Events in the life of Woiwurrung resistance leader Jagga Jagga (Jackey Jackey, Jakki Jakki). Note, many people at the time were referred to as Jagga Jagga, so it can sometimes be difficult to be sure whether or not the same person is being referred to. This map refers specifically to the Jagga Jagga who was recognised by colonists as a notorious resistance leader and whose country was to the south east of the Yarra Yarra, and so the south east of Woi-wurrung country, of the Kulin nation. He is likely to have been one of the 3 people referred to as Jaga Jaga in the Batman treaty.
