Honouring Indigenous people who lived and died at Wybalenna on Flinders Island
Manage episode 439540359 series 5439
In 1831 British colonists offered the Tasmanian Aboriginal people protection and freedom if they agreed to temporarily go to a place they called Wybalenna on Flinders Island in Bass Strait. That promise was never kept and most perished, lying today in unmarked graves. Now a project is underway to tell the stories of the people who strived to maintain their culture in that isolated place. It’s a crucial part of a truth-telling process that Aboriginal people hope will culminate in a treaty, nearly two hundred years later.
Guests:
Rebecca Digney, Manager, Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania
Greg Lehman, Professorial Fellow, Indigenous Research and UNESCO Chair on Communication, Environment and Heritage at the University of Tasmania.
