Your comment is a canard. The term used is 'discovered by Europeans' meaning they saw it for the first time for themselves (in the context of the narrative). I can discover a shop tomorrow, but this doesn't mean the shop didn't exist before I saw it. Plus it goes against the argument of the work, which is sensitive and well-considered.

So sad and much like the indigenous Indians of America. My husbands tribe once numbered 72,000 and they were the dominant tribe from southern Alaska to the Northern California coast. Today, they number 8,600. The population started to increase after the seizing of children for government schools stopped. A lot of those children commited suicide to escape the abuse.

She wasn't the last Tasmanian aboriginal. I was taught by a Tasmanian elder uncle Bill that using the phrase "last full blood" basically is unacknowledging the rest of the indiginouse community that have been mixing with white people. So by saying that truganini was the last full blood the colonizers could claim no one was left. Which wasn't true at all. They tried to do the same thing with the stolen gen. So sad

My aunt was Tasmanian Aboriginal, a descendant of Fanny Cochrane Smith. Fanny was a contender for being the last full-blood Tasmanian Aboriginal. Her mother was Tanganutura and her father could have been Nicermenic (a full-blooded Aboriginal) or else an unknown white man. Having some white blood does not stop one from being aboriginal.

Wow! Discovery is something else.

Great video! Just a little note: it is politically incorrect to call Truganini “the last Tasmanian Aboriginal person”, as there is still a strong community of people with Tasmanian Aboriginal heritage. In saying this though, she was most likely the last full-blooded Tasmanian Aboriginal person.

Great video but one sore spot for me is that you can't discover a place that already has a native population.

I feels so awful that she probably died knowing her last wishes would probably be ignored, she watched as her people went from being viewed as a resource to a nuisance then to an oddity.

She was tuff as.

As an Aussie (of European decent) what was done was atrocious and unfortunately it was not limited to Tasmania . The Europeans tried to wipe out the Aborigines either thru killing them or breeding them out. It was terrible absolutely disgusting.

I remember hearing about truganini when I was in primary school

The notion that the Europeans should have signed a treaty with the Tasmanian Aborigines is seriously unrealistic. The language barrier made it impossible and the fact there were several languages and different tribes and that there was not one Aborigine who could have spoken for all others, it was totally impossible.Without Collins learning at least half a dozen different languages, customs and laws in order to properly communicate with representatives from various tribes, there would have needed to be a representative from each Aboriginal tribe taught English and English laws.........etc.etc....there could never have been a treaty agreed too and understood by all involved without this vital understanding. It would literally been an impossible task.
