By the time the claim of direct descent from those who saw Cook arrive in 1770 was being made public by local Aboriginal people, which, according to archival traces, was in the late nineteenth century (although this was not necessarily when the claim originated), Captain Cook had become the focus for more visible commemoration at Botany Bay, in part because he had begun to achieve national forefather status (discussed in detail in Chapter 3). Local Aboriginal people’s status in the national story and in the national community was, in contrast, peripheral and precarious.
They reject historical representations that overlook, or play down, an Aboriginal presence at Botany Bay in the period between the late eighteenth century and the late nineteenth century. And they seek to challenge accounts that the Aboriginal settlement was almost completely the product of a shift in government practice, or which mistakenly conflate the camp’s origins with the removal of Aborigines from Sydney.
