The Eyre Peninsula was the scene of one of the final episodes of violence between British Army and First Nations peoples in 1842, and it's hoped a new exhibition about the region's history will help advance local truth-telling.
In the seaside city of Port Lincoln , the bustling marina and prosperous agricultural port are a tribute to the success of the seafood industry and early pastoralism in one of the most arid areas of the country.Details of the conflicts are set to be highlighted in a new exhibition in Port Lincoln .
Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation chair Jayden Richards said he welcomed the call for more truth-telling about his community's encounters with British colonists."It is local history, and I think everyone deserves to know what times were like back then."Mr Clayton said his own family's involvement in violence against Aboriginal people, after their arrival in Australia as convicts in the 1790s, was a source of shame to this day.
They were immediately met with resistance by the Barngarla people and livestock was stolen, fences burnt and flour and waterholes poisoned as the two worlds clashed.Indigenous resistance fighters waged economic war and turned the weapons of their oppressors against them, according to a new book based on "hundreds and hundreds" of historical accounts."In the very early days, men and women and children were actually removed from the region of Port Lincoln itself.
