Historical frontier violence: drivers, legacy and the role of truth-telling

该项目旨在建立数据，以确定煽动边境暴力的历史因素；量化当今社区的遗产，并进行实地工作，以了解历史创伤是如何代代相传的。该项目期望发展关于定居的情况和遗产以及土著澳大利亚人和非土著澳大利亚人之间生活前景差距的根源的新知识。我们的期望是，这将使公众更多地接受解决的情况，并有必要作出补救。该项目应有助于增加公众对讲真话和改善土著与非土著澳大利亚人之间关系的支持，这是朝着和解和治愈国家迈出的重要一步。

This project aims to build data to identify the historical factors that incited frontier violence; quantify the legacy on communities today and conduct fieldwork to understand how historical trauma is transmitted across generations. This project expects to develop new knowledge on the circumstances and legacy of settlement and the origins of gaps in life prospects between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Our expectation is that this will increase public acceptance of the circumstances of settlement and the need to make amends. This project should help increase public support for truth-telling and better relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, a vital step towards reconciliation and healing the nation.
