Food, Traditional Aboriginal Knowledge and the Expansion of the Settler Economy

该项目将通过关注食物的作用和传统土著食物知识，加强我们对澳大利亚土著定居者历史的理解。 它还将及时参与关于土著知识在现代世界中的作用的全球辩论。 除了产生包括书籍在内的学术成果外，该项目还将建立和维护一个土著社区、学者、土地使用者和管理人员可以使用的知识数据库。 另一个好处是，在文化敏感、社会和历史背景的社区报告中，将档案馆和其他储存库中的知识和信息归还给土著后裔社区。

This project will strengthen our understanding of Australian Indigenous-settler history by focusing on the role of food and traditional Aboriginal food knowledge. It will also represent a timely engagement with worldwide debates about the role of Indigenous knowledge in a modern world. As well as producing scholarly outcomes including books the project will establish and maintain a data-base of this knowledge which will be accessible to Indigenous communities, scholars, land users and managers. A further benefit will be the repatriation of knowledge and information located in archives and other repositories to descendant Aboriginal communities in culturally sensitive, socially and historically contextualised Community Reports.
