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.
Although the term "fringe dwellers" was originally considered derogatory, many more radical groups now use it as a term of pride.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
