There are a number of other transcriptions (or spellings) of her Palawa language name, including: Trugannini, Trucanini, Trucaminni, and Trucaninny. Trugernanner was also widely known by the nickname "Lalla Rooke."
When Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur arrived in Van Diemen's Land in 1824, he implemented two policies to deal with the growing conflict between settlers and the Aborigines. First, bounties were awarded for the capture of Aboriginal adults and children, and secondly an effort was made to establish friendly relations with Aborigines in order to lure them into camps. The campaign began on Bruny Island where there had been fewer hostilities than in other parts of Tasmania. In 1830, George Augustus Robinson, the Protector of Aborigines, moved Trugernanner and Woorrady to Flinders Island with the last surviving Tasmanian Aborigines, numbering approximately one hundred. The stated aim of isolation was to save them, but many of the group died from influenza and other diseases. Trugernanner also helped Robinson with a settlement for mainland Aborigines at Port Phillip in 1838. After about 2 years of living in and around Melbourne they became outlaws, stealing from settlers around Dandenong before heading to Bass River and then Cape Paterson where members of their group murdered two whalers at Watsons hut then shot and injured other settlers around the area. A long pursuit followed where those responsible for the murders were captured, sent for trial then hanged in Melbourne. A gunshot wound to Trugernanner's head was treated by Doctor Hugh Anderson of Bass River before she and her party were sent to stand trial in Melbourne, resulting in her being sent back to Flinders Island. In 1856, the few surviving Tasmanian Aborigines on Flinders Island, including Trugernanner, were moved to a settlement at Oyster Cove, south of Hobart.
Trugernanner is considered to be the last full-blood speaker of a Tasmanian language. Fanny Cochrane Smith, who spoke one of the Tasmanian languages, outlived her, however. A woman of mixed descent, she lived into the twentieth century, and recorded songs in her native language.
In 1997 the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, England, returned Trugernanner's necklace and bracelet to Tasmania. In 2002, some of her hair and skin were found in the collection of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and returned to Tasmania for burial.
