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 regrouped his army and returned to his country. There is no doubt that the government, led by Sir John Forrest, gave the police discretionary powers to undertake a massive offensive, killing Aboriginal people without consequence during the wet season of 1894-5 and went to great lengths to prevent the carnage being made public. But the carnage did not stop. Police and settlers continued to kill indiscriminately and were able to boast of it. There were massacres at Margaret River Gorge and Dimond Gorge in the Milawundi (King Leopald Range). Jandamarra, his mother and a comrade called Captain were resting by Windjana Pool when a group of troopers ran in firing. Jandamarra escaped but his mother was taken away in chains. Jandamarra called to her from the top of the gorge as she was led away. He never saw her again. She was enslaved as a house servant in Roebourne.Ā
