Funded Activity Summary

Negotiated Encounters: Native peoples and cross cultural engagements in the early Australian and New Zealand maritime enterprises 1790-1850. "Negotiated Encounters" will provide new accounts and interpretations of Australian and New Zealand colonial history. The main focus is on the race relations and cross-cultural encounters in the early maritime industries of sealing and whaling. A key element of the project will be an exploration of the notion of shared history and how relationships form(ed) between Indigenous and non-Indigenous in the colonial period. This project will contribute to contemporary debates on the importance of history, trans-Tasman National identity and the meaning of the past.
