This disadvantage is compounded by paternalistic practices which do not promote Aboriginal self-determination or empowerment. This article presents the lived experience and voice of Aboriginal Australians spending time in parks in Perth, Western Australia. A community-based participatory action research approach informed by critical Indigenous methodologies involving collaboration between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal service providers was used. Participants experienced disconnection from kin and country, serious risk to personal safety, homelessness, and problematic health; all related to, and intersecting with, time spent in the parks. The participants\u2019 narratives highlight the enduring impacts of colonization, dispossession, and racism. These lived experiences are situated within contexts of rising moral panic from politicians, residents and mass media, and siloed policy and service delivery responses.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732318797616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,10]],"date-time":"2018-09-10T04:58:56Z","timestamp":1536555536000},"page":"159-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["\u201cWe Don\u2019t Want to Live Like This\u201d: The Lived Experience of Dislocation, Poor Health, and Homelessness for Western Australian Aboriginal People"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2737-9498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robyn","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheryl","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"360 Health + Community, Guildford, Western Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Crow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Patrick\u2019s Community Support Centre, Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Desmond","family":"Headland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aboriginal Alcohol and Drug Service, Perth, Western Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ngaanyatjarra Health Service, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Zammit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1049732318797616","unstructured":"Australian Bureau of Statistics.
