1 Cross-Cultural Encounters: Reconceptualising Shared Histories on the Bundian Way Jodie Stewart , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: Postcolonial Studies , vol. 23 no. 1 2020; (p. 116-131) 'The Bundian project is an initiative of the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council on the far south coast of New South Wales, Australia. Aboriginal Elders and activists working on the project are restoring an Aboriginal pathway that stretches from the coast to the high country. This article examines the experiences of four young Aboriginal men employed to work on the project. Drawing on qualitative research, I analyse how these young men are using and reconceptualising settler histories of early cross-cultural encounters to propose new ways of living well in settler-colonial Australia and to contest the dominant settler historiography that has positioned Indigenous people as either ‘violent, ignoble savages’ or the fading victims of colonisation. In their rearticulation through the project, these stories of early cross-cultural relations are reclaimed as powerful critical histories of settler colonisation. Through this project, Aboriginal people are critically interrogating discourses of settler colonisation while opening up new historical spaces that speak to the ‘truth’ of Aboriginal lived experience in contemporary Australia.'

1 1 y separately published work icon My Life Story Book : Aboriginal Version New South Wales : NSW Department of Community Services , 2009 Z1611296 2009 single work life story children's 'My Life Story Book is a record of a child or young person's life in words, pictures, photos and documents. It is a chronological account of the child or young person's history and begins when the child enters out-of-home care and is kept up during their time in care. A key part is information about cultural and religious heritage. The life story materials help them, when they are ready, to understand why they came into care and to express their feelings about this. It is a valuable process so that children and young people can feel connected to significant people and places in their past, their family of origin, culture and heritage.'
