Damn! This isn't ancient history-its not even a 100 yr old story. Those who saw them in the early 60s are still around-but WTF are these little nikkas!?
"In 1962, the first volume of Manning Clark’s History of Australia recorded their presence on its first two pages and repeated the then influential anthropological theory about their origins and their place in the waves of migration of hunter-gatherer peoples from Asia who populated the Australian continent in the millennia before the British arrived in 1788."

At the time there were at least a few hundred in Queensland. To the best of my knowledge there was no known gold/oil/uranium/diamonds or natural resources that would make Cacs reveal their Caccery.
Now,they're all gone-vanished like the Tasmanians,though the latter are at least remembered in history books.
"What, then, has been going on? Why would these people have been expunged from popular memory? How did the Australian pygmies become extinct within the public consciousness?"
Truly the depth of displacement,dispossession and death inflicted upon the Black Family is wayyyy deeper than even the woke know.
