Labour History Society Public Meeting – 17 August 2025
The August public meeting will be held at the Box Factory Community Centre at 2.00pm on Sunday 17 August and features a presentation by Dr. Skye Krichauff and Associate Professor Robert Foster, of the University of Adelaide, of the results of a project documenting frontier conflict in colonial South Australia and its legacies. The title of their paper is “Uncovering and Understanding the South Australian Frontier and Aboriginal people’s contribution to the pastoral industry”
The research project ‘The South Australian Frontier and its Legacies’ maps the nature and extent of conflict between Aboriginal people and settlers in South Australia, from the arrival of sealers and whalers (in the early 1800s) until Federation (1901). The project emerged out of the call from the Uluru Statement from the Heart to engage in ‘truth-telling about our history’. Research for the project has involved an extensive examination of archival sources and the collection of oral histories from Aboriginal people and settler descendants. In the immediate wake of frontier violence, Aboriginal people were engaged in the pastoral industry, and played a key role in ensuring its success. Skye Krichauff and Rob Foster were the researchers for the project. They will discuss their findings and demonstrate the website and interactive digital ‘Story map’ that were launched during Reconciliation Week in May 2024.
