'This is a powerful and passionate exploration of cross-cultural
history, and it is also an intriguing detective story. Taylor
skilfully interweaves experience and memory, narrative and genealogy,
politics and place so that this island saga becomes a history of the
national psyche.' – Tom Griffiths, Australian National University

This is a story of history and memory, and how Aboriginality became
invisible within one isolated community. In the early nineteenth
century sealers kidnapped Tasmanian Aboriginal women to work and live
with them on Kangaroo Island. Together they established farms and had
children but within a few generations the land was lost and almost
none of their descendants knew of their Tasmanian Aboriginal ancestry.
Today they are unearthing their lost history.
In 1836 the South Australian Company arrived to establish a new
province. Many of the first Islanders were displaced as a farming
community grew. But until the late 1870s, three Tasmanian Aboriginal
women – Sal, Suke and Betty – remained. They continued to live
traditionally, clearing the land with fire and hunting with dogs. All
three women outlived Trukanini. Betty's descendants still live on
Kangaroo Island, but have only recently discovered their ancestry.

The White Australia policy comprises various historical policies that
intentionally restricted "non-white" immigration to Australia from
1901 to 1973. The end of the White Australia policy came in 1975.
The chief architect of the policy, Alfred Deakin, believed that the
Japanese and Chinese[1] might be a threat to the newly formed
federation and it was this belief that led to legislation to ensure
they would be kept out:
"It is not the bad qualities, but the good qualities of these alien
races that make them so dangerous to us. It is their inexhaustible
energy, their power of applying themselves to new tasks, their
endurance and low standard of living that make them such
competitors." [2] The inauguration of White Australia as government
policy is generally taken to be the passage of the Immigration
Restriction Act in 1901
