Seventeen years later, he was a warrior fighting for Country west of Sydney, hunted by white colonists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExiled, in Van Diemen's Land he joined with local Aboriginal people as they began the resistance that ignited the colonists' Black War. Wrongly accused of being the ringleader, he was executed in 1825. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusquito is one of the better known First Nations resistance fighters but even while he was alive, his story was shrouded in misinformation and myth. Historian Naomi Parry Duncan has uncovered the real story of this remarkable man. Searching the archives for evidence, she realised the lives of convicts in her family tree intersected with Musquito in disturbing ways. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Kangaroo Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44275324649560,"sku":"9781761067891","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/8343\/1000\/files\/9781761067891_1.jpg?v=1782369956","url":"https:\/\/redkangaroobooks.au\/products\/musquito-by-naomi-parry-duncan","provider":"Red Kangaroo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
