Just heard an ABC series on this. Seems the world over we've treated indigenous people very poorly. Shame on us.
Amazed to learn how widespread the abuse was.

@SethGreene531 I’m glad you choose to educate yourself. If more people did that I feel we would be closer to understanding. A lot of the true history was wiped, it’s certainly not something that was taught while I was at school.

@NotladylikeAnd likewise, here as well.

History is conveniently rewritten. Easier on the conscience that way.
If there are vague references to it, it's from ministers and heads of state. The real truth is blacker and more disturbing than they dare admit.

I agree, it will take people confronting the matter head on to bring change.
