Quigley Down Under (1990): Not Just a Western

The 1990 film Quigley Down Under is a movie of many colours. It is not just a western. It is not just a r0mance. Or an adventure of a stranger in a strange land, or about racial inequality.

THE YURU PEOPLE, Who are they? (1176)

The short answer, an aboriginal people of Australia. The more restrictive reply is that the Juru people, also known as Yuru, are a group of Aboriginal people of the state of Queensland, Australia. Wikipedia

Some history, however, my focus is on the  genocide of Indigenous Australians, that is, the systematic and deliberate actions taken primarily by European colonisers and their descendants, particularly during the 18th to the 20th centuries, aimed at eradicating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, languages, and people. Motivations for the genocide varied, and included motivations aimed at preserving a "white Australia", or assimilating Indigenous populations "for their own good".

The genocide of Indigenous Australians includes mass killings during the frontier wars, forced removals of children (now known as the Stolen Generations), and policies of forced assimilation by the Australian Government that sought to extinguish Indigenous Australian identity and cultural practices.
