- What Happened to All the Aboriginals in Tasmania?
Dive deep into the rich and complex history of Aboriginal Tasmanians in this video, exploring the fascinating and often tragic story of the Tasmanian Aboriginal culture and its people. We uncover the history of Indigenous Tasmanians from their traditional lifestyle and social organization to their interactions with European settlers, including the devastating period known as the Black War of Tasmania. Learn about the different Aboriginal nations of Tasmania, such as the Palawa people, and their enduring cultural legacy.
We'll explore the impact of colonization on the Tasmanian Aboriginal tribes and the critical role of figures like George Augustus Robinson, and the efforts to save the remaining population at places like the Wybalenna settlement and the Oyster Cove Aboriginal station. Hear the story of Truganini, the last full-blooded Tasmanian Aboriginal, and the resistance and resilience of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
From their decline due to European diseases, conflict, and the fight for their rights, to the preservation of their Aboriginal Tasmanian heritage, this video provides an in-depth look at the struggles and survival of these remarkable people. Join us as we unravel the untold stories of Tasmanian Aboriginal resistance, explore the unique Tasmanian Aboriginal language groups, and examine the lasting impact of these histories on today's Aboriginal communities. Don't miss this insightful journey into the rich history of the Aboriginal Tasmanians and their enduring legacy.

Okay tell me what happened?
Fake history and lies by Englishman 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the tip off!
@@spikey8085 you are wrong. It belies the inferiority of the white man and the reality of superiority of the tasmanian natives. I would greatly admire them.
If the white man was inferior why is it they wiped out the natives?@@caracortage3270
The truth is that many were killed by British troops and settlers. The remainder were rounded up and taken to the Bass Strait Islands, some became virtual slaves on whaling ships. Many died from disease acquired from the British settlers, to which they had no immunity. The last full blood Tasmanian Aborigine died in 1876.
ABORIGINAL PEOPLE ABORIGINAL LAND ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL. BE
That is very good to know, and I appreciate your having taken the time to share it, despite the depressing nature of the facts. This is why I try to read the comment section. Thank you
There is one very well documented but not publicised massacre by shore whalers. That this video fail to cover about a tribe that nearly got genocide all over a misunderstanding about a beach whale that had come lose from it moorings. The whalers wanted it back so they could of course process and sell the blubber. The natives wanted the meat and would always utilise beaches whales for the meat because it was beached they believe it was their’s and wouldn’t give it up. A spear was thrown but never hit anyone and the whalers open fire. It was either two or three survived. A few of the whalers actually got hanged for it, the town and whaling station was intentionally destroyed. These just a memorial to the tribe there now next to the beach. It’s illegal to dig or even put a shovel in the ground there as the whole place is a grave site now. It’s pretty sad cause the whalers and natives had no problems with each other up to that point even though they live very very close to each other. This tribe still exists today and is recognised by the government because they have proven their ancestry by genetic testing. It’s a very very small tribe cause of a obvious reason.
It was a genocide
It was a genocide
Tasmania was used as a case study to establish the concept of "genocide"
The Europeans proclaimed bounties on both the Tasmanian Aboriginals and Tasmanian Tiger, deeming both "obstacles to civilization", so both wete hunted and payments received for their remains.
There was also extensive grave robbings and a trade in body parts of both humans and tigers by Europeans with body parts being shipped to various European countries.
That is 100% concoction. Like this video, it ignores the copiously-written history of the times. First, they were not Aborigines but negritos, some of whom survived the genocide on the mainland and found refuge in north Queensland's Atherton Rain Forest. A group of US anthropologists visited them and did thorough measuring and photographing of this pygmy race. There is none, or very little negritto DNA to be found among mainland Aborigines showing they never intermarried or they killed them off. In Tasmania, the so-called "black line" was entirely confined to the Port Arthur peninsula, settlement being barely started in the 1830s. And it was not the Tasmanian negritos they killed but two rogue Aborigines from the Sydney region, plus a settler- adopted youth, and the three went on a killing spree, sloughtering 93 people, including women and babies. Right across Australia, there are tens of thousands of people who claim to be Abgoriginal, most of whom are not. In the near future, mandatory DNA tests will sort out the frauds from the genuine descendants but this will make little difference because the current lucrative government funding will cease... my guess is in about seven months. Greed and pathological dishonesty brings its own reward.
Are these videos all done by AI now? There's something off about them.

Proud to be Aboriginal Australian, us descendants will never forget. One Love to the Palawa, your mainland family stand with you. Lest we forget
imagine a world today in which we had learned and shared culture from/with the Australian Aboriginal folks from the early meetings rather than what actually happened.
'long term sustainability', i imagine, would be the very least of the many benefits we'd all still be enjoying today and far into our future..
None of that is true. They didn’t leave cherries for the birds. They were just too lazy to collect them all or couldn’t physically. This is entirely AI generated and there are very little facts in this video
@@staywoke2198point was valid and yours is not. Aboriginals had a superior sustainable culture than the British. Whites could of learnt and adopted a more advanced culture but they chose genocide instead
This is AI generated. The visuals are ridiculous. Why are the migrating ancient people white? Take the info with a grain of salt.
Proud to be Tasmanian and a descendant of the colonialists.
What Happened to All the Aboriginals in Tasmania? : They were wiped out?...
Yeah they were sadly.
No, but nearly all of their culture and language is gone, it was taught for many years that they were wiped out but a few survived by mixing with sealers and whalers.
Sadly, the Tasmanian indigenous people who didn't die from either war or disease were sent to "Finders Island" off the north east coast unless they were white enough to "Assimilate".
theres a few of us, but you couldnt really tell if us from the caucasaisan folks for the most part. there are some who you can see our blood in, but mostly not.
@@DarthFetidkinda like Canadian metis if the natives were wiped out
Respect for the native aboriginal … The didgeridoo is is the best sound in the outback … keeps all the nasties away and the boomerang a piece of engineering genius…
Did not keep the British away....
@ 😂
A lot of the pictures in this docco do not look aboriginal. They instead look like native Americans. Are you trying to confuse people
Aborigines have straight, wavy, and curly hair. Not afro textured. They're not actually black.
@@WhiteJadeTiger98 aboriginals are black they just have straight hair
@WhiteJadeTiger98 well they are "black" they're just not of any direct African descent not any more African than a Korean or an English.
Some austronesians do have more tight curly hair but you're correct there is a lot of diversity. But for example new guineans look a lot more like African features although quite distinct.
There are many "black" skinned peoples on earth
It’s all AI generated.
I'm a Yank. I lived in Australia for a year (1973). I visited Tasmania several times. On one of those occasions, I stayed overnight with a couple who claimed to be Tasmanian Aboriginals. They looked more white than Aboriginal. So I think they must have been mostly white.
I'd say that they were simply white people trying to convince someone from overseas that they were more exotic and unique than they actually were
Blood is blood in Tasmania.
Cause there's no full cast left, and hardly any half cast ....anybody that can prove blood in their timeline is classed as aboriginal. Lot of white aboriginal. In whole Tasmania
You're a yank and that's why you're still using the metric of a blood quantum. There's your problem. You don't get it at all.
they likely get benefits
there was a literal policy where indigenous children were removed from families and raised as whitefellas. gin hunting was also a very common activity by sealers and whalers. what do you reckon boatloads of men did when they found pretty indigenous women??? that's right, they raped them. FYI, you should've learnt during your time here that blood quantum isn't a practice down under. if your mob knows you and accepts you, you're mob.
Found this really interesting. How shameful what we Europeans did to these Aboriginal people in the past.
Tasmanian Aboriginal people are resilient and proud people. Their identity is based on descendance, self identification and acceptance by their community. They are still around and many are very brown and some lighter skinned. What do you expect when populations are inter mixed with Europeans. Add milk to black coffee and it's still coffee. What matters most is it's sweetness and those people are nice people. So, keep your ethnocentric rubbish based on ignorance. No one on the planet is caught in a time warp.
Best comment on here!
The ignorance of most of these 'comments' in astonishing.
This is a marvelous video, but I am very curious about the music you used. It is, you see, an extremely well-known Jewish synagogue melody called “Hineh Ma Tov”: - the words to this tune (that with instrumental) are Hebrew and from the Bible, and they say “Look how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together as one”: which makes it really ironic, if you ask me, when it comes to using these words about a colonized and slaughtered people!
Can you please explain how and why you chose this particular tune? I don’t think the Tasmanians were Jewish, after all. I really want to know, because I am Jewish and … well … hearing this tune, in THIS context, is … disconcertingly unexpected, to say the least.
Scratching my head …
Anyway they will tell you lies they don't know what the TRUTH IS they don't care and no shame whatsoever
lol
I was thinking that but thought it was maybe a similar sounding tune. I heard a few bars and straight off I thought, "Hineh".
I contest your claim of Jewishness. I say that You deceive yourself. The thumbnail pic is not the face of any Glatshteyn alive dead or that ever posed for a picture. it's a thoroughly Hibernian looking set of features. You have the upper lip for certain 100% of a Hebridean, eyes of a Gael. You couldn't look less Jewish. Your face is totally far west north west European. Nothing Eastern European about your features at all. Zilch, nada, nowt at all. No doubt some of your very own ancestors were colonialists, absolutely no doubt about that at all.
🤔
Fascinating cultures with unique histories all but gone. A true tragedy.
Not all gone at all.
They were stone age people warring between themselves and the first group the British interected with asked for help as another tribe had just committed genocidal raids and almost wiped out and displaced them. Littel "culture" was lost. Not all primitive groups had something special to offer.
@@rowbearly6128
Congrats you just described quite literally every stone-age culture, Europeans, Africans, Middle eastern, Asian etc.
@@thelordofnuggets629 ..YES, you twit, stone age cultures are the worthless beginnings of actual culture. tribalism, superstition, violence. Some cultures evolve and develop, like Europe and Asia, some remain unevolved.Those are to be discarded. Try to keep up.
IS it a tragedy that people disapear? I got berated for saying that it was sad that Korean were disapearing because they were not having cihldren. I don't know what is a tragedy or not, sometimes the same people will cry long gone people sometimes they will applaud populations being wiped out undertheirvery eyes, or colonized.
Those were the good old days.😀
I didnt know there were no abos in tasmania. Gee now i wanna move there!
Gee this is heartbreaking 😢
If they are anything like the aboriginals in Darwin, you kind of start to understand why.
this deep knowledge of the environment and respect for nature... he said about the indians ...umbilievable
Tasmanian Aboriginals are still there. They were living on the islands around Tasmanian when Charles Darwin visited for two days & met Truganini, writing her into his book about "Evolution" as The Last Tasmanian. He didn't know they were living on the islands around the main island.
However their culture, just like mainland Australia, was destroyed by forcing them to act & live like European, the English totally ignored their ancient culture & Australia is paying for that ignorance now.
See this thing is a lie. The culture was not destroyed. There are tens of thousands of first Tasmanian people speaking language and teaching culture all over that state today. And to pretend otherwise is to finish the job the initial genocide started - to silence them and ignore their existence.
There are no pure blood Tasmanian
What remains are more European than Tasmania
I feel like such a well researched video needs more love
It is AI script, poorly reseached and erroneous on most of the points it tries to make. Read The Vandemonian Wars by Nick Brodie for a well researched study on the topic.
its Rubbish to think a psychopath would ever take accountabilty for his nature.
With the music, I expected Topol to start singing...puzzling.
Got to think of the positives though. The wheel was introduced to the aboriginal’s, farming, medicine , writing , reading
the indigenous people knew more about their land than the colonist ever knew
The negatives outweigh the positives.. imagine, it almost eradicated their population.
@@bodybalanceU2what a load of rubbish, they couldn’t even scale a fish.
@@MishW-u7j says the person who has never met an indigenous person in their natural surroundings - ignorant much - go back to school mate and actually get an education
@@bodybalanceU2no tf they didn't 🤣they literally burnt a whole lot of forests and killed a bunch of animals
60 years ago, we never learnt much of this in school. I was always under the belief they were wiped out. Tragic disregard for them. It seems obvious now that the white and native groups could have cohabitated instead of isolating the groups, if there was a will to do it. Very sad.
When the first people arrived in Australia all of the larger slower species of marsupial became extinct. So much for living "in harmony" with the environment. They also bought dogs with them, now called dingos and protected as though they are native, which they aren't.
Who reads the comments while listening ?
The entire video theres a tune which in my language the song goes something like this " how pleasant it is to sit among brothers( friends) and its a dark contrast to the horrific story of the tasmanias natives
Almost like genocide is genocide is genocide. The Tasmanian, the yehu or the filistin.
Nah, they didnt "die out", they built Boats and "Sailed out". (Mainstream Academics do stretch my patience zone.)
I think a more interesting question is, what happened to the Tasmanian aboriginals on the mainland, given they were probably also the first inhabitants. Were they outcompeted by the later waves of aboriginal immigration, or were they the victims of deliberate genocide, well before the arrival of the Europeans ?
That question is easy answered the original people that inhabited Australia continuously inhabited Australia and developed a sustainable peaceful culture. There was no genocide of aboriginals by aboriginals
And is disturbing and shows much of what type of uncivilized savage you are...is this video is about the genocide of aboriginals on Tasmania and has nothing to do with mainland pre-invasion information. So why are you inserting something not respectful to the content?
@@Lux-x4y Absolutely not true for the mainland, but true for the Tasmanian aboriginals. Someone or something killed the mainland relatives of the Tasmanian aboriginals, they were gone long before the white man arrived. And however you might like to describe aboriginal existence, peaceful is not really a suitable adjective. Inter-tribal disputes were common, and settlement of such could be deadly. Possibly the later migrations were more advanced than the first migrations resulting in the original inhabitants being out competed by the later arrivals.
@@Lux-x4yyes there definitely would've been
@@jeanette5457 Tasmanian Aboriginals were the same as mainland Aboriginals and there was a seperation between the two and mainland gained genetic admixture from relationships between other humans. Where is the genocide? Never happened you just say it did. When all evidence points towards Aboriginals having peaceful relationships with surrounding tribes it's literally their culture.
FYI, Tasmania is still connected to the mainland, just…the connection is under water. What you meant to say, I believe, is that the land between Tassie and the mainland nowadays was once above sea level.
Isn’t every piece of land connected by that logic. Are you saying the connection under the sea is very shallow?
@@theclientzz6777 Yes. In fact, the land is all connected at the margins of mobile (floating) tectonic plates. Much of it is under water, which is why we are spared the horrific volcanic explosions that would rain death upon us if all was above water. Australia is connected to Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is connected to the Indian Subcontinent and to North Asia. The entire globe is a single land mass punctuated by water. The water rises and falls in cycles according to the ability of the planet to form and maintain ice. And so on.
@@petertrebilco9430 cool explanation. I didn’t know about the volcanos thanks for the information.
First contact with Europeans was either fatal or the natives wished it were. This story was repeated all over the world.
It’s not just a European thing.
@@Belisarius536 In regards to 1st contact, history proves you wrong.
@@parscompacta9241 so Europeans were the only people to come across other humans and make war on them? Sure buddy 👍
It didn’t happen to the small tribes in Africa the when the Arabs were expanding into the interior, supplanting their language, custom, and religion?
The Polynesians didn’t make war on the natives they encountered when expanding across the pacific, and the Han didn’t make war on the native people of Taiwan?
The Mongolians didn’t subject and destroy countless people groups on their campaign across the steppes?
Berbers weren’t enslaving the people as far away as Iceland when they first encountered them?
The Bantus haven’t been persecuting the Pygmy people in their expansion across Africa?
Which btw still goes on to this day.
I think it’s history proves you wrong, not that you understood my point in the first place.
I didn’t say European first contact wasn’t fatal, i said two groups making war after first contact isn’t specific to Europeans.
First contact doesn’t mean what you think it means. It isn’t just specific or reserved to the meeting primitive far flung tribes. It’s means when two cultures or people groups who don’t know each other, meet for the first time. When the Europeans met the Japanese; that was first contact, who of course are natives, which again, is an example which doesn’t follow your point.
It can mean anyone who hasn’t met, meeting for the first time.
@@Belisarius536 Put your feelings aside. The examples you give were not 1st contact. Those cultures new about each other already. Arab Muslims new of Iranians, Europeans & Africans prior to their invasions. African tribes new about each other for millenia. This is not about war in general but 1st contact specifically. When Europeans met Amerindians (Columbus), Aztec (Spanish), Australian Aboriginals & Tazmanians (English), Southern Africans vis Kongo kingdom, Zulu Kingdom, Nama peoples (English/Dutch/Portuguese) that was 1st contact. When the Chinese met East Africans (Zheng He) that was 1st contact. When the Ancient Greeks met the Chinese (indirectly) that was 1st contact.
Secondly, the character of the Tasmanian's experience with Europeans:
1. Concentration camps
2. Rape of their women resulting in creation of a mixed population.
3. Confiscating of their land
4. Wars of extermination
5. Enslavement
... these elements are exactly identical to the experience other cultures (Aboriginal Australians, Amerindians, Southern Africans) had with European 1st contact. Almost... formulaic. East Africans didn't experience this with 1st contact with Chinese even though the Chinese were technologically superior. So desparity in technology cannot be the excuse for European's behaviour vis 1st contact. It's an observation recorded by history.
Yeah we did!
They were European were 1000 times worse then this video is portraying.... This is a Sesame St version people .
sadly I agree...it was a GENOCIDE pure and simple.
This is so fucking devastating
In 50 years, aboriginal people all but wiped out.
Such cruel abhorrent history caused by Europeans.😢
If you actually had an interest in the topic you would have done research and you would understand what happened. But you choose to jump on the received opinion bandwagon. I suggest that you stasrt by looking at the primary source writings,correspondence and records of the times.
@@rowbearly6128lol no chance. She’s not going to do that.
Aboriginals were oppressing other clans, until they all got oppressed by the Europeans.
@@Xi_Jinping_is_Pooh but even then it was a two way thing. First aggression was by the aboriginal folks. It would have set the tone for proceeding arrivals to come.
They just stepped off the boat and they were attacked.
@@Belisarius536it amazes me that you believe your efforts change anything 😂
Almost half million aborigines were wiped out from Tasmania alone
They called it "Colonialism". That was their way of saying White European Dominance ! The Kings and Queens of Europe did that with absolutely no concern for the indigenous peoples at all ! It is interesting though that the different Tasmanian tribes warred against each other and even enslaved the captive members of other tribes and traded or sold some of them to the European hunters and farmers.
Completely untrue. Lots of kings and queens made many decrees to stop violence towards natives. Like Isabella of Spain decreed the natives of the new world weren’t to be harmed. King George decreed everything west of the Appalachian to be native lands and labelled it a no go zone and even forcibly removed rogue settlers who did try to settle past the Appalachians.
What you don’t understand is this was mostly done by private and commercial enterprise, and big corporations.
Did you not just watch the video. The whalers and sealers arrived and settled first. Do you think they were just random freelance whalers. No, they would have been working for a firm.
They set up their trading posts and established towns and encouraged people to come with promise of land and the people followed the commercial and economic opportunity or they acquired convicts to work and settle the land.
The big corporations were ruthless back then just as the are now. There’s a certain level of autonomy with these big corps back then. If they are working on behalf of the crown and they settle a piece of land around the world. They are rulers of that land in name of the crown. They are the bosses. It’s going to take a long time to pass news and decrees, and communiques to secluded underdeveloped colonies on the other side of the globe in age of sail. The problem is when these money hungry enterprises went out into the world they were answerable to nobody. The towns and settlements are technically crown territories but they are autonomous and making their own laws and pretty much answerable to themselves.
Commenting here as a New Zealander - the young Queen Victoria and Prince Albert insisted that the native populations of New Zealand were Not to be enslaved, persecuted or deprived of their livelihoods.
This resulted in the Treaty of Waitangi, signed by many, but not all, of the Maori Chiefs. Unfortunately, the Treaty was dishonored, ignored, and almost destroyed over the decades following the 1840s.
Today, contemporary Maori are still seeking redress, and economic compensation from the harms of Colonialisation.
Which Queen Victoria was so well aware of, and tried to mitigate.
Time sweeps everything away.
The best and the worst.
And greedy, land-hungry, profiteering, exploitation minded Europeans believed in their economic system in the face of all evidence to the contrary.
I only know that with human males in charge, "Might is always Right".
Whether he was a pre-European Aboriginal Chief or a Colonist.
Same old story, isn't it?
*Colonialist*
What a disgusting statement.
The Tasmanians felt the cold hard truth of colonisation . The mainland people’s were lucky
Good................!
Fun Fact: The Tasmanian Aboriginals had forgotten how to make fire... When Europeans made contact with them, they did not use fire. The theory is that there had been a 'Lord of the Flies' type scenario, where all the adults had died, and the children did not learn how to make the fires.
I heard about that
They also had a diff dna lineage to the aboriginals of mainland Australia
I also believe they lost fishing and sowing abilities too...

Robinson was not a friend. He was paid by the government for all Aboriginal people he gathered and had sent to Wybaleena on Flinders Island.

7:58 And there goes the narrative of the noble savages. Mankind is it’s own worst enemy, like it or not.
Opossum blankets?Perhaps I'm wrong but I thought that Opossums were only indigenous to the New World not Tasmania or Australia.
No you're 100% right I caught that too it would've been the Australian possum not the opossum which is only native to the new world like you said they're completely different animals as soon as I heard that I had to jump to the comments to see if anyone else noticed it
@charlesenbom To be fair I did Google it and according to what I've found there is a form of Tasmanian pygmy opossum which lives in parts of Tasmania and Australia but I've also looked at the size of it and based on what I've seen it seems it would take alot of trouble to make a blanket out of an animal that small.
Possum and Opossum are different species. Both are marsupial but possums are everywhere in Australia. Seperated from Opossum by millions of years of course, but yeah they're native to here. Not NZ though which means in New Zealand they're considered a pest and have to be culled
Possums live in Tasmania, not O possums very different species. Possums also on mainland Australia.
In many ways the story of Tasmania's Aboriginals is very similar to that of the Chattam island Moriori .
How is so much apparently known about Tasmanian aborigines?
Folks study historical references ... handed down lore traditions ... lots of books from early studies ... facts ... science ...
@@jackbnimble9257 cant believe the ignorant comment from brianne - as if there was no history of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people

Tasmanian Aboriginals are the last of their kind. The first Australians on the mainland were wiped out by a second wave of immigration now known as mainland aboriginal
If Australia and Tasmania were one land, we can take the Abo admission that they weren't the first people there to apply to Tasmania.
That out of tune clarinet wailing in the background was far too distracting to enjoy this video
Here's a question,if Aboriginals have been here for 8000 years why is the population so small.only Australia wide 1million in 1780.Have a look at just Mexico they had huge empires way more ppl than Europe.i say they have only been here about 1500 years.
Because it's a load of BS that number changes every 2 years I'm 18 and within my school years it went from 60 to 75 not they're saying 80+
Much like neanderthals aboriginals arnt gone they live on amongst many modern day Australians

On my fathers side I am a direct descendant of a NSW central coast mob and on my mothers side the NW Tasmanian mob. I am also a decendant of the first white private land owners in the far NW coast of Tasmania. An area I was born and raised in , mostly in the bush. So am I more white or indiginous? Do I claim benefits? I have some very distinct indigenous facial features but my skin is pretty much pale. My older brother on the other hand in born of the Mt Isa mob and you pretty much cant pick him from the Isa locals. It both saddens and sickens me that there are still some pretty ignorant racist scum in the comments here all bent and butt hurt because there are still many that carry the indigenous bloodline. Even sicker is the aholes that were pretty much openly racist when I was growing up now claiming benefits because they feel and identify as indigenous. Their day will come though and it will be messy and justified.
The poor buggers were used for sport shooting by the British
The pictures are largely not accurate and do not depict indigenous people from Tasmania. As an indigenous descendant and a representative of my Aboriginal heritage, I find this to be unsettling, untrue and an improper presentation of my ancestors. Please remedy this as a sign of respect to the amazing people from whom I descend.
I don't get how white European can name everything 😂
Hello?
"white European" makes no sense also aboriginals Literally had no name for Australia so there ya go
Dirty devils
Funny to see how the earliest austraians came to the australian continent by boat over 40000 years earlier and how so much of their former technology got lost to the extent that they were not capable of going to the main continent and vice versa.
They also lost the knowledge to make fire over that time. Crazy
It can happen to all Humans
Bass Strait is a very wide and treacherous waterway, whereas the Torres Strait is shallow and narrow. They could island hop and walk across land bridges. It takes an overnight ship journey to reach the mainland today.
@@lifeliver9000that didnt happen and it's a racist myth to boot. Stop saying lies.
@@Stevies_Precog_Gym_n_Spa420 what lies looks like you are the only one who lies. But I’m not as ignorant to throw words like racist etc either though u sound like a pedo haha. I read Gisela Volger who examined the evidence. Aborigines would go vast distances to get fire from other Mobs and even from enemies as the lore was who ever asked would get it they can fight after. When asked why don’t you make fire they said it is given to them from the sky spirits (lightening). Many documented examples of aborigines roaming eating raw kangaroos etc till they can find fire. To be balanced a fire stick was found. that’s a stick with rubbing marks which can make fire. So a conclusion can be made that a few might have or it was a treasure
Much of what was done to the aboriginal families was also being done in the Scottish Isles and Canada!
Minute 14:02, why is the man on the left wearing a turban?
Wow, that was depressing.
Personally, I refuse to believe that any peoples that were contacted by Europeans ended up in worse conditions than before those magnificent people showed up. The monarchy has never harmed anyone.
says the delusional ignorant person who has no idea of the history of the Tasmanina Aboriginal people
Do they find knapped stone in Tasmania? Or is there any stone in Tasmania that can knapped?
? They weren't cavemen.
The abos were the first to really enjoy diversity and all its advantages 😊
So much of this was needless death. The age of chivalrous european knights who protect the weak was truly dead when they arrived to Tasmania.
What didn’t happen to this beautiful creature including the main island, like the New Zealand Māori people
Why people making videos want to drown out their narrators with hokey music or any noise is beyond me. It drives me nuts.
Showing american Indians as tasmanian aboriginals
Whos making these videos, I watched 1that said on the comments list that somebody thought the big rock in the dessert killed the dinosaurs
They were hunted to extinction by recreational hunters who were issued permits to shoot them for a shilling the practice ceased as hunters complained they were being robbed as there is none left. The last permits were issued in the 1950s 14:13
Interesting musical choice.. henei ma tov u'manayim.. Hebrew folk tune!
i was in hobart once, people said the aborigines
were exterminated and the island turn to poppy plantation.
But it wasn't and they weren't.
Also why the Klezmer background music?
Genocide theme. Which is pretty relevant at the moment wouldn't you say. Makes you think. About Palestinians
@@Stevies_Precog_Gym_n_Spa420 You realize a lot of Jews support Palestine right? I’m one of them. I can love my culture and love Palestine too, we are cousins after all. Fuck nationalism and fuck the state, only people matter. Don’t ever go making assumptions like that.
There were issues with farming practices that caused fights.
How did they survive there in the ice age?
My goodness they must have had a brutal life.
WHO KNOWS...WHO CARES...
24,000,000 AUSTRALIANS...
3,00,000 ABORIGINES.
People could have brought old artifacts to Australia much later
It's incredible how the white man has made so many ethnicities and cultures disappear around the world...
Says 8000 years of isolation but every island in polynesia had a name for australia and Tasmania 😂😂😂
Hello?
8k years isolated islan just like the sentinal island in india
They were show first settlers harvest Time the simplicity of the Neanderthal species is definitely a part of their DNA they could be 50% the science says I will be honest their phenotype is really perplexed some of them look very very close to neanderthals some of the first settlements of man that walked the Earth and I believe they are and they should be treasured and loved and protected at all costs
Please dont show fake video. Go and get a real job and start contributing to society.
The million dollar question is who wiped them out? Why did they wipe them out and what did they do with their resources?…
With their recourses?
AT 4:34... Fancy the creator of this censoring out a woman's chest when it's only just a hand drawn picture!!... absolute laughable!! 🤣🤣🤣
4:16 There are no “O’possums” in Australia, let alone Tasmania. “O’possums” are native to North America. Australia has “possums”.
Really great video mate.
What happened? Whites wiped them out completely 😢
Not completely. Plenty of first Tasmanians around. Saying they all died or that some of them are mixed so not really Aboriginal - that stuff is just finishing the genocide the British started. Don't ignore them and don't silence them, they exist today and will happily talk about culture. The white fellas talking revisionist nonsense in these comments have an agenda.
Incorrect
"We're not conducting genocide, were just protecting our land... right?" -European settlers probably
😂 what happened? You know what happened
