  • Aboriginal and Maori tribes

  • Gundungurra and Dharawal tribes

  • Zulu and Xhosa tribes

  • Aztec and Inca tribes

Answer

The Appin Massacre was an attack by European settlers on the Gundungurra and Dharawal tribes in 1816. The attack was sparked by a series of skirmishes between the two groups, and resulted in the deaths of at least 18 Aboriginal people. The massacre was one of many violent conflicts between settlers and Aboriginal people in the early days of British colonisation of Australia.
