	George Augustus Robinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Augustus Robinson (22 March 1791 – October 18, 1866) was a builder and untrained preacher.
		Robinson was to be brought in as a conciliator.
		Robinson's involvement with the aborigines ended soon after this, though, and the Wybalenna settlement became more akin to a prison as the camp conditions deteriorated and many of the residents died of ill health and homesickness.

	Trucanini
		George Augustus Robinson began his ‘friendly mission’ to the aborigines in 1829, by means of an appointment by Lieut.–Governor George Arthur.
		Robinson’s friendly mission began on Bruny Island, where no violent clashes incited by Aborigies had been recorded, even though the rest of the Tasmanians were effectively at war with the white man and the Island had fallen prey to the whims of the sealers.
		Robinson is seen to represent the virtues of civilization, a heroic white man stands unarmed amidst a band of savages, pacifying them with the promise of a better life under the protection of the crown.

		Scheding's psychological parsing of Robinson's language, for example, to find a contemporary explanation for what he really meant by words like "induced" or "persuaded" stretches credulity given the wider usage of the terms in fl-white history.
