Although the rest of what you say is true, it's actually a myth[0] that all Tasmanian Aboriginals were killed off (something that Tasmanian Aboriginals find frustrating in itself).

It wasn't always a myth. The legal definitions have changed over time and place, and scientific and social definitions varied.
