Description
One hundred years ago, Colin Morgan's grandfather scooped up the charred bones and teeth of his murdered family members.
Now, the Balanggarra man has gathered descendants for a remote bush commemoration to remember those who died in the Forrest River Massacre.
The killings became a national scandal and triggered a royal commission, but the police and pastoralists involved were never convicted.
A century later, WA Police have shocked local families with an unplanned speech decrying the brutal practices of the past.
