Download or read book The Lives of Stories written by Emma Dortins and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lives of Stories traces three stories of Aboriginal–settler friendships that intersect with the ways in which Australians remember founding national stories, build narratives for cultural revival, and work on reconciliation and self-determination. These three stories, which are still being told with creativity and commitment by storytellers today, are the story of James Morrill’s adoption by Birri-Gubba people and re-adoption 17 years later into the new colony of Queensland, the story of Bennelong and his relationship with Governor Phillip and the Sydney colonists, and the story of friendship between Wiradjuri leader Windradyne and the Suttor family. Each is an intimate story about people involved in relationships of goodwill, care, adoptive kinship and mutual learning across cultures, and the strains of maintaining or relinquishing these bonds as they took part in the larger events that signified the colonisation of Aboriginal lands by the British. Each is a story in which cross-cultural understanding and misunderstanding are deeply embedded, and in which the act of storytelling itself has always been an engagement in cross-cultural relations. The Lives of Stories reflects on the nature of story as part of our cultural inheritance, and seeks to engage the reader in becoming more conscious of our own effect as history-makers as we retell old stories with new meanings in the present, and pass them on to new generations.

Download or read book Living with the Locals written by John Maynard and published by National Library of Australia. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with the Locals comprises the stories of 13 white people who were taken in by Indigenous communities of the Torres Strait islands and eastern Australia between the 1790s and the 1870s, for periods from a few months to over 30 years. The shipwreck survivors, convicts and ex-convicts survived only through the Indigenous people's generosity. They assimilated to varying degrees into an Indigenous way of life and, for the most part, both parties mourned the white people's return to European life. The authors bring fresh insight to the stories and re-evaluate the encounters between Indigenous people and the white people who became part of their families.

Download or read book Exterminate with Pride written by Bruce Breslin and published by Australian Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persuasive and eloquent, Exterminate with Pride comprehensively re-assesses established views of Aboriginal-European relations in the Townsville-Bowen region of north Queensland to 1869. The benevolent intentions with which George Dalrymple has been credited in founding the township of Bowen are re-examined and dismissed. Contrary to the prevailing narrative, Aboriginal people were accepted into the stations and townships because armed suppression had failed to crush their patriotic defence of their homelands. Originally published in 1992, this edition includes a timely update. It links the experiences of the Aboriginal people on the north Queensland frontier in the 1860s to the present-day initiatives of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Queensland government's Path to Treaty.
Download or read book Botany Bay written by Maria Nugent and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Botany Bay is renowned as the site of Captain Cook's first landing on the east coast of New Holland in 1770, infamous as the place chosen by the British as a dumping ground for convicts, and celebrated as the birthplace of Australia. In this remarkable history, Maria Nugent takes her readers on a journey to find what lies behind, beneath and beyond these familiar associations. Drawing on stories, objects, images, memories and the landscape itself, she collects the threads of other pasts to weave a rich, compelling and often surprising account. Local meanings jostle with national mythologies, Aboriginal remembrance disturbs white forgetting, the natural environment struggles for survival amid the smokestacks. In the process, Botany Bay becomes a site for meditating on questions of history, myth, memory and politics in Australia. Botany Bay: where histories meet explores the role both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal history-making plays in creating and sustaining local and national communities.

Download or read book Revival Renewal Return written by Johanna Kijas and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ray Kelly became the first Aboriginal person employed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service when he joined the agency in May 1973. Ray worked as Aboriginal Research Officer on the NSW Sites of Significance Survey. Concluded in 1987, the survey was the first tentative step taken towards the documentation of Aboriginal heritage across New South Wales. The work of Ray Kelly and other members of the survey team wrought immense change in NPWS management, conservation and knowledge of Aboriginal cultural heritage. For Ray, the survey and his work with National Parks were always more than just a job. Through his own words, and the memories of friends, family and colleagues, "Revival, Renewal and Return" reflects upon Ray's pioneering work with the NPWS, especially during the formative years of the survey."--NPWS website.
