Everywhen is a groundbreaking collection about diverse ways of
conceiving, knowing, and narrating time and deep history. Looking
beyond the linear documentary past of Western or academic history,
this collection asks how knowledge systems of Australia’s
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders can broaden our
understandings of the past and of historical practice. Indigenous
embodied practices for knowing, narrating, and reenacting the past
in the present blur the distinctions of linear time, making all
history now. Ultimately, questions of time and language are
questions of Indigenous sovereignty. The Australian case is
especially pertinent because Australian Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people are among the few Native peoples without a
treaty with their colonizers. Appreciating First Nations’ time
concepts embedded in languages and practices, as Everywhen does, is
a route to recognizing diverse forms of Indigenous sovereignties.
Everywhen makes three major contributions. The first is a
concentration on language, both as a means of knowing and
transmitting the past across generations and as a vital, albeit
long-overlooked source material for historical investigation, to
reveal how many Native people maintained and continue to maintain
ancient traditions and identities through
language. Everywhen also considers Indigenous practices
of history, or knowing the past, that stretch back more than sixty
thousand years; these Indigenous epistemologies might indeed
challenge those of the academy. Finally, the volume explores ways
of conceiving time across disciplinary boundaries and across
cultures, revealing how the experience of time itself is mediated
by embodied practices and disciplinary norms. Everywhen brings
Indigenous knowledges to bear on the study and meaning of the past
and of history itself. It seeks to draw attention to every when,
arguing that Native time concepts and practices are vital to
understanding Native histories and, further, that they may offer a
new framework for history as practiced in the Western academy.
