[edit] Please note

This list has been removed from Aboriginal history of Western Australia - and certain elements of this list will be removed from this list and retained in the original article. In effect in process - thanks for your co-operation SatuSuro 02:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Assertions

Each line/entry has an assertion, many that are not backed up by a citation - over time every uncited assertion needs to be removed due to the nature of the argument that comes from a timeline like this.

The local detail in some entries would be more suitable elsewhere - and have little if any relevance to an understanding of the broader scale of aboriginal history of western australia - perhaps there is a need for some of the grouping articles (such as nyungar) to absorb otherwise over-detailed information from this list. Encounters between explorers and aboriginals - if adequately explained beyond jones met the local aborignals possibly belong in a separate article again - Explorer-aboriginal relations in Western Ausralia rather than here SatuSuro 06:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
