RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The archaeological evidence both from excavated
sites and field survey suggests a significant division
in the prehistoric economic organisation of the Tasmanian
Aborigines of the East and West/North
West habitats of the island. A nomadic organisation
is interpreted for the Eastern sites, and a
semi-sedentary or seasonally-sedentary organisation
for the West and North-West coastal sites.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
