Blackbird BeforeTime

Blackbird Before Time has been set up to share interesting, enlightening and sometimes shocking stories from our collection.This information has been imperative in my search to find out more about Blackbirding and recruiting of Indigenous peoples of the South Pacific mainly to Australia, my family, the ships, pirates, politicians, Missionaries, Blackbirders, the villages, the battles, the love affairs, the places, and the islands that make up a vital part of history.. Before Time..

I was recently asked to share a story about "What this year means to me" I chose to talk about the struggles, strength, resilience and success of the generations of Australian South Sea Islander Women. These are some of the women I chose to honour..there are so many more out there..so through this story I hope to honour you all!! The Women of the Blackbirding Trade!! Thank you!!
