South Sea Islanders from New Hebrides on board the ship 'Malakula'

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Australian South Sea Islander community played a significant role in the development of Australia’s sugar and cotton industries. Between 1863 and 1904, an estimated 55,000 to 62,500 Islanders were brought to Australia to labor on sugar cane and cotton farms in Queensland and northern New South Wales. [1] These laborers were called ‘Kanakas’ (a Hawaiian word meaning ‘man’) and their recruitment often involved forced removal from their homes. This practice of kidnapping labor was known as ‘blackbirding’ (‘blackbird’ was another word for slave). They came from more than 80 Pacific Islands, including Vanuatu (then called the ‘New Hebrides’) and the Solomon Islands, and to a lesser extent, from New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Kiribati, and Tuvalu. Most were young men and boys aged from 9 to 30 years. There were relatively few women and girls. [2] Source: humanrights.gov.au/our-work/race-discrimination/publicati...
