Aboriginal Tent Embassy Canberra<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Each year Indigenous Australians march to remember the uncounted thousands whom were massacred during the British colonial invasion of Australia.<\/p>\n

The Aboriginal Tent Embassy is demanding the honour, respect and dignity be afforded to those slaughtered during the colonisation of Australia to be acknowledged in a National Day of Remembrance for the Frontier Massacres and that a monument be erected on ANZAC Parade infront of the War Memorial in Canberra.<\/p>\n

Previous attempts by Aboriginal People to honour their dead in the official ANZAC day march have been handed the greatest indignity by event organisers and police who physically block the procession and prevent living descendants from honoring their fallen Ancestors at the Australian War Memorial on April 25th.<\/p>\n

watch the video here<\/a><\/p>\n

We ask that the Australian Government initiate an official enquiry into the exact nature and details of the Frontier Massacres of Aboriginal People from 1778 until the present day and produce a proper report into the matter.<\/p>\n

We also ask for an Official National Day of Remembrance to occur every year for the Frontier Massacre of Aboriginal people in Australia from 1788 onwards. This Day of remembrance is to occur on a signifigant date during colonisation, not ANZAC day, as this is a separate issue.<\/p>\n

We also ask that a proper memorial be constructed on ANZAC Parade infront of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to honour our Ancestors whom were slaughtered during the colonisation of Australia.<\/p>\n

The furthering of proceedings in relation to this issue must be decided at a NATIONAL SUMMIT MEETING to be held in Canberra April 16-18 of this year at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.<\/p>\n

We invite all Aboriginal people, supporters and those affected by or with knowledge of the massacres to come forward at the national meeting.<\/p>\n

follow this link to RSVP your attendace at the national Frontier Massacres Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Canberra this April to help lay to rest this national indignity.<\/p>\n

Massacre Details ;<\/p>\n

The ‘Frontier Wars’ were undeclared yet resulted in the destruction of entire tribes and nations, We will never know for certain the exact figure.<\/p>\n

The documentation needed to determine an exact figure is scarce – be it 100,000 or more ? A proper enquiry has never been comissioned, but absolutely must occur to determine the true nature of the colonisation of Australia.<\/p>\n

Two historians, Raymond Evans and Robert \u00d8rsted-Jensen, have concluded that in Queensland alone – the epicentre of frontier war in the mid-19th century Australia – at least 65,180 Aboriginal Australians were killed from the 1820s until the early 1900s.<\/p>\n

Considering that their research focuses on Queensland alone, their findings are freighted with a disturbing implication about the number of Indigenous Australians killed continent-wide. Australian deaths in world war one would pale in comparison.<\/p>\n

“Certainly the stories of massacres of Indigenous Australians are everywhere in the archives of the major cultural institutions of Australia and Great Britain. The diaries, letters, journals and memoirs of colonial and postcolonial officials, troops, police, farmers, frontiersmen and women are replete with accounts of fights against – and massacres of – the “marauding blacks”<\/em>. –\u00a0Sovereign Union<\/a><\/p>\n
