Known to his saviours as 'Murrangurk', Buckley learnt their language and forgot his own. He lived as they did and would later record invaluably his understanding of their customs and traditions. When eventually Europeans returned and conflict between them and the First People flared, Buckley was at the heart of the tumult. He tried to mediate and courageously stopped three massacres, but soon found himself disregarded by the antagonists and dangerously compromised. 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xSocial life and customs 606 $aHistory - Biographies - Non-Indigenous$2aiatsiss 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xSocial life and customs. 615 7$aHistory - Biographies - Non-Indigenous. 676 $a301.2994 700 $aLarkins$b Robert$01556491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910777098303321 996 $aThe personal history of William Buckley$93819202 997 $aUNINA
