Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Anthropogenic climate change has become a reality, and in Australia this means longer wildfire seasons with more intense fires across a wider area. The GunaiKurnai people of southeastern Victoria saw a large proportion of their Country decimated by the Gippsland Fires of 'Black Summer' (2019-2020), prompting questions about the management of Country and its heritage places and artefacts, and of the role that traditional ('cultural') burning could play. This volume, written at the request of the GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GKLaWAC), seeks to investigate these twin issues. Bringing together a multi-disciplinary team of Aboriginal Elders, archaeologists, environmental scientists, ecologists, historians and art historians, it considers the histories of GunaiKurnai and European settler burning-based landscape management practices, the impacts of fire on specific classes of cultural materials, and the broader impact of changing wildfire patterns on cultural sites in the landscape. This is a truly collaborative venture that sees GunaiKurnai and academic expertise brought to bear in the service of common and pressing issues.…

Provenance: Dr Betty Francis Meehan (born 1933), Australian archaeologist and anthropologist, with her ownership signature in all four volumes. Attached with a single staple to the verso of each front cover is an item of correspondence from Kate Khan to Betty Meehan, presenting the individual volumes to her when they were published. The first one is a full-page letter: 'At last the Roth Catalogue is out! Only three more to go. I do appreciate all the advice you gave me, and hope you are pleased with the finished product'. The second one is a 'with compliments' slip, which states among some personal comments 'I have nearly finished roughing out Vol. 3, & hope it will be published late 1997' (make that 2003!). Loosely inserted in the last volume is an autograph letter signed by Kate Khan: 'Dear Betty, . Enclosed is Vol. 4, - the last of the Cape York Roth catalogues. I have already started on his Gulf country material, but am a long way from publication'. We have not found evidence that any further catalogues have been published. [4 items]. Signed. …

Original sepia-toned albumen paper photographs (both 158 × 208 mm), unmounted as issued; short sealed tear to the bottom corner of the photograph of weapons; essentially in fine condition. Captain Samuel White Sweet (1825-1886), sea captain, surveyor and photographer: after he was censured when his ship ran aground in 1875, he 'retired from the sea, opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes. With his horse-drawn dark room he travelled through South Australia taking hundreds of skilful pictures of the outback, stations and homesteads. The colony's foremost documentary photographer of the 1870s, in the early 1880s he was one of the first to use the new dry-plate process' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). 'Point McLeay Mission was founded on the shores of Lake Alexandrina in 1859 by the Aborigines' Friends Association for the Aboriginal people of the Lower Lakes. George Taplin, the Congregational minister, was its first administrator. Following Government administration from 1916, Point McLeay was returned to the Ngarrindjeri people in 1974 and renamed Raukkan in 1982' (State Library of South Australia). The group portrait depicts 55 Indigenous men, women and children posed in five rows in front of one of the thatch-roofed residential cottages at Point McLeay. 'Sweet | Adelaide | 463' is inscribed in the negative; 'Native Mission Station | Ponindie [sic]' is written in pencil (and in error) on the verso. The photograph of weapons and artefacts is inscribed 'Sweet | Adelaide | 462' in the negative, and has an early caption in pencil on the verso ('Native Ornaments & Weapons'). The objects, numbered 1 to 17 in the negative, are displayed against a whitewashed wall of one of the cottages. We have traced only one example of the latter photograph in Trove (in the National Library of Australia), and none of the group portrait. 'Captain Sweet's Colonial Imagination - The Ideals of Modernity in South Australian Views Photography, 1866-1886' by Karen Magee (a 2014 University of Adelaide doctoral thesis, accessible online) notes that Sweet visited Point McLeay in 1878 and 1880. She reproduces the latter photograph in her extensive catalogue (see number 811, '"Ngarrindjeri weapons and hunting implements," 1878, Point McLeay. Private Collection'), but does not record the group portrait. [2 items].…
