Abstract

Understanding Indigenous peoples' formative role in early exploration and economic development of Australia throughout the contact and post-contact period is important. From first interactions with visiting mariners and shipwreck survivors, Indigenous peoples have been active agents within the maritime sphere. Evidence of Aboriginal maritime agency is also found in the archaeological literature of Aboriginal laboring in whaling, sealing, and pearling (McPhee 2001; Gibbs 2003; Paterson 2011). Another intersection between Aboriginal and maritime spheres occurred at coastal missions. The missionary period began in Australia in 1823 with the establishment of missions in New South Wales (McNiven and Russell 2005:226). Despite their isolating agendas missions were, in many cases, still engaged with the maritime domain. Indigenous peoples living on missions across Australia built, owned, operated, and maintained boats (Roberts et al. 2013). The purpose of working vessels varied and included cultural obligations, transport, and fishing for subsistence and sale. Importantly, Aboriginal missions used colonial maritime networks for importing supplies, exporting products, transporting stock and people internally, as well as relying on marine resources for subsistence (Fowler 2013:74).
