Abstract

Two hundred years of constant and deliberate disruption, dislocation and mistreatment of First Peoples has not just been experienced individually but collectively between generations and across communities. The legacy of discriminatory treatment continues for many First Peoples in archives where their stories are still locked in police files, exemption files, child welfare reports and in some instances privately owned records, meaning they are not always able to locate their story or own their identity. People whose family members were impacted by government policies (such as exemption) need to undertake extensive archival research in order to know their family history. This paper describes how the author combined auto-ethnographic description of her personal experience of archival research with documentary evidence to create a personal and historical narrative. This narrative has been captured in a “her-storical biography”, a cultural artefact meant for family. This paper argues that the First Nations re-authoring of colonial narratives described here might work as a model for people looking for family her-stories of exemption in the written archive.

她的故事传记与从档案中寻找家族史
二百年来,原住民不断遭受蓄意破坏、混乱和虐待,这不仅是个人经历的,也是几代人之间和各个社区集体经历的。对许多第一民族来说,歧视性待遇的遗留问题仍在档案中继续,他们的故事仍被锁定在警察档案、豁免档案、儿童福利报告中,在某些情况下,还有私人拥有的记录中,这意味着他们并不总是能够找到自己的故事或拥有自己的身份。家庭成员受到政府政策(如豁免)影响的人需要进行广泛的档案研究,以了解他们的家族史。本文描述了作者如何将她个人档案研究经历的民族志描述与文献证据相结合,创造出一种个人和历史叙事。这种叙述被记录在“她的故事传记”中,这是一件为家庭准备的文物。本文认为,这里描述的第一民族对殖民叙事的重新创作可能会成为人们在书面档案中寻找家庭的榜样——她的豁免故事。
