Boe Spearim is a Gamilaraay and Kooma radio host and podcaster who lives in Brisbane. Frontier War Stories - a podcast dedicated to truth-telling about a side of Australia that has been left out of the history books. Each episode Boe will speak with different Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people about research, books and oral histories which document the first 140 years of conflict and resistance. These times are the Frontier Wars and these are our War Stories.
Image galleries (Frontier Wars, prisoner abuse, freedom fighters, massacres, habitats and villages), plus resources and history with lots of references.
What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia? This anthology attempts to showcase as many diverse voices, experiences, and stories as possible to answer that question. Each account reveals, to some degree, the impacts of invasion and colonisation.
Written as an introductory guidebook, it is broken into chapters covering organisation, strategies, weaponry, and defences. It considers both traditional practices and technological and tactical adaptations. To make this complex topic more accessible, How They Fought includes numerous tables, figures and diagrams that illustrate and summarise the contents.
