peer agreement (net): +1Mine and yours Explanation: It's about teaching them that what white settlers claim as theirs ("what's mine") is no longer available to the Aborigines: "what's thine" [yours] is what's left, whatever the settlers haven't yet appropriated. The "teaching" process often involved violence and destruction. |
