@archeohistories They say that she died in 1831 before photography came to Australia…so who is the person in the photo…?

In 1820s, the island of Tasmania—then called Van Diemen’s Land—was the site of violent conflict between British colonists and the island’s Aboriginal peoples. Settlers expanded farms and grazing land, often through force. Aboriginal communities were driven from their territories, attacked, and displaced.
In this brutal environment, one woman emerged as a resistance leader: Tarenorerer.
She was a young Aboriginal woman from north-west Tasmania. As colonial violence intensified during what is now known as the Black War, she adapted in ways that surprised and alarmed British authorities. Unlike many Indigenous fighters who relied on traditional weapons, Tarenorerer learned to use a musket—likely taken from settlers or soldiers.
She did not simply use firearms herself. She trained others.
According to historical accounts, she organized small groups and taught them how to handle guns effectively. She studied settler routines, patrol movements, and supply routes. Instead of direct confrontation, her forces used mobility and knowledge of the land to launch sudden raids on isolated farms. Livestock were seized, buildings burned, and supplies taken.
British colonists were shaken. They had expected scattered resistance. Instead, they faced coordinated attacks.
Colonial records from the mid-1820s describe her as dangerous and highly capable. A reward was reportedly offered for her capture. Her leadership challenged two colonial assumptions at once: that Aboriginal resistance was disorganized and that women would not lead military action.
For the British, this was deeply unsettling. For Aboriginal communities under threat, it was a strategy for survival.
The Black War (roughly 1820–1832) was not a minor frontier disturbance. It was a sustained and violent conflict that dramatically reduced the Aboriginal population of Tasmania through killings, forced removals, and disease. In response to Aboriginal resistance, colonial authorities organized large military operations, including the 1830 “Black Line,” an attempt to sweep the island and capture remaining Indigenous people.
Tarenorerer’s campaign took place within this larger struggle.
Eventually, she was captured—not in open battle, but through pursuit and colonial control measures. Like many other Tasmanian Aboriginal people, she was removed to Flinders Island as part of the British relocation policy. The government claimed it was for protection. In reality, it isolated survivors from their land, culture, and resources.
On Flinders Island, conditions were harsh. Disease and despair spread quickly among the relocated communities. Tarenorerer died there in 1831.
She was still young.
For decades, her story was recorded only in colonial documents, often distorted or minimized. But modern historians and Aboriginal communities have reclaimed her legacy. Today, she is recognized as one of the most significant leaders of Aboriginal resistance in Tasmania.
Her actions show that Indigenous resistance was organized, strategic, and determined. They also challenge stereotypes about gender roles in early colonial history. Tarenorerer was not a passive figure in a story of conquest. She was a commander who adapted to new weapons, trained others, and used strategy against a global empire.
The British Empire described her as a threat. From another perspective, she was defending her homeland.
Her life reflects a larger truth about the Black War: Aboriginal Tasmanians did not disappear quietly. They resisted, adapted, and fought to survive.
Tarenorerer’s story is no longer a footnote. It is part of the history of Australia—a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming force, resistance was real, organized, and often led by those colonial powers least expected.

@joeroganhq Overview
Cameras were protected during nuclear blasts by being housed in lead-lined steel boxes, placed in hardened bunkers or towers, positioned at strategic distances from ground zero, and sometimes shielded with extra glass or Plexiglas. You think it was faked…🙄

@EricSpracklen So you’re suggesting some sort of conspiracy here…if you are…then you’re a fucking drongo…

@joeroganhq How does he know what Joe Rogan does if he has never listened. More ABC propaganda…🙄
English

Australian Broadcasting Corporation boss Kim Williams: "People like Mr. Rogan prey on people's vulnerabilities. They prey on fear. They prey on anxiety... I personally find it deeply repulsive, and to think that someone has such remarkable power in the United States is something that I look at in disbelief."

@Matt_Camenzuli You honestly haven’t got a brain that can look at the facts and realise the damage you are doing to Australia. Net zero is a meaningless term, you could close down Australia tomorrow and it will have no effect on the future climate…so what you are doing is pointless…think…

@maniaUFO Doesn’t look anything like the luna surface in video I’ve seen of the actual landing…just more bullshit…🙄

@TruthFairy131 Shouldn’t he be standing there naked, instead of wearing “white man” clothing…not conforming means he should be deported…🤔

🔥 BREAKING 🔥
The Anti-White, Black supremist, radical activist Bruce Shillingsworth has a plan to deport all White British Australians from Australia because they have not conformed to Aboriginal cultural norms, rules & regulations.
Meanwhile, other Aboriginals have turned against him after he told the Aboriginal men with mental health issues to take their own lives, he said he’d even supply the rope.
Take your little Lore car & get back in the long grass Bruce 😵💫

In case you’re wondering what Kamala Harris is doing, she’s losing her mind over President Trump’s new ballroom and the suspension of SNAP benefits:
“Are you f*cking kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now.”
“I'm not going to be distracted by, oh, does the guy have a big f*cking hammer? What about those babies?”

@RepJasmine That’s not what she said…as far as the White House is concerned, the ball room is his main priority…you lying piece of shit…🤨

@BGatesIsaPyscho The only thing I see is that you are an uneducated buffoon…
