Description

Malnuda Burra Yina: Gabra Stories of Yorta Yorta Fruit Picking. This project will investigate the role played by Yorta Yorta people in the Goulburn Valley fruit picking industry. Utilising family/clan led research, it is intended to advance our understanding of the history of Australian capitalism by applying Aboriginal modalities. The project will show how Yorta Yorta families practiced self-determination through their choice of labour and employer from the 1920s to the 1970s. Its outcomes are multifaceted, prioritising community aspirations to document their contribution to the economy. The project should provide significant social, cultural and commercial benefits by generating greater knowledge of Yorta Yorta fruit picking in the Goulburn Valley region and beyond. . Scheme: Discovery Indigenous. Field: 4519 - Other Indigenous Data, Methodologies and Global Indigenous Studies. Lead: Prof Julie Andrews
