Indigenous participation in the Australian colonial economy: an anthropological and historical investigation.

这项研究对国家和社区的主要好处在于该项目产生了新的信息，并增进了我们对土著人民与更广泛社区之间过去关系的了解。这项提案有可能通过调查各种类型的通融和利益互惠关系来调停历史战争中的极端立场，这些利益关系为许多早期在边境内外的遭遇提供了依据。它还将扩大定居者-土著关系的重点，从土著人民和盎格鲁-凯尔特人与澳大利亚盎格鲁-凯尔特人之间的关系扩大到包括与包括阿富汗定居者在内的其他族裔的关系。

The main benefits of the research to the Nation and community lie in the new information generated by the project, and the enhancement of our understanding of past relations between Indigenous people and the wider community. The proposal has the potential to mediate the extreme positions in the 'history wars' by investigating the various types of accommodation and mutuality of interests which informed many early encounters on and beyond the frontier. It will also widen the focus of settler-Indigenous relationships from those between Indigenous people and Anglo-Celtic Australians to include relations with other ethnicities including Afghani settlers.
