Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines Aboriginal connections to pastoral properties on the western central Murray River, with a focus on Calperum and Chowilla Stations. Station histories are presented, oral histories are explored and archaeological sites and material culture from the period are considered. The range of histories, interactions and “zones of encounter” are then compared to relevant interpretive models in order to highlight some of the myriad complexities relating to invasion, colonisation and pastoralism. In particular, we explore a range of themes, including conflict/violence, place names, traditional activities, rations, labour and more to demonstrate Aboriginal engagements and connection to Country throughout the pastoral era, even during times of significant duress – bringing to the fore otherwise “anonymised”, “hidden” and “contested” narratives. This research was undertaken in collaboration with the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation (RMMAC).

从漏洞到劳动力:土著与南澳大利亚Calperum和Chowilla牧区站的联系

本文考察了墨累河中西部原住民与牧区财产的联系，重点关注了Calperum和Chowilla站。展示了车站历史，探索了口述历史，并考虑了该时期的考古遗址和物质文化。然后将历史、相互作用和“相遇区域”的范围与相关的解释模型进行比较，以突出与入侵、殖民和游牧有关的无数复杂性。特别是，我们探索了一系列主题，包括冲突/暴力、地名、传统活动、口粮、劳动等，以展示整个田园时代，甚至在重大胁迫时期，土著居民与国家的接触和联系——将原本“匿名”、“隐藏”和“有争议”的叙述展现出来。这项研究是与默里河和马利土著公司(RMMAC)合作进行的。
