Résumé anglais Being an Aborigène Today. Migrations, Sedentarizations and Identity Changes in the North-West of Australia White settlement in Australia and various government policies have made contemporary Aboriginal people the way they are. In the North-West of Australia, Aboriginal groups have been forced to settle on cattle stations first, then newly started missions and the consequences of the Pastoral Award have attracted Aboriginal populations from various cattle stations towards urban centres. In order to answer the needs of these migrants, the Federal government has created urban-based Aboriginal settlements, which quickly became the only way for Aborigines to have access to funding, government programs and resources like housing. Through the case example of one of these urban based settlements, the author explores the successive changes Aboriginal people had to deal with and the emergence of community identities in the Kimberleys.
