Aboriginal Exemption: Truth-telling, History, and Healing

该项目旨在开发可访问的、由土著居民主导的知识，了解鲜为人知的20世纪澳大利亚政策，这些政策在土著社区造成了痛苦和混乱。预期的结果将包括家庭故事选集、学校课程材料、专题讨论会和方法论文章。这些好处包括使后代能够以文化上安全的方式获取有关豁免的档案信息，传播文化上适当的历史，为长老们提供财政支持，承认他们的时间和专业知识，以及长老们领导土著和非土著历史学家进行紧急历史创造的合作模式。

This project aims to develop accessible, Indigenous-led knowledge about little known twentieth-century Australian policies that caused pain and dislocation in Indigenous communities. Expected outcomes will include an anthology of family stories, school curriculum materials, symposia, and methodological articles. Benefits include empowering descendants to access archival information about exemption in culturally safe ways, disseminating culturally appropriate histories, financial support for Elders acknowledging their time and expertise, and a model of collaboration in which Elders lead Indigenous and non-Indigenous historians to undertake urgent history-making.
