Extinction, Survival, Resurgence: Indigenous and colonial histories

该项目旨在调查在殖民者殖民后被欧洲人视为灭绝的土著社区的历史，但他们坚称自己在新的文化中幸存下来。该项目以加拿大塔斯马尼亚和纽芬兰为重点，结合土著社区的生活经历，研究档案材料，以促进对快速环境变化时期的灭绝和生存的理解。成果包括加强与国际第一民族社区、机构和研究人员建立合作的能力。新的数字工具使土著澳大利亚人和文化机构能够获取历史材料，这将大大有利于文化和语言的更新。

This project aims to investigate the histories of Indigenous communities deemed extinct by Europeans in the wake of settler colonisation but who maintain they have survived with renewed cultures. With a focus on Tasmania and Newfoundland, Canada, the project examines archival material alongside the lived experiences of Indigenous communities to advance understandings of extinction and survival at a time of rapid environmental change. Outcomes include enhanced capacity to build collaborations with international first nation communities, institutions and researchers. New digital tools making historical materials accessible to Indigenous Australians and cultural institutions will significantly benefit cultural and language renewal.
