Only corroborees that were recorded can be represented, such that these are often those witnessed by and/or performed for colonists and other audiences. Their distribution therefor reflects colonial presence rather than the distribution of corroborees.
Annual distribution of blankets. 50 blankets were available after a grand corroboree was held at Canning with natives living in and about Wanneroo, the Canning and Perth.
