During some stage in their lives many Torres Strait Islanders, especially women will migrate to Australia in order to further their education, employment and training (Warrior, 1997). This paper focuses on a recent that I carried out among Torres Strait Islander women living on the mainland. The purpose of the survey is to indicate how Torres Strait Islander women are maintaining their identity whilst living on the mainland. To show these results, first the Torres Strait Islanders will be discussed generally to give an overview of their identity, then briefly Torres Strait Islanders on the mainland will be discussed. The paper will then conclude which the results from the survey conducted.
