Abstract

This article examines of the life of Nancy Verna Power, an Aboriginal woman born in north-west Queensland in 1910. Nancy Power was given an exemption certificate in 1933. The certificate released her from control by the Department of Native Affairs in 1933 and led her to remain silent about her identity in the later years of her life. This article examines Nancy's early life as a domestic servant, when she was under the control of the Chief Protector, the superintendent of Purga Mission and other government administrators. Using Phillips and Bunda's principles of “storying” each author describes a period of Nancy's life with an eye to their own connection to, and ability to tell, the story. Judi Wickes, Nancy's niece, tells her story from 1910 to 1924 and from 1934 to 1950 using family records and her own memories. Katherine Ellinghaus, a non-Indigenous historian, uses the official written records created by the Queensland government to describe Nancy's life between 1930 and 1934.

“永远不回头,永远向前看”:南希·鲍尔的早期生活
本文考察了南希·维娜·鲍尔的生活,她是1910年出生于昆士兰西北部的土著妇女。Nancy Power于1933年获得豁免证书。1933年,该证书使她脱离了原住民事务部的控制,并使她在晚年对自己的身份保持沉默。这篇文章探讨了南希早年的家庭佣工生活,当时她受到首席保护者、炼狱任务负责人和其他政府行政人员的控制。利用菲利普斯和邦达的“讲故事”原则,每一位作者都描述了南希的一段生活,着眼于他们自己与故事的联系和讲述故事的能力。南希的侄女朱迪·威克斯利用家庭记录和自己的回忆,告诉了她1910年至1924年和1934年至1950年的故事。非土著历史学家Katherine Ellinghaus使用昆士兰政府创建的官方书面记录来描述南希在1930年至1934年间的生活。
