Shared and Separate Histories: Landscapes of Memory in the Barunga Region, Australia

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research integrates archaeological, documentary and oral evidence to investigate the dynamic relationships between Indigenous people and place over time in the Barunga region, Australia. By mapping the active construction of social landscapes by different groups in the same place, this project illuminates the webs of attachment between people, place and identity during periods of upheaval and change. It records Indigenous histories being lost on a regular basis, contributes to national reconciliation through enhancing understandings of shared histories and advances international debates about the nature of social significance and how best to assess this for Indigenous places.
