      I think they’re one of the few indigenous populations that got a written treaty with the British because they just kept killing the British

          If the Union Jack sails to your shores, prepare for war, because violence is the only language they speak.

          Incidentally, I lived on Wiradjuri land in Australia before I moved back to China. The warrior Windradyne earned (begrudging) respect from the British, and even got a eulogy in the newspapers in Sydney, because he died fighting settlers with his men. Even settler accounts stated he died wrapped in his cloak with weapons in hand. He and Pemulwuy are the only indigenous people to be honoured in the Sydney parliament house and they both happen to be warriors who died fighting the British.

        Sorry sweaty dont you know the only path to treaty is by having a statement from the heart followed by a voice (???) then maybe a truth telling (??? or should that be the other way around???) then a plebiscite (or a referendum???) about the Voice then the other one of the two. But actually none of them and definitely no treaty.
