Fringe dwellers

"Fringe Dwellers" is a name given to groups of Aboriginal Australians who camp on the outskirts of Australian towns and cities, from which they have become excluded, generally through law or land alienation.^{[citation needed]}

Although the term "fringe dwellers" was originally considered derogatory, many more radical groups now use it as a term of pride.^{[citation needed]}
