Stapleton Siding massacre
The Stapleton Siding massacre was a massacre of Aboriginal Australians at Stapleton, Northern Territory, Australia. The massacre, which was committed by supplying poisoned damper that likely contained weed-killer, killed approximately 80 Kungarakany and Warray people.
One of the most notable survivors of the massacre was the Aboriginal elder Alngindabu, who was then a child. A description of the massacre was passed down by Kungarakany elders, including Alngindabu to her son, Aboriginal political activist Joe McGinness.
