Talk:Myall Creek massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
what happened in the second trial the the Myall Creek Massacre??? i need some info for my assignment i have got to reserch for it... yeah me too
[edit] Clarify
The event of the Myall Creek massacre shows the prejudice of the British towards the Aboriginals even thogh they had invede their land!
"This was the first time that the European legal system had been used to punish white people for crimes against Aboriginal people."
Is this true? Or is the more tightly worded sentance in the Significance section more accurate? Rich Farmbrough 00:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
*NEEDTO BE ANSWERED PLEASE* I was researching this for a school project and was wondering, what where the stockmen actually killing the Aboriginals for? in a school textbook, it said that they where killed becuase an Aboriginal broke into a house and stole some food or something, (but was not from the tribe near the hut, some other tribe)so the stockmen just went and murdered the nearest tribe. i don't know if this is true, but i've looked all over the place and i just can't find a single thing. if this could be answered, that would be really helpful. Thanks, Puzzlled
- It's in the third line under "The Massacre". Man, not only do people want us to do their research, but also read the article for them (!) --pfctdayelise (translate?) 09:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
