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.

该项目调查卡奔塔利亚湾土著人和非土著人之间关系的性质。它将产生新的关系如何可能已经通过一个Waanyi女人和中国男人在淘金热时代后期的历史婚姻建立富有想象力的理解;考虑当代原住民宣传的挑战;并研究如何讲故事让我们了解关系的性质。其成果将在小说和非小说的主要作品和学术论文集。文化的好处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。
