For this special episode of Race Matters, we are joined by Boe Spearim from Frontier War Stories, Gamilaraay and Kooma activisit and Dad who has been archiving so called Australiaʼs first wars since 2020. Frontier War Stories is a podcast that details across the continent, the wars waged by the colonising British, the massacres and horific dehumanisation that was used as a strategy of genocide by the settling empire and the profoundly dedicated resistance held by Aboriginal warriors.

Joined by King, a Ghanian/Wiradjuri creative and newest member of the RM team, these episode dives deeper into the lore of Pemuwluy and Dundali. Pemulwuy, being the first resistance fighter against the colony, organising and leading mob to retaliate against the genocidal regime. Dundali, being the last publicly hung warrior, a symbol of the colonisers to others considering resistance.

Over a weekend that memorialises one version of history that seemingly erases the Truth about what happened on this land, this episode reminds us of the ways colonising nation states utilise propaganda and dehumanise resistance.

With a special thanks to Clothing the Gap for sponsoring this episode. We are so grateful to be joined by Boe as we attempt to subvert the revisionist history of so called Australia.
