Historical frontier violence: drivers, legacy and the role of truth-telling

该项目旨在建立数据，以确定引发边境暴力的历史因素；量化今天社区的遗产，并进行实地调查，以了解历史创伤是如何代代相传的。该项目期望发展关于定居环境和遗产以及土著和非土著澳大利亚人之间生活前景差距的根源的新知识。我们的期望是，这将增加公众对解决情况和作出补偿的必要性的接受。这个项目应该有助于增加公众对讲真话的支持，改善土著和非土著澳大利亚人之间的关系，这是实现和解和治愈国家的重要一步。

This project aims to build data to identify the historical factors that incited frontier violence; quantify the legacy on communities today and conduct fieldwork to understand how historical trauma is transmitted across generations. This project expects to develop new knowledge on the circumstances and legacy of settlement and the origins of gaps in life prospects between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Our expectation is that this will increase public acceptance of the circumstances of settlement and the need to make amends. This project should help increase public support for truth-telling and better relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, a vital step towards reconciliation and healing the nation.
