Funded Activity Summary

Extinction, Survival, Resurgence: Indigenous and colonial histories. This project aims to investigate the histories of Indigenous communities deemed extinct by Europeans in the wake of settler colonisation but who maintain they have survived with renewed cultures. With a focus on Tasmania and Newfoundland, Canada, the project examines archival material alongside the lived experiences of Indigenous communities to advance understandings of extinction and survival at a time of rapid environmental change. Outcomes include enhanced capacity to build collaborations with international first nation communities, institutions and researchers. New digital tools making historical materials accessible to Indigenous Australians and cultural institutions will significantly benefit cultural and language renewal.
