Truganini is believed to have been the last full-bloodedAborigine of Tasmania. While she died in 1876, this did not signal the end of Tasmanian Aborigines altogether (just the full blooded ones), as there are estimated to be some 10,000 people with Aboriginal heritage still living in Tasmania.

When did the Europeans hunt and kill all the aborigines in Tasmania?
They didn't. A large number of Tasmanian Aborigines were indeed massacred during the 1800s, but one of the main problems was the relocation of the remainder to poorly-resourced islands, where they died from neglect, after being promised they would be looked after. This all occurred during the 1800s. The last fullblooded Tasmanian Aborigine, Truganini, died in 1876.
