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..
