Hidden talent : contributions of Aboriginal musicians of the New England Tablelands to contemporary Aboriginal culture and cultural re-vitalisation

Abstract

This research forms a significant contribution to the Anaiwan Nation and the Australia's understanding of the development of Aboriginal music in the New England area. There has been very little research into this aspect of my people's History. The research aims to make a significant contribution to our conceptual understandings of and documentation of Australian History from an actual indigenous perspective (drawn from experience and research by a real Aboriginal person...) to ensure Indigenous historical interpretations and perspectives are voiced in critical academic analyses of Australian history. The outcome will be a comprehensive multi-method critical analysis of Anaiwan people's contributions to the development and eventual reality of music created by Aboriginal people in the New England area. The researcher's paternal antecedents are from the Anaiwan Nation.
