Retrieved 11 May The most famous battle took place in at Windjana Gorge between the Bunuba and 30 police officers, with Ellemarra killed and Jandamarra badly injured. On one of their patrols in the Napier Range Police Constable Richardson and Jandamarra captured a large group of Bunuba , Jandamarra's kinsmen and women. Cultural dispersal and environmental vandalism in the Murray-Darling Basin. Aboriginal people were in awe of Pigeon, a man of magical powers who could "fly like a bird and disappear like a ghost". To avoid retribution, he went to live at Lillimooloora station where he developed a strong friendship with settler Bill Richardson. Two of the men were killed, [1] with their guns and ammunition captured. His close but uneasy friendship with Richardson came to a dramatic end when he shot Richardson, set the group free, stole weapons and then disappeared. Browse People:. More on:. At 15 he returned to his traditional land for initiation and became a skilful hunter. It was the frontier; a time of violence and great upheavals. Back to Derby page. Enter Your First Name optional. Lukin dubbed him " Pigeon " because he was small and ran fast. But he has been an inspiration to us down through the decades, remembered in stories, in dances, in songs traditional and contempory, and now in this play.

    Sprig Of Heather June 2014 Sprig Of Heather Vol 21 No 2 June 2014 The Official Newsletter of Clan Little Society New Zealand & Australia www.littleclan.net Sprig Of Heather June 2014 As I wrote this editorial a call came in on SKYPE from a friend in Auckland. Oh how our world has changed ! We are now more inter connected through diverse technologies than at any time in History. Had our ancestors a fraction of the technologies we have today how would we have evolved? Scotland in early 1800s was a largely agricultural nation. Work was usually manual and cottage-based. A shift in this trend came with the industrial age. The industrialisation of Scotland began in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The adoption of mechanisation led to the building of factories and a move away from cottage industries. Production was linked to the use of machines as well as the establishment of the railway and canal networks, which transported the raw materials from the dockland (notably cotton) and were able to distribute the finished goods. With the arrival of the steam engine, numbers of miners increased in order to produce the coal needed to power the engines. Iron and steel works also became a major employer at the time. In Scotland the hundred years between 1840 and 1940 saw enormous change in the countries economic and social structure. Our ancestors living in 1840 would have been astounded at the scale and pace of change in the century ahead. Since the dawn of civilization, there existed a need to communicate information over distance.

  • Benevolent Colonizers in Nineteenth-Century Australia Quaker Lives and Ideals
    Benevolent Colonizers in Nineteenth-Century Australia Quaker Lives and Ideals Eva Bischoff Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

Sunday, April 3 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 15/16 Season 45 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist and musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene and broken through all the barriers in his own country. In France, where he enjoys a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc – the white Zulu. Over three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums of his brand of crossover music worldwide. He has wowed vast audiences with his audacious live shows and won a number of national and international awards for his music and his outspoken views on apartheid, perspectives on migrant workers in South Africa and the general situation in the world today. Clegg’s history is as bold, colorful and dashing as the rainbow country which he has called home for more than 40 years. Clegg was born in Bacup, near Rochdale, England, in 1953, but was brought up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Between his mother (a cabaret and jazz singer) and his step-father (a crime reporter who took him into the townships at an early age), Clegg was exposed to a broader cultural perspective than that available to his peers.

With no known surviving oral tradition for how and who would make the fish -hooks and use them in this area, the historical and archaeological records become more important. What do we know? Shell fish -hooks were observed and reported on by a number of people from the First Fleet. They mention being made and used by local women. “Considering the quickness with which they are finished, the excellence of the work, if it be inspected, is admirable”, Watkin Tench said on witnessing Barangaroo making one on the north shore. First Fleet painting of fish -hook (T. Watling) The manufacturing process involved the use of a strong shell. So far the only archaeological evidence is from the Turbo species. Pointed stone files were used to create the shape and then file down the edges to the recognisable form. Use -wear analysis on files has confirmed that they were used on shell as well as wood, bone and plant material.
