Mannalargenna

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mannalargenna (ca. 1770-1835), a Tasmanian Aborigine, was the chief of the Ben Lomond tribe (Plangermaireener).

As leader of the Plangermaireener, he organized guerrilla attacks against British soldiers in Tasmania during the period known as the Black War. Manalargena had been captured by George Augustus Robinson and accompanied him, along with Truganini on his "friendly mission" to move the remaining Aboriginal population to Flinders Island. He died at Wybalenna in 1835.
