The Stapleton Siding massacre was a massacre of Aboriginal Australians at Stapleton, Northern Territory, Australia. The massacre, which was committed by supplying poisoned damper to civilians that likely contained weed-killer, killed approximately 80 Kungarakany and Warray peoples.[1]
One of the most notable survivors of the massacre was the Aboriginal Elder Alngindabu who was then just a child.[2] A description of the massacre was passed down by Kungarakany elders, including Alngindabu to her son, Aboriginal political activist Joe McGinness.[3] [4]
