Description

Layer Warning:

This layer contains historical information about Aboriginal people that may be distressing. It contains names of people who have also passed away.

Jandamarra was born probably in 1873 and raised on his father’s land, in the late 1880s. At that time wealthy white people, including Isodore Emanuel, William Lukin and William Forrester were taking over vast areas of land to run sheep. They met some resistance from the people occupying the land. The WA government implemented a ‘pacification’ policy, deploying a quarter of the police force to aid the 1% of the WA white population resident in the Kimberley. The government closed its eyes to the massacres of Aboriginal people done by police and pastoralists. It became known as the Killing Time (1890–1926).
