  • Reconstructing the Battle of 'Narawai (Moongalba)
    Reconstructing the Battle of ’Narawai (Moongalba) Ray Kerkhove [email protected] Abstract The Battle of ’Narawai on North Stradbroke Island, and skirmishes that culminated in this event (c. 1827–32) have been sidelined in recent decades, based on the assumption that the event was more likely a massacre, and that sources are too conflicted to build a workable narrative. Here we utilise known and unexamined sources, and the untapped oral tradition and environ- mental knowledge of Stradbroke Island Aboriginal peoples, to reconstruct both the build-up and phases of the confrontation. We find that our primary sources for this incident ultimately derive from Aboriginal informants; together with current Aboriginal perspectives, these allow a more nuanced and Aboriginal- driven narrative than is normally possible for a frontier wars skirmish. It is argued that the Battle of ’Narawai was not a one-sided massacre but rather a well- planned operation by Aboriginal combatants, orchestrated to provide tactical advantages. We contend that the battle merged tactics of traditional pullen- pullen (inter-tribal tournaments) with strategies more suited to the demands of the frontier wars, and that it was perceived as a victory by Aboriginal Stradbroke Islanders. Introduction Twenty years ago, Chilla Bullbeck called for the violent incidents within Australia’s frontier wars to be better memorialized.1 More recently, Raynald Lemelin has urged historians to develop Indigenous-based narratives concerning these events, to atone for the relative absence of this perspective.2 Subsequently, there have been cooper- ative studies with Aboriginal families, aimed at providing more nuanced detail. A good example is Heather Burke’s spatial reconstruction of the Rufus River incidents (1841).

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signed: QUT Verified Signature Dated: 3 Abstract Island culture, the environment and politics of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia) set the context for the ecological arts Festivals that are the foundation of this research study. Lines in the Sand North Strad- broke Island (LITSNSI) collective delivered four Festivals 2011-2014 in re- sponse to an ecology of great change for Minjerribah. The curatorial rational was to invite artists to work in residence and respond to the shifting lines in the sand of Native Title determinations, announcements concerning national parks, camp grounds and an end to sand mining on the Island, and to work in collabo- ration with environmentalists, scientists and community people. LITSNSI con- tributed to a rich structure of ideas and ensuing artful actions, and led to the inaugural Quandamooka Festival in 2015, a celebration of Aboriginal culture, Country and community, delivered by the new Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC).
