"The left-hand side of the painting shows the Aborigines doing a corroboree and singing and dancing and showing their great hunting skills.
In the right hand side of the painting it shows the soldiers escorting the tribesmen as they were chained up like dogs away from their homes to be locked up in prison and some of them died in these rat holes.
The middle of the painting shows men, women and children being killed because they placed their trust in the strangers but the strangers like a snake blinded them with false promises and false hopes.
Today these betrayals are still happening but there are some politicians who are trying to give some of the land back to us. Aborigines today are too knowledgeable to be tricked again."
