All of their history is basically Chinese whispers. Problem is, the left basically runs this country, so everything they say is taken at face value, which is why vast tracts of land are simply handed over to them with no questions asked.

I read an article recently indicating that the historical fact of their original migration to the country (because much as they'd argue otherwise, they're not technically indigenous to the island) won't be taught to students because it conflicts with their beliefs about their own origins.
