                 &lt;p&gt;In 1831 British colonists offered the Tasmanian Aboriginal people protection and freedom if they agreed to temporarily go to a place they called Wybalenna on Flinders Island in Bass Strait. That promise was never kept and most perished, lying today in unmarked graves. Now a project is underway to tell the stories of the people who strived to maintain their culture in that isolated place. It’s a crucial part of a truth-telling process that Aboriginal people hope will culminate in a treaty, nearly two hundred years later. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guests: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rebecca Digney, Manager, Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Greg Lehman, Professorial Fellow, Indigenous Research and UNESCO Chair on Communication, Environment and Heritage at the University of Tasmania. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
