This project aims to use historic hair samples collected by anthropological expeditions in the early 20th Century to generate the first genetic map of Aboriginal Australia – in order to reconstruct Australia’s pre-European genetic and cultural past. The map and the detailed contextual and genealogical information from museum archives will assist Aboriginal communities and individuals to reconstruct their personal and family history and trace ancestry and augment oral or written records. The combination of cutting-edge science, detailed archival research, and a comprehensive family outreach and reporting program will be a step change in assisting Australia’s reconciliation process, the Stolen Generation, and repatriation of Indigenous remains.

该项目旨在利用人类学探险队在20世纪世纪早期收集的历史头发样本，绘制澳大利亚土著居民的第一张基因图，以重建澳大利亚的欧洲前遗传和文化历史。该地图以及博物馆档案中的详细背景和家谱信息将帮助土著社区和个人重建其个人和家族历史，追溯祖先，并补充口头或书面记录。尖端科学、详细的档案研究以及全面的家庭外联和报告计划相结合，将是协助澳大利亚和解进程、被偷走的一代和土著遗骸遣返的一个步骤。
