How did James Stirling find Aboriginal people?

James Stirling, the first Governor of Western Australia, encountered Aboriginal people during his exploration of the region in the early 19th century. He viewed them through a colonial lens, often characterizing them as primitive or uncivilized. Stirling's interactions were marked by a combination of curiOSity and misunderstanding, leading to a complex and often exploitative relationship between settlers and Indigenous communities. His perspective reflected the broader attitudes of European colonizers towards Aboriginal peoples during that era.
