My name is Brenton Richards. I'm from the Bungarla tribe, we're the traditional owners of the Eyre Peninsula area.

White invasion has created genocide and especially here on Eyre Peninsula, I think there's more recordings of massacres and killings of Aboriginal people in Eyre Peninsula than anywhere else in Australia.

Some of the things are the Elliston massacre where they drove people off the cliff, the poisoning of the waterholes and the lacing of the flour took its toll on our people here.

Hello, my name's Daryl Naylor. I'm the Aboriginal Health Development Officer here at Austin Health. I descend from Gundungurra which is an Aboriginal tribe in New South Wales.

I think the other thing about the media in particular around massacres is we tend to portray in the school systems a snow white history of Australia and people aren't exposed to what really went on. We have this sort of 'cute factor' in terms of Australian history where we believe, say, explorers went out and founded this land, these brave explorers and they did it at almighty cost.

What they don't recognise largely is most Aboriginal people, black trackers, went out with them and found the land for them and with them but we do not get that recognition.

Hello, my name's Geoffrey Shannon Gabula from Tennant Creek. I want to talk about the atrocities done to Aboriginal people - past and recent. In my grandfather's day, my father's father, they lived in the bush.

My people are Walpari people - they lived in the Tanami. And my grandfather was shot in Hanson Creek. The Constance massacres, massacres happening all along the Constance and Orlando Rivers and Hanson Creek and there were bad things have happened after that. Our kids and the women and all that were shot because of pastorals coming onto our land in the late 1920's and they just were very cruel.
