Contacts between Indigenous Australians and outsiders - Macassans, Portuguese, Dutch, English, French, Americans and others - are known to have occurred for 400 years. This book explores these diverse, subtle, dynamic and volatile first encounters from Indigenous and non - Indigenous perspectives. It also looks at the myriad elements of these crosscultural exchanges, which resulted in profound outcomes for the First Australians.
