Cassandra Piracy today. Cassandra.
0:20
Is an internationally recognized Australian story
0:23
and whose based in Tasmania. She.
0:26
Live south of Hobart. In a very
0:28
lovely part of the world. On
0:30
the banks of the Don't Focus Don't Channel. That
0:33
runs between the Tasmanian mainland and
0:35
Briny Island. Cassandras.
0:38
Family has a longstanding connection to
0:40
the area. While back.
0:42
To. The early colonial period. In.
0:45
That colonial era. Tasmania.
0:48
Was a source of fascination. For
0:51
collectors and for museums all
0:53
over Europe. And
0:55
there was a huge demand. For
0:57
specimens of it's exotic wildlife.
1:00
For. Skeletons final scenes and
1:03
purposes and Tasmanian devils.
1:06
But this was nothing like the intense
1:08
demand. For the mortal
1:10
remains of the first nations people
1:13
of Tasmania. For. The
1:15
skulls and bones. Of those who
1:17
was said at the time to be. The.
1:20
Last members of a dying
1:22
rice. And
1:24
the most convenient source for
1:26
those bodies in colonial times.
1:29
Was. An aboriginal station. Built.
1:32
On Oyster Cove. Near. Where
1:34
Cassandra lives today and where she grew up.
1:38
The Center had already written a biography of
1:40
Truck and any who spent her last year's
1:42
an Oyster Cove was only when. Cassandra
1:45
had completed that book. That. She
1:47
stumbled onto a dark and ghoulish
1:49
secret buried in the records. But.
1:53
The bones of aboriginal people in
1:55
Tasmania had been harvested. Furtively.
1:59
And. Illegally. From their
2:01
graves. And. Then carried
2:03
off to museums and universities all over
2:05
the world. And. Slid
2:07
her on the hunt. The find. Powerful,
2:09
People behind. This. Conspiracy.
2:13
Of bodysnatchers. Sanders
2:15
new book is called a Very Secret
2:17
Tried. And. Just one either. Awesome
2:20
distressing elements. Two parts of the story and
2:22
we will be mentioning some people who died.
2:25
Hell, I can require it said he
2:27
grew up in that part of Tasmania.
2:29
What are your memories from your childhood
2:32
of a kid? Rounded area. Well, Paradise
2:34
as it still is is not
2:36
much sayings. three lengths. That one
2:38
I didn't know of course was
2:40
that the Aboriginal station which was
2:42
next door to where my family
2:45
still lived on the original. I
2:47
instead it was just a derelict
2:49
site. had they were the last
2:51
of the Tasmanian people, had been
2:53
taken to die and. Could you I'm
2:55
around? The place was like he was. I could. Get
2:58
there he could if you adventurous children's
3:00
like me and my cousins because the
3:02
something like and I'll ruin the some
3:05
of the footings where they're still be
3:07
as old hey pipe said be bits
3:09
of broken crockery And it was years
3:11
later when I came back to live
3:14
in Tasmania when I was in my
3:16
late thirties in the same place did
3:18
I discovered that that was we're trying
3:20
in any has lived out nearly most
3:23
of her at all costs. Almost adjacent
3:25
to Wear, my family has lived through
3:27
New. Eyes no I don't think anybody my
3:29
family new so I kind of made it
3:32
my. Business. To find out.
3:34
So that was my first very
3:36
first book was about what happened
3:38
to the Aboriginal people of Tasmania.
3:40
That was cool. Community A sees
3:42
my second book thirty years later
3:44
was focused on that one remarkable
3:46
woman. I realized on his shoulders
3:48
I stand. I mean, I live
3:50
in this paradise. I live this
3:52
wonderful life because. It.
3:54
Was taken. From. Target. Any know I'm a junior
3:57
at the Family Connection going right back way
3:59
back to your. Ancestry came out from Britain.
4:01
Richards pipes to me a bit about him.
4:03
Well he he comes from and quite
4:05
well to do family besides had a
4:07
bank and he had a wine and
4:09
spirits salt but I think there was
4:11
a depression since Britain at that time.
4:13
I think he was probably one of
4:15
the few people more many people who
4:17
thought well they're offering all this land
4:19
free. No money at all ever needs
4:21
to be spent to get it in
4:23
Tasmania So you know let's go there.
4:26
and when he got to test my the what man was given to him.
4:28
Two. Thousand Six Hundred acres initially. and
4:31
then another. see Thousand Six Hundred Acres
4:33
little while after, and then another couple
4:35
of hundred light years across the channel.
4:37
And then another two Thousand Six Hundred
4:39
acres. Further, Up the dough and river. Just
4:42
like that. the fort that's what became of
4:44
him in the and Richard was smile. Well,
4:46
he got into a lot of
4:48
debt, had to sell most his
4:50
property. I think I'm drinking. Problem
4:53
solved. To tell persists I come
4:55
from others, downwardly mobile family and
4:57
Tasmanian history. I don't think is
4:59
anybody who hit the bottom quite
5:01
a success. My family does, so
5:03
they didn't hang onto that land
5:05
and. Bruni all as a very long at all
5:07
this places. Name for them there is
5:09
Pybus Hill implied a straight. And
5:11
Pybus Road and things. Like that, but
5:14
there's no family holdings know
5:16
ancestral. Lands eventually be government
5:18
A that land centers across.
5:20
The land just across it was quite
5:22
a small piece of land just across
5:24
the channel from his butts large land
5:26
grants and I think the idea would
5:28
be that that would be a day
5:30
post to bring his grain harvest the
5:32
brain that and convict for going for
5:34
him that he never used it and
5:36
the government. Took. It back to
5:38
put a convict settlement. Their work teams
5:41
would be housed there and after a
5:43
couple of years they took the convicts.
5:45
Why? Because it was too unhealthy to
5:48
have convicts. Leaving the it was too low.
5:50
And full of seasons and and to
5:52
some polling places he knows quite beautiful
5:54
but is very cold very miserable place
5:57
and so that they decided was where
5:59
the full. He fires survivors officers.
6:01
People of Tasmania who had been
6:03
in a camp on the Fringes
6:06
islands should be repatriated because it
6:08
was too expensive to look after
6:10
them On Send Alonso to put
6:12
them in a disused convict station
6:15
which was too unhealthy to put
6:17
convicts. In. Atrocities will be Indigenous people
6:19
who'd been taken off the Tasmanian mainland,
6:21
sent up to Flint is all and
6:23
in best straight from work conditions had
6:25
been disastrous his eyes and lead to
6:27
a huge die off due to say
6:29
too cold, too many prisons or vessel
6:31
to think so was like forty five
6:33
people were list or the five people
6:35
left right and that were brought to
6:37
oyster Cult. they'll direction. And within
6:40
the first five years, A
6:42
whole lot of people just disappeared from
6:44
the records. Presumably they die, Presumably they
6:46
were buried, but you know there's no
6:48
records. Nothing until one person who had
6:50
been in charge of Flint is islands
6:52
towards Augustus Robinson turns up this and
6:55
he could identify the graves of ten
6:57
people, but there was about thirteen other
6:59
people completely on the counted. For more
7:01
conditions like at that Spicer forever some
7:03
people living there it was very cold.
7:06
Was called it was damp but they
7:08
could go hunting. They would go on
7:10
these long hunting trips all the way
7:12
to the west coast and I come
7:14
back so much more healthier and happier
7:16
and and then the winter would set
7:18
in and they all had size we
7:20
can tell nice and tuberculosis it. They
7:23
picked up a friend is Alice so
7:25
they dug very quickly every winter. every
7:27
winter they would be just be carried
7:29
off. Sometimes I will be notice about
7:31
it this sometimes it would be some
7:33
suggesting that they'd been buried but basically
7:35
no. One was paying much. Attention. Most
7:37
famous inhabitants of that station was
7:39
kind of any who europe the
7:42
biography of. Targeting the use of
7:44
the girl was aware of the kids he was always
7:46
have a classic. All I knew about it the last
7:48
the last has mine in every single person. What kind
7:50
of story did you hear about her as a kid
7:53
but exactly. That one. That. Was the
7:55
school those school child's account of this
7:57
woman and only look the picture was.
8:00
Her was dressed up in European closing at
8:02
the end of philosophy books to block a
8:04
photograph of her. then because she was a
8:06
rarity lit the important thing about her was
8:08
jammed into All of us have said she
8:11
was the last so from that we can
8:13
take the a runner more weed on a
8:15
do I buy them anymore So sad, so
8:17
sad. such a sad story. It's not the
8:19
real story was of course no one was
8:22
gonna tell. I mean the idea was that
8:24
they just say did away somehow. And.
8:26
So I wanted to show this very
8:28
resilient woman who had lived to be
8:31
nearly seventy years old, which in that
8:33
in the mid nineteenth centuries. Astonishing.
8:36
For anybody, any woman,
8:38
And. Had never succumb to
8:40
being somebody servants, somebody slays,
8:42
never anglicised and name she
8:44
was very much for a
8:46
woman right. To Leann the
8:48
last. What she. Was. Fabulous sparked the
8:50
destruction of her entire world and those
8:53
who has a around it. well. Enough
8:55
the apocalypse that happened around her. that's
8:57
right, sees the great survivor and she
8:59
wasn't of course the only survivor. They
9:02
were other women in the best I'd
9:04
islands who survived and from them we
9:06
get. The current has my. Aboriginal
9:08
community. What? We know about
9:10
a different circumstances in which he said about
9:13
how she wanted her remains to be treated
9:15
after his demo. When she was the last
9:17
person living down at oyster cause see
9:19
fond of friendship with the local with
9:21
the cause minister and he's to take
9:23
of fishing tater of the sea oil
9:25
had to be taken over to her
9:27
home country which was Bruni island and
9:29
so he has to take about one
9:31
day. she made him stop brian the
9:33
middle of is very deep channels it
9:35
dawns a cast a child and she got
9:37
our hands and knees and she said.
9:40
Barry. Me Here is the deepest
9:42
place. Promise me. Promise me. is
9:45
the deeps price. Promised me. Promise
9:47
for. So they can't get my buddy.
9:50
And then she said the people
9:52
in Hobart have taken taken every
9:54
one skulls and now that won't
9:56
mind. What?
9:58
Happens. In. The and. The the have
10:00
to see what as he died and well they
10:02
little it's open. A big scramble to get
10:04
the body mostly the Royal Society of
10:06
Tell My New had applied for other
10:09
bodies and the government was determined she
10:11
would be properly. Bury. So the had
10:13
a secret burial in a supposedly
10:15
secret place which was that prison.
10:17
Behind. High prison walls and that
10:19
she was supposed to be safe
10:22
in their but two years later
10:24
she was secretly zoomed and many
10:26
years after that her complete skeleton
10:28
was put on display in them
10:30
Tasmania Museum To. Noticing that was a kid.
10:32
I believe I sword and then I
10:34
learnt when I first wrote my first
10:36
book I corrected that I thought I
10:39
must have dreamt that eyesore because apparently
10:41
been taken off display the is that
10:43
I was born but other people too
10:45
many of the people who buy respect
10:47
have told me to say sore it
10:49
in the fifties and sixties so I
10:51
think I put it back on display
10:53
because it was the most important thing
10:55
that has. And when she put under spires
10:58
like some kind of scientific curiosity. She.
11:00
Was put on display as the last. Don't
11:02
mistake, there are a more of them we
11:04
don't need to I about them. they're robots
11:06
and a gone because I was so primitive
11:09
and so if someone like her continue to
11:11
survive you couldn't run that narratives. It was
11:13
inevitable as they would die out. the was
11:15
an act of genocide. It was inevitable. That
11:17
I would buy a so so she was put
11:19
on display. Not as assigned to be said to
11:21
the political one. really. It was like to say
11:23
it's finished experienced in fact that last minute a
11:25
series of the on the get rough. The tasmanian
11:28
dealings with all of the skeletal remains
11:30
that they thought. and then the the
11:32
pictures everything has Think that's the message.
11:34
This was the end. This is it.
11:36
This is a race of people who
11:38
disappeared from the size of earth somehow
11:40
or other, and we don't have to
11:42
worry about the manual. So.
11:44
You written this policy of pregnancy?
11:47
This resourceful woman who survived to
11:49
the to seventy despite everything that
11:51
was going on around her. When.
11:54
Did you realize they must be more to the store? Well
11:57
I was about to send off my manuscript
11:59
and I said. We thought I better
12:01
go and look at the papers of
12:03
Enzo Be plumlee who had transcribe. Robinson's
12:05
journals on which I'd realized. So much
12:07
in case of made a mistake or and
12:09
case I've missed something. So. I'm
12:12
up in this tiny museum in Launceston,
12:14
thumbing through always paper and suddenly I
12:16
saw this. Transcribe leather that
12:19
Plumlee had scarcely transcribe.
12:21
From own lawyer. I vaguely
12:23
the adults morton Old Port in which
12:25
he said. In a
12:27
museum in Hobart? I. Have
12:30
a perfect skeleton. Of.
12:32
An aboriginal woman. Her.
12:35
Name was Patty. I knew her well
12:37
he wrote and this skeleton is perfect
12:39
because she was never buried. Who.
12:42
Was this more open to read the letter?
12:44
Well he was the only son of a
12:46
very famous. Early settlers family the
12:49
all Port family. He was a
12:51
lawyer like his father was in.
12:53
His mother was an artist and
12:55
he was very interested in collecting
12:57
for very early age and he
12:59
collected Silas Same live staffed. Skeletons
13:02
He collected other things that he sent
13:04
off to museums because he knew he
13:06
would always live out his life in
13:08
this place at the end of the
13:11
world. But what he really wanted was
13:13
recognition from scientific organizations in England and
13:15
he got them by sending them. Human
13:17
remains so you say he he promised by
13:20
the he'd written word where he said he
13:22
was pleased to say he was in possession
13:24
of a skill us and full skeleton of
13:26
an average woman called passes who was patty
13:29
she was very close. Friend of tagging
13:31
a nice What? this a number of
13:33
quite famous photograph taken at least cousin
13:35
very often three women in them, patty,
13:37
Bessie and Frog in any see what
13:40
had the poorest constitutions and see was
13:42
several times taken to the hospital in
13:44
towns and the last time there was
13:46
a scramble. forget her body space to
13:48
people apply to the Klein your secretary's
13:51
to get the body once he died.
13:53
one of them with William crowd the
13:55
surgeon in towns and the other one
13:57
was the Royal Society of Tasmania. The
14:00
new museum was run by Morton. all thought
14:02
I'd get so she's not even did and
14:04
is a lot of interest in her because
14:06
she's quite ill about who can get hold
14:08
of her remains. What do we know of
14:10
the circumstances of his. Well but I knew
14:13
and I rise that dragon any was that
14:15
she died in hospital bought and say and
14:17
so it's only when I made a said
14:19
I have to ask myself. I'll
14:22
what what? I thought our Santa Bear
14:24
is like a lot and I realized
14:26
not only had I not seen a
14:28
burial or this it is it gets
14:30
so petty and then the same ones
14:32
that anyone. Except
14:34
Sunday and any months later
14:36
this as long before he
14:39
died and Billy's any again
14:41
later before then know death
14:43
certificates. Know they'll records.
14:46
So. Sued for hims are you had been taken
14:48
from was the cove to not sought that's a
14:50
hard time to the house austria up to her
14:52
buckeye and and it has to died in that
14:54
hospital. Dot in the hospital and according to
14:56
the hospital records to then I went
14:59
looking state ordered a porpoise coffin for
15:01
her and that very day she was
15:03
putting his coffin and taken to a
15:05
pauper graveyards. Two things about this this
15:07
or she should have been returned. To
15:09
oyster cause. The superintendent or
15:11
to cove was never told about his
15:13
who made the decision to bury her
15:16
in the pool as grave and
15:18
actually they're actually ah records of burials
15:20
in that. Way. To pull the
15:22
graveyard was in is no record of her being
15:24
breezy. Because. She wasn't buried
15:26
there, they put her in a coffin or
15:29
rotten, just took it off to wherever they
15:31
took her body to get the skeleton out
15:33
of. It said the red could say
15:35
that she was buried in a little
15:37
boost coffin in a pool prescribe in
15:39
Hobart. What you believe
15:41
happened to her black eyes. She died.
15:43
I know. Exactly. What happened because he
15:45
taught says what happened this month was never
15:48
buried. We kept the skeleton out of her
15:50
body. So. After she died were
15:52
was her body most likely taken in
15:54
a. The to the building that they
15:56
had the museum in or disused part
15:58
of the hospital. There's plenty
16:01
of surgeons. including
16:03
the longstanding honorary secretary.
16:05
Of the Royal Society. she could do the
16:07
job. They. Was this one
16:09
thing about ordering the coffins? I think they
16:12
probably did put her in a coffee they
16:14
get out of the hospital but she never
16:16
went into the Grace. So.
16:19
This before suffocation of record. Cs Lewis
16:21
and she wants to have been buried
16:23
in wants to cove not even sooner
16:25
than she should have been, But. No.
16:28
A decision was made to make it
16:31
seem as as she was going to
16:33
be buried Nepal describe in Hobart nobody
16:35
really looks into pulled his grades after
16:37
all, that's what they are paupers. But
16:40
the interesting thing is, I've then began
16:42
to realize that every body that came
16:44
into the mold of the hospital and
16:47
wasn't claimed. Was. See a
16:49
game for surgeons to work on,
16:51
and every aboriginal body that had
16:54
come through that hospital had probably
16:56
suffered the same site. So.
16:58
Her body had been spirited
17:01
away by disorganization. The Royal
17:03
Society of Tasmania yet was
17:05
the Royal Society of Tasmania?
17:07
Cassandra? Well it was the first Royal
17:09
Society outside of Britain the first one.
17:11
It was very prestigious and everybody who's
17:13
anybody wanted to belong to. It's. Like
17:15
most burrow society been dedicated to scientific
17:18
endeavor and I researched same thing for
17:20
Tasmania. Though loyal and had
17:22
royal assent so they set up
17:24
this museum and began selling it
17:26
up with various things in. the
17:28
things I most wanted was aboriginal
17:30
remains. The fact that these reminds
17:33
of that he had been spirited
17:35
away her scuttling had been extradited
17:37
from her corpse by the Royal
17:39
Society of Tasmania. Would sing
17:41
a government seekers has at least
17:43
been away or even have perused
17:45
of this Clint decided. Quite a
17:47
legal product. Every ones is on
17:50
the council's the Royal Society has
17:52
nine. It was also a member
17:54
of a the the Legislative Council
17:56
older houses assembly in the new
17:58
Tasmanian Parliament's. The Premier was
18:01
certainly aware of that, because when
18:03
William Crowther found out about it,
18:05
he wrote this anguished lesser saying:
18:07
you let the Royal Society spirit
18:09
of body away and. Clans,
18:12
Stein Manner and you had promised
18:14
that body to me. And so
18:16
the next time a body came
18:18
out, the body of Billie Lanny
18:20
known as King Billie supposedly de
18:22
Los Tasmanian Miles. The same tussle
18:24
went on with the same state
18:27
premier. The. Royal Society wanted
18:29
his body willing crowd the one of his.
18:31
Body. So this this demand
18:33
completely isolated zoned for. Aboriginal
18:35
been deemed this is the eighteen sixties
18:37
were talking about it. Why
18:40
was this so much
18:43
fuss and under handedness
18:45
and clandestine activity? Around
18:48
the remains of an impoverished
18:50
aversion, a woman like Patty.
18:53
Peebles had been collecting the skeletal
18:55
remains of aboriginal people in Tasmania
18:58
from the moment that they landed
19:00
there. The moment they landed there,
19:02
Why them in particular? Because. They
19:04
were believed to be unique
19:06
race nine no way connected
19:08
to the people on the
19:10
mainland. A unique race that
19:12
was the most primitive people
19:14
non to humankind say believe
19:17
that they were. or they
19:19
made up stories that they
19:21
were. Below. Stone Age
19:23
men. So in terms of what
19:25
you wanted in your museum, the
19:27
most desirable object if you're trying
19:29
to make a case about why
19:31
we the British white male ends
19:33
up at the top of the
19:35
pile you want their bones to
19:37
say he is a unique race
19:40
of people. Still have you gone
19:42
about the silas same imagine what
19:44
people thought about as extinct race
19:46
of people that you could still
19:48
get your hands on. This
19:51
body snatching that's going on in hope that.
19:54
I'm always reminded of when you when you told
19:56
me about this of the body snatching tried that
19:58
was going on in England at the. The
20:00
famous resurrection, the symbolical rest huge demand
20:02
for for these for the ecologist of
20:04
anatomy in Britain and so that his
20:07
grave robbing that was done to produce
20:09
these cops as which led him in
20:11
inevitably to reservations murdering people to produce.
20:13
and so this was this something kind
20:16
of this was known at the time
20:18
was the only unsavory a bad into.
20:20
Seeing as a lot of on saving us
20:22
about it on one of the things that
20:25
William crowd against very upset about this the
20:27
accusation that he's a resurrection man. City
20:29
home and. Yes, He did
20:31
not think anybody a pile of the
20:33
brain is actually more know put it
20:35
is that right from the very beginning
20:37
colonial surgeons we're working on aboriginal bodies
20:40
to send the bonds back to England.
20:42
From the very beginning the first surgeon
20:44
he was an ankle state amount that
20:46
and after some aboriginal people were killed
20:48
in a for a very early on
20:50
in a scene of for he packed
20:52
their bones into highest cost and sent
20:54
them up to Sydney and I think
20:56
they ended up in the hands of
20:59
sir. Joseph Banks suggests of Bank says
21:01
in the Just Banks have voiced
21:03
breathe Captain James Cook on The
21:05
Endeavour. He was very interested in
21:07
collecting human remains. You.
21:10
Mentioned there that when that his body was
21:13
headed over to the Royal Society because I
21:15
knew there was this doctor, William Crowther in
21:17
her body was serious about it because he
21:19
wanted to for himself who was with him
21:21
Crowther and tell me where his interest came
21:24
from. Say. That outsider in the elite
21:26
society and it's really hard to work
21:28
out why? Because he comes from a
21:30
very prestigious family in England, but his
21:33
father was and right and a troublemaker
21:35
and he's that sort of passed on
21:37
to him and he says he's a
21:40
convenient. Scapegoat in some respects because.
21:42
He's never been part of the I late
21:44
in the same way that everybody else is.
21:47
Always a slot me unsavory background Iran so he
21:49
was an outsider and hot and I saw society
21:51
such as a more said that are interesting thing
21:53
with. For me is that he
21:55
was my ancestors business partner down
21:57
at voice to cause he had.
22:00
Infants at least cause he had whaling
22:02
ships. as a timber industry he had
22:04
fingers in many pies. the he employed
22:06
a number of the aboriginal men there
22:08
and so he drew the line at
22:10
kind of thing out the graves, but
22:13
it was commonplace the surgeons to take
22:15
the bodies as a date out of
22:17
the high but more his think there
22:19
was anything particular out about that and
22:21
also he knew that the premier had
22:23
already allowed the Royal Society do the
22:25
same thing when, so he didn't think
22:27
there was anything particularly odd about what.
22:30
He was doing. Or just so. the rules is the
22:32
prime. You can do this for the rules sort of Tasmania.
22:34
What's up I do it for me for. But why was
22:36
William Crowther. So. Keen on procuring
22:38
have the skills and who did he wanted
22:40
for. The Preeminent
22:42
Museum. For. These
22:45
kinds of scientific specimens was
22:47
the Royal College of Surgeons
22:49
in London, and the direct
22:51
of the Royal College of
22:53
Surgeons was so William Flower
22:55
resume Crowther had dessert quite
22:57
good relationship had he been
22:59
sending him while skeletons because
23:01
he had whaling ships. He
23:03
helped develop this correspondence about,
23:05
while the Mile skeletons and
23:07
then slyly Flower had insisted
23:10
in the middle of this
23:12
conversation about while skills and.
23:14
He wouldn't by any chance be
23:16
able to get me to aboriginal
23:18
skeletons male and female. And.
23:20
Went to grab the sight of that. Piece. Said
23:23
it shouldn't be too difficult to dig
23:25
them up from. Ways to cause. And
23:27
why did he say that? Because.
23:29
He knew that the Governor had
23:31
already been digging up the graves
23:33
of voice to cause to send
23:35
them to the Secretary of State,
23:37
the Duke of Newcastle to give.
23:39
To Oxford University. So Oxford
23:42
University wanted This remains as
23:44
well. And Cambridge and Cambridge.
23:46
But what was going to stand in the
23:48
why have him de gea up Graves at
23:50
Voice to cope with the local people get
23:53
a figure that. Well, there's it.
23:55
Some correspondents around that. In.
23:57
Which the superintendent rights to the
23:59
governor's. To say. We've. Gotta
24:01
be very secretive about is because
24:03
if it gets out they'll be
24:06
troubled. The local people believe that
24:08
desecrated. A graveyard is a grave sin. You
24:10
read that in a letter. Sick
24:13
will read a letter like that. We gotta be
24:15
very careful about how we get hold of these
24:18
bonds because it's so much leverage. More people find
24:20
out about the horror of not just the local
24:22
aboriginal people, the local people, the settlers as well
24:24
will be horrified. First.
24:26
Of the people who live here in
24:28
we terrible for them because you can't
24:30
interfere with their bodies after death and
24:32
the other one is in the local
24:34
people. The settlers who might be able
24:36
to help us dig them up will
24:38
be horrified to because I consider to
24:40
be desecrating a graveyard. So. They
24:42
knew absolutely new and what did to
24:45
me was it's early but my heart
24:47
because I thought John Dandridge who was
24:49
the superintendent was a good man. So
24:51
would empower the Doctor William Crowther. He wants
24:54
these bodies because get them from the burial
24:56
ground as or to cause for. He's made
24:58
this kind of lavish promise to his friend
25:00
Doctor William Flower in England. all yes I
25:03
can get hold of to aboriginal skeletons for
25:05
you. It's always planned be if he couldn't
25:07
get him out of the ground in west
25:10
Coast. Had. Them sent to the hospital had the
25:12
msi the hospital and then he get their bodies
25:14
out of the hospital morgue. Said in a playful
25:16
sake. A person who pulls at the point is we
25:18
must get them to the hospital vote. To flower
25:20
to say. He told the acting premier
25:22
who was a friend of his to bite
25:24
to oyster Cars and tell him that
25:26
if any of the old women cel six
25:29
I were to be put into the
25:31
hospital and then once they're in the hospital
25:33
l get the best intentions. For me, it's
25:35
especially after death. And
25:42
broadcasts. This
25:45
conversation. With
25:48
recent seidler. You
25:51
mention their that the University of Oxford.
25:54
In. The Uk was also
25:56
in on the scramble for
25:58
Tasmanian human remains. How had their
26:00
anatomy school reached out to far away Tasmania to
26:02
get hold of some of these through the Due
26:04
to. Newcastle, To probably had
26:07
was a patron but he was also
26:09
the six two sets of the colonies
26:11
and he had control over the dubner
26:13
of than dame is land who made
26:15
already removed from being the governor of
26:17
New Zealand's and the governor's anti muslim
26:19
was desperate to get back into his
26:21
good books so he just wrote a
26:23
letter and said. Can
26:26
you to to me it to
26:28
Tasmanian skulls male and female for
26:30
the. Oxford University and that?
26:32
It isn't it. It's and
26:35
this Governor of Tasmania Go
26:37
brown. He. Was able to supply these
26:39
two skulls. How the way to. Explore was that
26:41
two years of kind of trying to because
26:43
initially obviously although not seen the lead dandridge
26:46
the superintendent at least the cause said no
26:48
no no, you can interfere with the grads.
26:50
While there's still people living here, it would
26:52
be too shocking And so they try and
26:55
find out where with Grace would be on
26:57
Flinders Islands. I couldn't work out where they
26:59
were and they did get one stall I
27:02
thought might be aboriginal but the couldn't. Authenticate
27:04
it's so then slay. The only way to
27:06
get some was the Grays. The voice. To
27:09
Cause. And they did get them out of the
27:11
graceless to cause. And they sent them
27:13
to Oxford that they got five skulls
27:15
and so they had skulls in excess.
27:18
Ah that they kept in the down
27:20
the had in his office. For a
27:22
while and then the Royal Society Tasmania
27:24
work knew about this and eventually said
27:26
will they should be an Owl Museum
27:29
Skulls of evers Me the Tasmanian people
27:31
shut up in Paris surrounds same time
27:33
of the Museum of Natural History. actually
27:35
even earlier in the eighteen forties. Yeah,
27:38
What? We know about how that
27:40
happened, how the skulls my they
27:42
were trainer ships that came into
27:44
Hobart. Ah the couple's France, France
27:47
exploring expeditions. That came into Hobart
27:49
and got very friendly with or
27:51
the assistant colonial certain. A
27:53
man called bed said Dr. Bid
27:56
said who had been the produce.
27:58
I asked his clone your. The
28:00
region whom I think must have collected
28:02
dozens and dozens of aboriginal skulls and
28:04
other people's cars as well. By the
28:06
way, And. He had
28:08
this collection and every friendship that list
28:11
left with a collection of Tasmanian skulls.
28:13
The friendships was had these next solas
28:15
on board. I was very interested in
28:18
natural history but the others with skulls
28:20
that have been collected earlier and there
28:22
was another person who was collecting skulls
28:24
to who's also a famous. Australian
28:27
Tasmanian handle friend and famous.
28:29
That full of called Ronald see guns
28:31
and. A couple of the skulls
28:33
are identified as coming from him. One
28:36
of them sexy got his name
28:38
written across the skull. Ah, so
28:40
we know that they came from
28:42
these two people who were. Active.
28:45
In the establishment of what became
28:47
the Royal Society of Tasmania was
28:50
system little scientific Society established by
28:52
Lady Jane Franklin and these two
28:54
people bedford and gun were very
28:57
active in that. And. So
28:59
was more know ports father said service
29:01
try to. Been going for quite some
29:03
time. Is started with assists settlements
29:06
both it in the north and
29:08
in the south. They both shipped
29:10
out aboriginal remains within months. Off.
29:13
Or Settlement and they both ended up
29:15
in the hands of Joseph Banks who
29:17
is the driver of this. Try it.
29:21
I didn't. Sixty Nine. The. Man
29:23
known as the Team Billie William
29:25
Lenny the last so called see
29:27
blooded Tasmanian aboriginal man but he
29:29
stays to me a bit about
29:31
this man can believe. He's
29:35
the last survivor of a family
29:37
of people from the north West
29:39
of Tasmania who had been living
29:41
out. Alone. In
29:44
the wilderness long after everyone
29:46
else had been shipped off
29:48
to Flinders Island. and eventually
29:50
adolescent men and one adolescent
29:53
woman who. I think gone
29:55
off with some sealers because she's a first
29:57
person to be and up at on send
29:59
Us island and. In her family just
30:01
come out of the bush and say.
30:04
You. Know here's a guy of Bristol here. Is so
30:06
hes And they died of course almost immediately.
30:08
I mean because I just hadn't had any
30:10
contact with European diseases and they when they
30:13
got there they found all of their. Relatives
30:15
were dead and or the shocking. Store
30:17
it. And. So there's a couple of
30:20
survivors go to waste a cause and one
30:22
of them. Billie. Is sent
30:24
to the often. School supposedly to be
30:26
Christianized, an educated. And the
30:28
other to die at. The ones a
30:30
baby and the other one is that
30:33
part of an older sixteen year old
30:35
die at or suppose, but there's no
30:37
record, say, just not there. Anymore.
30:39
And so he's the survival of. Already.
30:43
Very. Traumatic situation reverse had thought it's
30:45
a good with how to be Mike
30:47
is why in the world. Well
30:50
he was some. A while.
30:52
I mean he. He's probably first started
30:54
wailing with William Crowther and then moved
30:56
on to another welling captain and he
30:58
was a very good while. us the
31:01
wailing community thought highly of him, but
31:03
he became an alcoholic. I think in
31:05
his late adolescence everybody had always cove
31:07
was an alcoholic say was this huge
31:10
trade and. Alcohol by the
31:12
been a would cut us in
31:14
the for employers my ancestor. Run
31:16
outlawed, right? Or I cycled, softening the
31:18
familiar. Story. In an Australian
31:21
History. And so he will.
31:23
He had a serious thing him problem
31:25
which really undermined his health and so
31:27
of when he was only in his
31:30
late thirties and he came back from
31:32
a long wailing voyage and very quickly.
31:35
Complained of thing ill and seems to
31:37
have died of some. Kind of
31:39
bacterial infection in his stomach and
31:41
where did he dies? He. Died in
31:43
a his the usual pod that he
31:45
stayed in when he came back from
31:48
white wailing trips and as soon as
31:50
he was dead William Crowther turned up
31:52
in the pub. How he knew we
31:54
don't know but said oh we must
31:56
take him to the hospital Now this
31:58
is interesting because if somebody done. The.
32:01
Undertaker is cold and the undertaker take
32:03
some and say don't go the hospital
32:06
in only people.in a hospital and up
32:08
in a hostile most but he was
32:10
already dead and they took him to
32:12
the hospital morgue. Now. Why would
32:14
they do that? Rothys already dead in
32:16
a already. Dead because I don't want him
32:18
to go into the crash ons. They want the
32:20
body. And what happened to his body wants it was
32:22
admitted to the movie. Well, there was a
32:24
tussle. letters flying back and forth about.
32:27
You know the world society demands that
32:29
because we've already got one skeleton, we
32:31
need his skeletons make appear as they
32:33
are arguments. And William, how the said
32:35
you promised me on you promised me
32:38
that I could. Had this for the
32:40
Royal College of Surgeons in London and
32:42
that's. Much more important, And
32:45
so the premier doesn't know quite which way to
32:47
jump so I think the best thing to do
32:49
is get him buried in the ground and then
32:51
when it's all over town with then the Royal
32:53
Society kinda exam that body and and and crowd
32:55
the can go down. So I. Suppose and get
32:57
somebody some. Down there fits crowd is not
33:00
prepared to this and so he goes
33:02
into the hospital that night cause he's
33:04
got access to the hospital. He's and
33:06
Henri surge in there with his son
33:08
and takes a hit. More.
33:10
Goalie season than that he cuts out and
33:12
hit takes the skulls and cuts out and
33:14
the head of one it is deceased. Patience.
33:17
And substitutes another skull inside the
33:19
skull of so that he can
33:21
be. Buried looking like is still
33:23
intact. Good got. These.
33:26
Are the links These people of puppets got sick
33:28
gets. Worse well that when this a
33:30
sound out the Royal Society are outraged
33:32
and so they go on into the
33:34
hospital and get of the director of
33:36
the hospital to cut off the hands.
33:39
And then they decide that we better go back and
33:42
get the as well. So.
33:44
By the time that there's
33:46
this huge big public. Parade.
33:49
For the burial of the
33:51
last Tasmanian Mail, he is
33:54
headless. handlers, foot less, That's.
33:57
How he was inserted. His.
34:00
Com it up so that you can't see the
34:02
hands and feet. and then he still got this
34:04
loose scala in his head so that when the
34:06
chief mourners who as a whaling ship captains is
34:08
pay for the funeral. Wanna. Look
34:10
at the body because they're suspicious. they're
34:12
only allowed it's quick glimpse and I
34:14
still think there's something wrong with it.
34:17
But. He gets buried in the next day.
34:19
People are walking through the graveyard and what
34:21
did I find that the skull lying on
34:24
the ground will? This is a skull of
34:26
the white man that they don't want. The
34:28
body has been taken out of the grave
34:30
and disappeared. Oh. My god
34:32
so they buried buried his body with
34:35
the psych skull inside of his head
34:37
It's hard and then what the great
34:39
was ransacked that the the only thing
34:41
that in what was the white man's
34:43
skull as I just us to discuss
34:45
it aside and was the republican rule
34:47
that was reports. And that's where
34:49
the interesting thing begins to happen. You
34:51
need to know that the members of
34:53
the Royal Society also members of the
34:55
government. There are also members of the
34:58
hospital board that it's a very incestuous.
35:00
World. And so they
35:02
want to protect their own and so they
35:04
going to a point the finger at the
35:06
one person who isn't in that group and
35:09
that's William Crowther. And so he gets the
35:11
blame for everything. And. That
35:13
stories all over the Mercury, which
35:15
of course goes on to be
35:17
the only newspaper in Southern Tasmania
35:20
and the archives of the new
35:22
Mercury have been a basic source.
35:24
For. Historians writing about this
35:26
and they think that's the story.
35:29
But. I discovered that that wasn't the
35:31
story tall. isn't that the that? Actually, it
35:33
was quite reasonably well known in Hobart at
35:36
the time that it was. The Royal Society
35:38
has taken the body of what was left
35:40
of the body. Because. I
35:42
keep writing letters to London asking
35:44
to get the skull back so
35:47
they can have a complete skeleton
35:49
because as the Mercury says, The
35:52
body of Philly Lanny as worthless
35:54
without the head, Worthless without
35:56
the his. What
36:00
can be done with got the Royal Society at that
36:02
point How would I what? What? What could they do
36:04
with a where they heard it in a box? I
36:07
just put the bones and a box and kept rising.
36:09
For years and years and years they kept
36:11
trying to the Royal Society's The Place in
36:13
London. Who didn't have it because
36:15
William quell the held on to the skull.
36:18
And. Eventually, his son sent it to
36:20
Edinburgh. But they
36:22
didn't know that and so that's that
36:24
was his sort of revenge against them.
36:26
He held onto it. Because.
36:28
Swim Flower didn't want the
36:30
skull because he already had
36:33
wait for it. about seventeen
36:35
Tasmanian skulls. He didn't want
36:37
a skull. He wanted a
36:39
full scale isaf. Swim
36:43
eighteen Seventy I It's. The. Rules:
36:45
The Saudi Tasmania were able to procure. For.
36:47
Going to Nice skills and person like you said.
36:50
But. Modern all ports. The lawyer here the
36:52
center of the stride was to did to
36:54
enjoy strong because in died at the relatively
36:57
young age of forty eight. What?
36:59
Was said about modern or force. Well,
37:01
the mercury went on about how significant
37:03
he wasn't, how he had all these
37:06
little booze, a cellos, the Royal Society,
37:08
a solo of the Royal College of
37:10
Surgeons, a sell out of the An
37:12
Anthropological Societies Othello as a as a
37:15
Logical Society Othello, The Road Geographic Society
37:17
got all of these solicit. Some sending.
37:20
Them and remains of course. But
37:22
there was another weekly news paper didn't
37:25
last very long. kind of putting a
37:27
different spin on it and the spin
37:29
on it they put with said he
37:31
was a resurrection us he basically what
37:33
they that the what they actually said
37:35
about him was in the case of
37:38
Billie Lanny. the saddle was never put
37:40
on the ride horse and it is
37:42
to a member of the bar namely
37:44
a lawyer rather than a member of
37:46
the medical profession that serve. A
37:49
headless. Corpse. Of William
37:51
Lenny. Belongs to belonged.
37:54
So basically what they were saying and
37:56
that kind of convoluted nineteenth century way
37:58
was. That. More.
38:00
Know port had been a person who'd taken
38:02
William and. His body out of the grace and
38:04
I've Sara Lee believe that to be the case.
38:07
So. This is not wondered. Several conspiracies
38:09
to steal these skeletal remains and
38:11
sorry them Out of Tasmania and
38:13
the families involved, the Governor's involved
38:15
senior medical figures are involved or
38:17
the seeing a scientific figures are
38:19
involved. I'm a senior and respectable
38:21
people in the colony of Tasmania
38:23
and the i think seventies at
38:25
deeply implicated in what is by
38:27
the centers of their own time.
38:30
Criminal. Activity he isn't in
38:32
the removal of of these bonds.
38:34
And and it's immoral, You
38:36
know, by Christian teaching, so it
38:38
isn't just illegally see moral. It's
38:41
not that hard. Some of the want to stand
38:43
what's motivating these people. this greed and ambition that
38:46
they are. That's that's the is that. What?
38:48
Else is there? Whatever. When when they
38:50
you admit which other what's animating themselves
38:53
if is it some kind of spurious
38:55
senses scientific inquiry? What is it? What?
38:57
What? What That they used to justify
39:00
this ghastly bite? You
39:02
seem right. It's of the law stocks. The
39:04
answer as well. They does. I.
39:06
Mean. The. Spinoff from that
39:08
whole idea of just the thrill
39:11
of the talents of findings have
39:13
seen that. The. World Most. Won't
39:15
Are you going of a collector's mania? So
39:19
the people in says they as as far as
39:21
I can see have no real. So.
39:24
Scientists interest in his. It's the thrill
39:26
of getting the soul of finding out
39:28
and getting. It so was the much
39:30
scientific inquiry will have whatever nights here.
39:32
Who is even those kind of based
39:34
on pseudoscience into these remains was the
39:37
reverse. much estate. Measured the skulls in
39:39
the nineteenth centuries as a vast amounts of
39:41
Scotland measuring dying Aunts but that didn't lead
39:43
them They saw because the told him that
39:45
the skulls of. This. Terribly
39:47
primitive race of people supposedly from Tasmania
39:50
with the same. As the skulls people
39:52
in the current England and that wasn't very
39:54
helpful to our got so there were ended
39:56
up submit the runway like the frame of
39:58
say find case was designed and. Resigns
40:00
So then I see it hit upon a
40:02
better way of proving how it primitives I
40:05
work which was shipped. Rocks. You know,
40:07
these poor people, they could only
40:09
used as tools. chipped rocks, And
40:11
they shipped tons and tons and
40:13
tons and tons of rocks out
40:15
of Tasmania. and there's still in
40:17
museums all around the world. These
40:20
chipped. Rocks that show how primitive.
40:22
Tasmanian people were south. This all kinds
40:24
of reasons that you can put forward
40:27
as to why was it so important?
40:30
To have these people who was
40:32
so primitive that they were more
40:34
primitive than the earliest form of
40:37
Paleolithic. man? What? It really suited
40:39
the British, because then you couldn't
40:41
be accused of genocide. Could to?
40:43
I mean they would just not capable of
40:45
living in the modern world of a festive
40:48
land, that a treaty or anything like that.
40:50
I mean says that the that you know
40:52
the g word as never supposed to be
40:54
applied. In this in this situation. I
40:56
apply it, but I can't see any other
40:59
way to read it actually. So.
41:01
We've been talking about all these reminds and skulls
41:03
being. Carried. Off to. Museums.
41:06
In Oxford, in Paris, they're more in
41:08
Brussels and other places all over the
41:10
world. Of as to where. Well,
41:13
Michael Mann soul starting in
41:15
the late nineteen seventies and
41:17
right through to the early
41:19
two thousand and spearheaded the
41:21
most amazing consistent. You know
41:23
what Michael's like Consistent demands
41:25
to have a aboriginal ancestral
41:27
remains return to Tasmania and
41:29
they would the first of
41:31
the indigenous remains returns in
41:33
the world and so he's
41:35
to keep it off the
41:37
whole repatriation movement and so
41:39
most still have It was
41:41
returned but some. All it
41:43
was. Not. Return for reasons that
41:46
they might say oh, we didn't know We
41:48
have it. That's. Oxford. A lot
41:50
we refuse returner. That's Cambridge.
41:52
five at Cambridge, three at
41:54
Oxford. and there are still
41:56
refused to return the stuff.
41:58
All you know was much more. It was much
42:01
more secure not in the museum and
42:03
besides for a long time the argument
42:05
was that these people are all extinct.
42:07
They don't have any descendants. Who? Who
42:09
who cares about what a in. Of
42:11
a with that waited to see to not the
42:13
man was I a bad sign Mumbo jumbo and
42:15
what have you it's really and of what so
42:17
what have I have a have a ready to
42:19
return at that. I ah but there are
42:22
now huge hurdles that has to be
42:24
jump through because the lawyers are involved.
42:26
A nice and they say has to
42:28
be returned to the people who can
42:30
prove that they are their ancestors. Now
42:32
this is a much bigger issue for
42:35
people in other parts of Australia with
42:37
are also a huge amounts of remains
42:39
still to be repatriated. It's because least
42:41
in Tasmania they were pretty clear about
42:43
who these people world. But in.
42:46
South Australia or the non taxing
42:48
West Australian queens. As there was
42:50
just in a free for all
42:52
and so museums in Australia. enough
42:54
filling up with repatriated human remains
42:56
that they don't know what to
42:58
do with. This. Is
43:00
a real terrible source of exotic
43:02
spices. Been on I feel awkward.
43:04
About talking about it but then I'm
43:06
I had been encouraged by first nations
43:09
lead us to talk about A because
43:11
it's it's about says telling you know
43:13
we gotta complain about this stuff. I
43:15
like it is I'm it is very
43:17
shocking and it's is. Very. Traumatized Adam
43:19
in the story I'm in the fact that
43:22
this reminds have yet to be answered the
43:24
phone auto properly and served us well. The
43:26
thing is, it's important for them to be entered.
43:29
In. The country. And. So
43:31
is a huge business to
43:33
establish what back country might
43:36
be. Just
43:38
take the museum. A South Australia has
43:40
one one case in points of got
43:42
thousands and thousands of bonds in there
43:44
that they are trying to work out
43:47
that had repatriate. We're.
43:49
Talking. Very. Early on about
43:51
Tiger Many Hoops biography road. And.
43:54
How of just before she died while she
43:56
was and about going across the don't focused
43:58
on. Process. It
44:00
had. Pleaded. With.
44:03
Someone. To have her remains in
44:05
third and right in the middle of that. Channel.
44:09
What did become of her remains they. Were
44:11
cremated which is the traditional way of
44:13
dealing with the dead and amongst her
44:15
people and scattered at the very deepest
44:17
part of the don't a cast so
44:19
channel. It was a big struggle to
44:22
get to that point. I
44:24
think you said after she died the
44:26
remains were interred in a prison. Then
44:28
she was exhumed and her skull from
44:30
was put on display in the museum
44:32
in in Hobart. And then the son
44:35
of them minister who had written in
44:37
his diary what she had said to
44:39
him. Started a
44:41
campaign to have had taken off display
44:43
to have her wishes. And
44:46
he had to that he he's
44:48
been his father's dying wish, the
44:51
dragon and a be buried as
44:53
he had requested and that campaign
44:55
went on well into the Nineteen
44:57
fifties and then air through the
45:00
Nineteen sixties and the museum eventually
45:02
was taken to Ah, They
45:04
went to court to defend their right
45:07
to hold onto the meatball. Those I
45:09
didn't supposedly did not have it on
45:11
public display until the a Labour government
45:13
under Douglas past and act of parliament
45:15
to just Caesar salad sense and then
45:18
there was a big to do about.
45:20
oh this is such a rare an
45:22
important things that we cut from made
45:24
the body and again Michael Mansell, a
45:26
members of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community said
45:29
no no no no that's the traditional
45:31
way to deal her body nice to
45:33
date burnt so she. Can. Rejoin
45:35
her ancestors and she needs to be
45:37
basis per remains scattered on the don't.
45:40
A cast hotel on eventually They
45:42
Were is a hundred years after
45:44
she died in Nineteen Seventy Six.
45:48
The Royal Society because when you're still
45:50
institution that still going to die at
45:52
they've been I archive with acknowledging the
45:54
darkest real I have been very good
45:56
about it's very good about it's I
45:58
have made a very. Public and
46:00
heartfelt apology and they have really
46:03
turn the organization around. The night
46:05
invited me to talk about this
46:07
at the annual Last Annual General
46:09
Meeting and I was very. Impressed
46:12
with the responses that I got to start
46:14
to Australia's want to know about this. Do
46:16
was friend is really want to know that
46:18
the quite recent unpleasantness in her come back
46:21
to hundred and twenty five years or. Ah,
46:24
probably a lot of people
46:26
died but my you know
46:28
I adhere to the play
46:30
offs the first nations this
46:32
country To start telling the
46:34
truth. if we are going
46:36
to move forward, we do
46:38
need to understand where we
46:40
come from. We do need
46:42
to understand that we live
46:44
in this size glorious place
46:46
which really ranks among the
46:48
highest standards of living in
46:50
the world. And. Certainly
46:53
probably the safest. Because.
46:56
Of what we did to the first
46:58
people of this. Nation: And.
47:00
We are the benefits. Resolves a
47:03
shocking, shocking colonial story.
47:06
And we really have to stop. Putting.
47:08
Up The Colonial Narrative.
47:12
Because. It's painful to our
47:14
first nations people that we keep
47:16
telling these fairy stories about what
47:19
happened to them, that how we
47:21
harvested their bodies, about how we
47:24
committed terrible atrocities, Against them. Incessant
