&amp;lsquo;This story has its genesis in fact, when three Fraser Island people were taken to Germany in 1882-83. The sole survivor was Bonangera (Boni/Bonny) whose life-size plaster cast remains at the Mus&amp;eacute;e des Confluences, Lyon, France. The silencing that Badtjala people continue to endure in the localised historiography of place is ongoing.&amp;rsquo;<br> <br> Dr Fiona Foley, Badtjala artist and academic<br> <br> Fraser Island, 1882. The population of the Badtjala people is in sharp decline following a run of brutal massacres. When German scientist Louis M&amp;uuml;ller 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 people&amp;rsquo;s plight to the Queen of England.<br> <br> Accompanied by M&amp;uuml;llers bright, grieving daughter, Hilda, the group begin their journey to belle-&amp;eacute;poque Europe to perform 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.<br> <br> 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.
