills like farming without compromising their Indigenous identity. Salvado recruited Yued people from Gin-Gin and Moora, providing them with housing and land to practice farming skills, and hiring some as mission employees. The community developed into the monastic town of New Norcia, a prominent town of the Yued region. By 1847, some Yued people allowed their children to live with the monks. New Norcia Mission began housing and teaching young boys, as Salvado believed the centre could not cater to girls (a sentiment which was overturned in 1861). The mission gave Indigenous children a structured education, responsibilities through chores, and lessons in sport and musical instruments. To raise funds for the mission, Salvado picked 5 Yued children to take to Europe to showcase the successful conversion of "Native" children to the courts of Europe. By 1858, 92 Aboriginal people (including 26 children) from Moora and Gin Gin resided in the New Norcia community. Conflicts later arose within the New Norcia community, with Aboriginal residents resenting the lack of care due to the reduction of government subsidies and changing direction of the mission. In 1911, residents were encouraged to leave the mission, leading to some finding jobs on the outskirts of the Perth metropolitan area and others finding dwellings on the fringes of town. Fringe dwelling Soon, other Yued people joined the residents leaving New Norcia and establishing dwellings in the outskirts of towns such as Moora. The 1905 Aborigines Act contained legislation to reduce interactions between Aboriginal people and settlers, and many Yued people created dwellings in the outskirts of town, called reserves. This led to the creation of Karramarra reserve by the state department in 1916. Other well-known reserves include Moora Reserve, Mogumber reserve and Walebing reserve, which became a permanent basis for Yued people after the break-up of Moora Camp in 1920. Due to the high concentration of these reserves near the district of Moora, it was established as the centre of Yued Region by its Aboriginal community. Last names of Aboriginal people who were pioneers of the Moora District include Jackamarra, Taylor, Spratt, Narrier, Anderson, Headland, Yappo, Warrell,
