pickMarr meticulously researched early settler accounts of Australia‘s invasion, with a focus on the Native Police. He tells the story of his own ancestors, & if their behaviour is representative, it was a blood bath. It almost became monotonous, reading injustice after injustice. Attitudes, events & circumstances conspired to insure the decimation of Aboriginal people. There were people who stood up for what was right, but not nearly enough 😔.
LeeRHarry This sounds like a really tough read. Hope you‘re coping with the heat over there ok. 🤞 11mo
MrsMalaprop @LeeRHarry It was tough, but very good and I‘m glad I read it. It reinforced for me that people don‘t change that much. There will always be people who have open minds and empathy and there will always be those who don‘t. 11mo
