summarise what they found, after researching and investigating the colonial frontier massacres.

New evidence has revealed the true extent of violent frontier massacres of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. University of Newcastle research now estimates more than 10,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lives were lost in 414 massacres.
