I have published numerous articles and commentary on issues relating to the repatriation of Aboriginal skeletal remains in the Australian press. I have also published non-refereed writings through the publications program of the School of Humanities, at James Cook University. Since 1985 I have worked closely with Indigenous and non-Indigenous members of the North Queensland Community on the writing of their life-histories. The most recent of these to appear have been Straight from the Yudaman’s Mouth by Renata Pryor (Townsville: Department of History and Politics, 1995), and the Gallipoli Experiences of Ronald Ellwood (current being prepared for web publication). I have also furnished reports and briefing papers for Aboriginal community organisations and the Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action (FAIRA). I am currently writing a book on the history of the procurement and scientific uses of Indigenous Australian bodily remains. A copy of my working draft manuscript can be supplied to members of the committee in electronic format on request. |
