Bathurst Massacre of 1824 – Maria Kazantseva Introduction Upon review of all the evidence concerning the Bathurst massacre, it can be concluded that the European settlers are indeed the ones culpable for this ongoing strife with the Aboriginal people. Body The Bathurst massacre of 1824 stands as a grievous chapter in Australian history, with the outcome being the ruthless slaughter of many. The European settlers have been deemed responsible for this massacre due to the fact that the police and army, sent to 'deal' with the conflict betwixt the Natives and the Europeans, instead chose to exterminate them and be untruthful about it. Refer to the timeline on page 1 of the worksheet. Letter from Soldier William Lawson (10th July, 1824) The contents …show more content…

Lawson, Mr. Rankin, and Mr. Walker gathered from the 40th regiment and set off towards the town of Mudjee. This source is not trustworthy as this report was published in a newspaper, presenting only what the readers would like. The quote ".to prevent further violence from the aboriginal people" explains that it was not disclosed to the readers what the Europeans were truly planning to do to "prevent further violence," thus not revealing the full truth. Written Account of What Happened at Bathurst (18th September, 1824) William H. Sutter explains what truly transpired at Bathurst. The Aboriginal people were shot "without respect." He states that food was used to lure them in, and then the Europeans would shoot them down when they approached. He also mentioned that what happened was completely different from what was told to the public. This source is trustworthy as Sutter had a good relationship with the Wiradjuri people. The quote "When martial law had run its course, extermination is the word that most aptly describes the result" highlights that Sutter understood the reality of the situation and regarded the natives as equals. Proclamation of End of Martial Law (12th November, 1824)

As the settlement in Australia continued to grow, the numbers of Indigenous Australians drastically reduced. This occurred because they had never been exposed to such diseases before and their immune systems were too weak to fight the harsh sicknesses. Because of this, a ridiculous number of deaths arose. (Moore, 2008.) The remaining people were devastated by the huge numbers of deaths in their communities.

When the school officially opened in the fall of 1861, teacher George A. Davy had 70 pupils in attendance.

At 8am the party had rejoined the Murray River where the river was 30 metres wide, between steep red loam banks, continuing northwards to cross the Oakley brook at approximately 8.35am. The weather broke and it started to rain heavily as Captain Ellis, Mr Norcott and three of the police attacked from the south. The Aboriginal men gathered up their woomeras and spears, as the women and children fled towards the river, where Captain Stirling, Captain Meares, Thomas Peel and 12 others were waiting in hiding. Ellis was soon in a melee fight with the Noongars, and Norcott, recognizing a troublemaker called Noonaar. In the first charge of attacks five or more Aboriginal people were killed, and the remainder of the Aboriginal people turned and ran towards the river, hoping to cross and scatter into the hills.

However, this would only work if the aboriginals had the same culture and norms as Britain, but they did not. Then later in November 1826, Arthur set legal conditions where aboriginals were only to be killed if they attacked you or were on your property. So the violence between the aboriginals and the settlers became worse. Over the summer of 1826 to 1827, aboriginal clans speared several stock keepers on farms since and made it clear that they wanted them off their kangaroo hunting grounds. The settlers responded rashly which resulted in mass deaths of the aboriginals; this continued for several

Introduction: Before 1967 (50 years ago), Aboriginals weren’t treated as they should be. Aboriginals were considered Animals or plants under the Flora and Fauna act. Some 50,000 years ago Aboriginals found Australia and the land is therefore rightfully theirs. But as soon as Europeans arrived in Australia (or New Holland as it was called when the Europeans named it) Aboriginals were slaughtered and killed if they went anywhere near their belongings.

By the 1800’s, the majority of the Aboriginal population joined urban societies in which they were exposed to new diseases they had no immunity towards. This caused the Aboriginal population to shrink in size. In addition to that, Great Britain began using Australia as a penal colony, where they sent convicts to complete their sentence aboard, freeing space in the local jail of Britain. Ever since the British arrived, they began stealing Aboriginal land and destroying it. However, in 1992 the government claimed the Aboriginal land empty before the British’s arrival and could be legally taken over.

Abstract Being an aborigine in a white dominated society is a complicated identity. Australia, one of the white governed nations, also owns many aboriginal tribes. They lived harmonious lives in the early period. But European colonization has made a profound effect on the lives of Aboriginals in Australia, which led to the total demolition of their native culture, identity and history. As a result the new generation Aboriginals have lost their Aboriginal heritage and have been accepted neither by Aboriginals nor by whites.

A large majority of Australians have been presented with a version of Australian history that has minimised and ignored important events regarding Aboriginal people that include many violent and painful deaths that until recently have been hidden quietly. History is extremely important in forming cultural identity which in turn leads to an increased sense of security and belonging. Therefore a need for shared history is required in Australia for recognising the history of both Aboriginal and non-aboriginal people (Gore, 2008). When studying the history of Australia it is important to recognise that it is a shared history. The shared history of Australia acknowledges that the history of Australia began long before the British started to

Saying Australia used genocide to justify their racial policies would be an overstatement. The crimes against the Aboriginal people don’t consist as genocide. Although the crimes against the race were abysmal and they did not fit into some of the stages and the definition of genocide. They were never the targets for mass killings or extermination compared to the Jews. Nazi Germany did use extreme measures of genocide to justify their racial
