Killings of The Tamanian Aborigines

People that lived in the wild.

Tasmanian Aborigines lived in the wild and were attacked savagely and British men traded dead seals and dogs for Aborigine women to be used as sex slaves for other purposes.

This started in the year 1803 to 1804 and the British colonisation had conflict with the Tasmanian Aborigines. Massacres of killings had started for a period and women and children were kidnapped. They had the idea that all Aborigines were killed but years alter three hundred more were spotted in the wild.  

The main reason for killing these gatherer hunters was of the disease they were infected by, though the disease had killed most of them they were also murdered violently. Making it the Black War which was reordered as one of the earliest modern genocides.

The domestic, family and social were the three distinct levels  that the Tasmanian Aborigines were divided into as a tribe. Some of these tribes still exist but their languages are lost and they have research their words.
