Aboriginal Maritime Landscapes in South Australia reveals the
maritime landscape of a coastal Aboriginal mission, Burgiyana
(Point Pearce), in South Australia, based on the experiences of the
Narungga community. A collaborative initiative with Narungga
peoples and a cross-disciplinary approach have resulted in new
understandings of the maritime history of Australia. Analysis of
the long-term participation of Narungga peoples in Australia's
maritime past, informed by Narungga oral histories, primary
archival research and archaeological fieldwork, delivers insights
into the world of Aboriginal peoples in the post-contact maritime
landscape. This demonstrates that multiple interpretations of
Australia's maritime past exist and provokes a reconsideration of
how the relationship between maritime and Indigenous archaeology is
seen. This book describes the balance ground shaped through the
collaboration, collision and reconciliation of Aboriginal and
non-Aboriginal peoples in Australia. It considers community-based
practices, cohesively recording such areas of importance to
Aboriginal communities as beliefs, knowledges and lived experiences
through a maritime lens, highlighting the presence of Narungga and
Burgiyana peoples in a heretofore Western-dominated maritime
literature. Through its consideration of such themes as maritime
archaeology and Aboriginal history, the book is of value to
scholars in a broad range of disciplines, including archaeology,
anthropology, history and Indigenous studies.
