Indigenous participation in the Australian colonial economy: an anthropological and historical investigation.

研究对国家和社区的主要好处在于项目产生的新信息，以及加强我们对土著人民与更广泛社区之间过去关系的理解。该建议有可能调解的极端立场在“历史战争”的调查各种类型的住宿和相互利益，告知许多早期的遭遇和超越边境。它还将扩大定居者-土著关系的重点，从土著人民和盎格鲁-凯尔特澳大利亚人之间的关系扩大到包括阿富汗定居者在内的其他族裔的关系。

The main benefits of the research to the Nation and community lie in the new information generated by the project, and the enhancement of our understanding of past relations between Indigenous people and the wider community. The proposal has the potential to mediate the extreme positions in the 'history wars' by investigating the various types of accommodation and mutuality of interests which informed many early encounters on and beyond the frontier. It will also widen the focus of settler-Indigenous relationships from those between Indigenous people and Anglo-Celtic Australians to include relations with other ethnicities including Afghani settlers.
