EDITORS COMMENTS
Truganini, also known as Truganina, Trugernanner, Lalla Rooke, or Lala Rookh, was the last surviving Tasmanian Aboriginal woman. Born around 1812, she was a member of the Palawa people, the original inhabitants of Tasmania. This poignant portrait captures Truganini in her later years, around 1866. Her face bears the weight of a lifetime of hardship and loss. The Palawa people were decimated by disease, war, and dispossession. By the time this photograph was taken, Truganini was the last living link to a rich and complex culture that had once thrived in Tasmania. Her people had been driven to extinction, and she was left to mourn their loss. Truganini's story is a tragic reminder of the devastating impact of European colonization on Indigenous peoples. She was taken from her family as a child and held captive in a mission school. Later, she was used as a tourist attraction, paraded around Europe as a 'last savage' or 'last Aboriginal.' Despite these hardships, Truganini remained strong and resilient. She continued to speak her language and pass on her culture to those who would listen. Her legacy is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Palawa people and the importance of preserving Indigenous cultures. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the complex history of Tasmania and the Indigenous peoples who once called it home. It invites us to reflect on the past, learn from it, and work towards a more just and equitable future for all.
