Tarenorerer

Tarenorerer, also known as Walyer, Montserrat, Tuculillo, or Walloa, was a rebel leader of the Aboriginal Tasmanians. Between 1828 and 1830, she led a guerrilla band of indigenous people of both sexes against the British colonists in Tasmania during the Black War.

Early life
Tarenorerer was born circa 1800 near Emu Bay, Van Diemen's Land as a member of the Tommeginne people. As a teenager, she was taken captive by Indigenous kidnappers and sold as a slave to British colonists in the Bass Strait Islands. Two of her brothers and two of her sisters joined her with the sealers. ==Resistance==
Resistance
In 1828, Tarenorerer returned to northern Tasmania, where she gathered a guerrilla band of Indigenous warriors of both sexes and lead them against the colonists. As she was able to train them in using firearms, they were successful. George Augustus Robinson referred to her as an Amazon and was very concerned about her ability to incite a revolution. Tarenorerer escaped to Port Sorell with her brothers Linnetower and Line-ne-like-kayver == See also ==
