No, the Aborigines of Australia are not proud of cannibalizing their young. According to George Taplin in The Narrinyeri, “This terrible crime of infanticide is covered up and concealed from the observation of the whites with extreme care.” Supporting this, George Bennett in Wanderings in New South Wales, Batavia, pedir coast, singapore… said “one redeeming quality, however, was, that they displayed a sense of shame when acknowledging the fact, and gave the reason for which they had committed so barbarous an act. It is seldom they will confess having destroyed their offspring”
Ultimately, the sources stress, these practices were shrouded in extreme secrecy, with the “bush life” providing ample facility to conceal them from outside observation.
