Jandamarra's War is the story of an Aboriginal warrior who led one of the most effective rebellions in the history of indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization. In 1894, Jandamarra led a rebellion against invading pastoralists in defence of his people's ancient land and culture. Until his death in brutal retribution, this formidable Bunuba warrior waged a 3-year guerilla war, earning him both the admiration of his people and international notoriety.
