Abstract

ABSTRACT This article presents research from an ongoing collaborative project between two women—an Aboriginal woman and senior Wayilwan cultural knowledge holder, and an academic of European descent—that aims to closely and critically re-read Australian colonial and later historical sources for Wayilwan women’s knowledge of Country and community. In this article, we specifically focus on the journals of colonial explorers John Oxley, Charles Sturt and Thomas Mitchell, who travelled through Wayilwan Country in the early to mid-19th century. We begin by outlining our collaborative methodology, contextualising Wayilwan Country and introducing these journals. We then examine the journals in terms of four interlinked Wayilwan women’s knowledges: river knowledge, fire knowledge, grain and yam knowledge, and care of children and the elderly. In undertaking this research, we aim to contribute to decolonising methods and methodologies, address harmful disengagements with Aboriginal women’s practices, and respectfully carry forward Wayilwan women’s knowledge.

瓦伊尔万妇女关心国家:动态知识、非殖民化历史方法和殖民探险家期刊
本文介绍了一项正在进行的合作项目的研究成果,该项目由两位女性组成,一位是土著妇女和资深的Wayilwan文化知识持有人,另一位是欧洲血统的学者,旨在仔细和批判性地重新阅读澳大利亚殖民时期和后来的历史资料,以了解Wayilwan妇女对国家和社区的知识。在这篇文章中,我们特别关注殖民探险家约翰·奥克斯利,查尔斯·斯特和托马斯·米切尔的日记,他们在19世纪早期到中期穿越了韦维尔万国家。我们首先概述了我们的合作方法,介绍了Wayilwan Country的背景,并介绍了这些期刊。在此基础上,我们从河流知识、火知识、粮山药知识、照顾儿童和老人四个方面对这些期刊进行了研究。在进行这项研究时,我们的目标是为非殖民化方法和方法做出贡献,解决与土著妇女习俗的有害脱离问题,并尊重地发扬Wayilwan妇女的知识。
