The attack began at 8am on 28 October 1834.
Led by the governor of Western Australia,
Captain James Stirling, an armed party of 25 people – alongside
Stirling were the colony’s surveyor general, JS Roe; the police
superintendent, Theophilus Ellis; a leading settler, Thomas Peel; five
mounted police officers; eight soldiers of the 21st Regiment; and eight
civilians – attacked a Pindjarup Noongar encampment on the Murray River,
85km south of Perth. (Dr Chris Owen: Guardian 20 November 2019)
James Stirling is buried in Guildford near St John's Stoke Church
This Australian Dictionary of Biography entry should be updated with the facts of the massacre - and reviewed in light of present day reading of the letters and journals of the time.

In recent years, he has used the true story of Chinese-Australian bushranger Sam Poo as a "vessel to reveal the truth of history but also the reality of what being Chinese Australian, or Asian Australian, or an immigrant, is."

Phuong Ngo
Phuong Ngo says: "To put it in simple terms, it's that question that every single person who isn't part of the mainstream Australian community gets asked: 'Where are you from?'
"What it really means is, you don't look like you belong here. And if you are constantly asked where you are from, and the answers that you give aren't satisfactory, then you have to question 'Do I really belong here? Am I encroaching on someone else's space?'
"And you then start interrogating who you are and where you have come from — literally, metaphorically, personally, emotionally."

14th Amendment (ratified in 1868) granted national birthright
