@9point = "That's My Country ... ": Shared History or Contested Ground — Anthropologists, archaeologists, ethnographers, historians and geographers have all attempted to "map" the connections between indigenous Australians and the land. But Aboriginal people have also mapped and marked their country continuously with paintings, dances, stories and ceremonies — commemorating associations with places which do not fit easily into the official criteria for assessing significant attachment to land. What happens when a place embodies important historical or cultural values to different groups of people, when a site of value to indigenous people has also become important to successive generations of non-Aboriginal people?
