I'm not sure how it's possible for the Day of Mourning to have commemorated 'Theft and Genocide' in 1938 when the word genocide did not exist until 1943, according to wikipedia, or 1944, according to the OED. It might commemorate that now, and have done so since soon after WW2, when the term was widely propogated, but as it is, the first sentence of this article makes little sense.
Oh and to be clear, I'm not denying that what happened should be described as genocide, I'm just saying that it's ahistorical to say that that's what the protest was about in 1938. Maussauce 22:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)maussauce
