From left: Suzannah Henty with Keicha Day. Both women want the Henty name and monuments to the family removed from the area due to the Henty settlers removing Indigenous people from their land, killing many in the process in the 1830s. They want place names to honour Indigenous culture and markers recognising the sites of massacres. Henty became aware of her family’s role in what she called genocide only when she heard a lecture given by a Gunditjmara man at university. Day says of meeting Henty: “I truly believe that the ancestors brought us together – where we’re supposed to be here at the right time. And so I’m going to honour that.”
