[edit] Massacre

At the time of British settlement in 1829, the leader of the Pindjarup was Calyute, who sought to prevent his people from starvation by leading a famous but peaceful raid upon Shenton's Mill in South Perth, taking many bags of flour, which was highly prized by his people

In stating that it was a raid, this implies millitary force. Perhaps this needs to be reworded (I cannot see how a raid could be conducted peacefully).Garrie 06:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Events after 1834 - miscegenation

To be honest I can work out from the context what I think this word means. It seems to be fairly obscure. Could the sentence be reworded using less obscure language? Garrie 21:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
