“…Newcastle's status as a penal settlement prevented large land grants from being made in the area (Brayshaw, 1986). In 1826, the first Indigenous mission in Australia was set up by Reverend Threlkeld on the Gunya Hotel site at Belmont-a gathering place for Awabakal people-almost 20 kilometers south of Newcastle (Carey, 2004;Johnston, 2006;Keary, 2009). While still on country, the Awabakal people were contained within the site of the mission.…”

The research presented in this article is based on a four-year place-based qualitative case study of Aboriginal success in addressing Aboriginal disadvantage in the Australian city of Newcastle. The article presents extracts from in-depth interviews with Aboriginal people working on a day-to-day basis with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people experiencing disadvantage in this city. Interviewees define Indigenous disadvantage in a way that differs considerably from how it is defined in mainstream policy circles. They describe Indigenous disadvantage as being grounded in the histories of social exclusion from Australian society, rather than merely a contemporary phenomenon related socio-economic factors (i.e., lack of educational and employment opportunities). They indicated that it was (a) closely tied to Aboriginal experiences of displacement and trauma; (b) not just a material problem but a historical and social structural problem; and (c) unique to each community. For instance, urban Indigenous disadvantage is distinct from Indigenous disadvantage in remote areas. This supports the claims of Indigenous sociologist Maggie Walter (2009). In doing so, the article more strongly aligns with a critique of a neo-liberal racial project, which defines Indigenous disadvantage within an individualistic framework of individual rights and in terms of socio-economic gaps, from the voices of Aboriginal representatives.

“…As an attempt at retrieving and reconstructing Aboriginal voices from British sources, it is ethnohistorical in its methods and goals. 3 Missionary linguistic texts, as scholars 2 Reynolds 1998: 60-69;Johnston 2003, Chs 8 and 9;Lissarague 2006;Roberts 2008;Carey 2004Carey , 2009 in other fields have shown, were hybrid, cross-cultural productions. 4 They necessarily emerged, as Derek Peterson writes, 'out of a sustained dialogue with native others', and bear the marks, however refracted, of indigenous interests and intentions.…”
