Notable people?

Some of the Adelaide Park Lands have been named after Aboriginal South Australians. Presumably these people are notable? (And thus should appear in the template?) Pdfpdf (talk) 12:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Pangki Pangki

This page relates an unhappy story:

In July 1841, Pangki Pangki accompanied Mathew (sic) Moorhouse, the 'Protector' of Aborigines to Lake Bonney and the Rufus River to meet Robinson’s overland party. This was the site of a well documented massacre in which some 30 Aborigines were shot dead, ten were wounded and four were taken prisoner. This massacre was carried out by a party commanded by Sub-Inspector Shaw on the western side of the Rufus and by Robinson’s party on the eastern side. Moorhouse, the ‘Protector’ of Aborigines was present and actually presided over this massacre, admitting that "the firing commenced before spears were thrown" (see Mattingley & Hampton p.38-40).
