Cultural differences led to misunderstandings. For example, Captain Arthur Phillip once received a spear in his shoulder through a misunderstanding over an Aboriginal ritual, not through malice on either side. However, cultural differences also meant that the Aborigines did not understand the white man's concept of "ownership". They thought that the cattle and sheep the white men farmed were easy game for hunting: white men interpreted their killing of livestock as theft and hostility. Once white men reacted in anger, killing Aborigines in revenge, tensions and conflict escalated from there.
