Macassan History and Heritage: Journeys, Encounters and Influences

The Aboriginal Spring? Youth, Mobile Phones and Social Media in a Remote Aboriginal Community

“…Gradually, I began to find patterns in the social life of social media and mobile phones through discussions, interviews, observations and informal talks with a wide variety of individuals.

The early trade was centred on the port of Makassar and undertaken predominantly by Makassarese, Bugis, Butonese and Bajau fishers based in southern Sulawesi (Clark & May, 2013a). Now generally referred to as 'Macassans', these traders negotiated with the Indigenous landowners in Indonesia and Northern Australia for rights to access trepang stocks and sell the dried product to the Chinese market for hundreds of years (MacKnight, 1976).…”

“…The Macassan trepang trade flourished across the north of Australia from at least the 1700s to 1907 (Clark & May, 2013b), when regulations were enforced to support an Australian takeover of the industry (Macknight, 1969(Macknight, , 1976.
