“There are 11 coded diary entries between 1851 and 1853 that describe shooting and killing people; witnessing others in his employ doing the shooting; going on a “campaign” to kill natives; and later riding over the “battlefield” and seeing the bodies of those he had killed lying dead or “hastily buried”…#Colonialism #FirstNations #FrontierWars #Massacres #Settlers

CW: 1840s artwork Frontier Wars
This morning I found some historical context for "The Avengers". The context is likely 1842 murders at Port Fairy, Victoria. I think this now resolves past confusion over #S_T_Gill's sympathies - which were with the Aboriginal people and not the ambushing colonists. I've just updated the article to reflect this. #frontierWars #1840s

CW: 1840s artwork Frontier Wars
Last week I got to research at #StateLibraryNSW Sydney.
An artwork I "reidentified" is "The Avengers" by #S_T_Gill showing colonists about to fire on a group of #Aboriginal people. I date this to about 1844/1845 - a decade before his previous earliest known of this subject. #frontierWars #1840s #colonialArtAU

Killing for Country
" ‘I can’t argue away the shame’: frontier violence and family history converge in David Marr’s harrowing and important new book"
"A monumental study of the on-the-ground nature of colonisation in New South Wales and Queensland... His forebears’ role in murdering scores of First Peoples during the land grabs that preceded the creation of Australia."
"At the core of this narrative is a simple truism of colonialism: land is the ultimate commodity, the raw material."

Of course, the RSL doesn't think acknowledging the #FrontierWars at the Australian War Memorial is appropriate; it'd spoil the hagiography - https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8216147/more-appropriate-places-awm-council-member-opposes-frontier-wars-rethink/
You know what, I'm fine with that if we build an entirely new place that comprehensively chronicles what white settlers did to Indigenous Australians. We put it in the Parliamentary Triangle so that every busload of tourists and school kids sees and visits it. It should exist and have a clear, prominent, and important place of its own.
In my ideal world, it's an entirely new place that chronicles not only the Frontier Wars but also the arrival of First Nations people to this land, their culture, creativity, art, music, stories, and history from the beginning up to today. And it should be curated by and staffed by First Nations people.
We should have a nationally important place to tell the story of Indigenous Australians.(note, not hashtagging this with FN-related hashtags as they are not mine to use)

ANZAC day? Juliet, Indiana Jones and I paid a visit to the Fawkner Cemetery ceramic tile memorial mural: “In memory of all who served at home and abroad in times of conflict. “
It is an inclusive memorial that avoids nationalism and recognises that conflict affects people whether they serve in the defence forces or not, and could equally apply to the frontier wars.
We paid our respects to those past and present.

"The story of frontier warfare is another powerful – and arguably alternative – foundation story. It tells us Australia was built on invasion, dispossession and violence, and that the nation can only ever approach authenticity and wholeness once it gives a proper recognition to this reality."

@shoq and it isn't just in the #usa it's all over. #Australia's has been going since 1788. The #longest #war in history which we call the #FrontierWars. Still #executed by police and #prison officers with over 500 #DeathsInCustody in 30 years.
Something has to give or what is our worth to #humanity if we can't live side by side and all grow together.
