First Nations: Massacres & Missions

According to the introduction to the Colonial Frontiers Massacres Map, the aims are to:

1. Identify and record sites of frontier massacres of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous people across Australia from 1788 to 1930.
2. Provide the first Australia wide record of frontier massacres that is comprehensive, based on a rigorous methodology, with well-structured data and a map, and providing the available evidence for each frontier massacre site.
3. Inform public debate about colonial frontier violence.
4. Provide open access knowledge to the public and invite contributions.
