Truganini (c. 1812 – 8 May 1876), also known as Lalla Rookh and Lydgugee, was widely described as the last of the "full-blooded" Aboriginal Tasmanians after British colonisation and one of the last speakers of the Tasmanian languages. As a teenager with limited options during the Black War, in which her mother was stabbed to death, her uncle was shot, and she was raped, Truganini became a guide to George Augustus Robinson in expeditions to capture and forcibly exile the remaining Indigenous Tasmanians. Truganini was later taken to the Port Phillip District where she engaged in armed resistance against the colonists. Read more on Wikipedia
