The Forgotten Island Clan Untouched for millennia, Australia remains a sanctuary for some of the world's oldest and most captivating cultures: those of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Yet, by the close of the 18th century, colonization swiftly obliterated ancient lifestyles, shattering traditions and plunging entire communities into conflict, decay, and desolation. Even more tragic was the fate of a vast, isolated island to the south of the expansive continent: the utter annihilation of its original inhabitants. Tasmania serves as the dramatic backdrop for the prehistoric series 'The Forgotten Island Clan'. This narrative envisions the establishment and endurance of a fictional clan across numerous eras, both before and after Tasmania's detachment from the mainland. Amidst climatic and demographic shifts, each installment unveils Aboriginal customs, myths, beliefs, and sagacity, narrated through the exploits of clan members confronting novel challenges. Indeed, the Traditional Owners of the ancestral lands of the southern island, Trowenna, have over time cultivated rituals, relics, and a profoundly rich culture whose intricacy and enigma we're just beginning to glimpse. How did the forebears visualize the world's inception and successfully preserve their age-old traditions? Which strategies did they craft to sustain their existence, distant from what's known as 'civilization'? What insights can this remarkable legacy offer, especially as contemporary Australians rediscover and celebrate it? The series 'The Forgotten Island Clan' seeks to furnish credible responses, fortified by the authors' research and creativity.
