This project investigates the nature of relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the Gulf of Carpentaria. It will generate imaginative understandings of how new relations might have been built through the historical marriage of a Waanyi woman and Chinese man in the late gold rush era; consider the challenges of contemporary Aboriginal advocacy; and examine how storytelling allows us to understand the nature of relations. The outcomes will be presented in major works of fiction and non-fiction and a collection of scholarly essays. Cultural benefits include showing how storytelling helps reveal the essential nature of human relations, and how the capacity to remake relations is essential to intercultural reconciliation.

这个项目调查了卡奔塔利亚湾土著人和非土著人之间关系的本质。它将激发人们对以下问题的富有想象力的理解：在淘金热后期，一名瓦伊女子和一名中国男子的历史性婚姻，可能会建立起怎样的新关系；考虑当代土著倡导的挑战；并研究讲故事如何让我们理解关系的本质。结果将在小说和非小说的主要作品和学术论文的集合。文化利益包括展示讲故事如何有助于揭示人类关系的本质，以及重塑关系的能力如何对跨文化和解至关重要。
