Fugitive Traces: Reconstructing Yulluna experiences of the frontier

该项目聚焦于一个著名的土著家庭的口述历史，该家庭的历史与昆士兰州土著骑警深深纠缠在一起，旨在在殖民定居和边境冲突的复杂性的更广泛背景下考虑家族史。通过土著居民、考古学家、历史学家、人类学家、博物馆馆长和教育工作者的合作，预期的结果将是迄今为止难以捉摸的土著边疆经历的第一部持续的历史。这样一来，它将为澳大利亚过去一段有争议的时期提供新的视角。它的主要好处将是以实际的方式为和解作出贡献。

Focussing on oral histories held by a prominent Aboriginal family whose history is deeply enmeshed with the Qld Native Mounted Police, this project aims to consider family history in the broader context of colonial settlement and the complexities of frontier conflict. Through a collaboration of Indigenous peoples, archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, museum curators and educators, the expected outcome will be the first sustained history of a hitherto elusive Aboriginal experience of the frontier. In doing so it will provide fresh insights into a contentious period in Australia’s past. Its chief benefit will be to contribute in a practical way to reconciliation.
