This story has its genesis in fact, when three Fraser Island people were taken to Germany in 188283. The sole survivor was Bonangera (Boni/Bonny) whose life-size plaster cast remains at the Muse des Confluences, Lyon, France. The silencing that Badtjala people continue to endure in the localised historiography of place is ongoing. Dr Fiona Foley, Badtjala artist and academic Fraser Island, 1882. The population of the Badtjala people is in sharp decline following a run of brutal massacres. When German scientist Louis Mller offers to sail three Badtjala people Bonny, Jurano and Dorondera to Europe to perform to huge crowds, the proud and headstrong Bonny agrees, hoping to bring his peoples plight to the Queen of England. Accompanied by Mllers bright, grieving daughter, Hilda, the group begins their journey to belle-poque Europe to perfom in Hamburg, Berlin, Paris and eventually London. While crowds in Europe are enthusiastic to see the unique dances, singing, fights and pole climbing from the oldest culture in the world, the attention is relentless, and the fascination of scientists intrusive. When disaster strikes, Bonny must find a way to return home. A story of love, bravery, culture, and the fight against injustice, Paris Savages brings a little-known part of history to blazing life, from award-winning novelist Katherine Johnson.
