Description
Several French maritime expeditions visited Western Australian shores in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, surveying our coastlines and documenting our natural history. These French expeditions observed and interacted with Aboriginal people and their cultures, particularly around Shark Bay and King Georges Sound.
Join Shino Konishi as she discusses some of the cross-cultural encounters and the important ongoing legacy of these early descriptions and illustrations of Aboriginal people and cultural practices.
