The Repatriation of the Aborigines
Abstract
Then the white man came among us, we were hunted from our ground, shot, poisoned, and had our daughters, sisters, and wives taken from us … They stole our ground where we used to get food, and when we got hungry and took a bit of flour or killed a bullock to eat, they shot us or poisoned us. All they give us now for our land is a blanket once a year. (Dalaipi quoted by Petrie, 1932 (1904): 182–3)
