About the project
This ebook was converted from a PDF manuscript supplied by the customer to epub and mobi. The print version of this book was originally published in 2002 and contained many URLs. These URLs were functioning when first published, but are not all were functional in 2014. We ensured that only the functioning URLs were linked, as broken links are not accepted by vendors. The ebook was distributed to all major vendors once approved by the customer.
About the book
The account of the period of first contact between Traditional Owners and European newcomers, with the resulting warfare and destruction of Indigenous societies through disease and malnutrition, sets in context later Queensland Government decisions. Government responses to the Aboriginal ‘problem’ became a history of legislation and an oppressive regime which controlled ATSI Peoples’ lives until the early 1970s.
