Terrible stories of atrocities included in an updated map and archive of Australia’s massacres, which new research reveals continued into the 1920s.

the myth that the Aboriginal people just melted away of their own volition is still tacitly accepted in Australia because the alternative is too awkward.

The university of Newcastle did a great job on their map of massacres and the Guardian put together a rather more slick looking version of it too.

The fact that this doesn’t get addressed in highschool history at all, and rarely at even at uni, is exceedingly shitty

the awkward thing about the Australian Genocide is that it took place so recently, within living memory.
