dc.description.abstractThis article illustrates how a range of methodologies are required to trace the forgotten (environmental) histories of two sites situated in South Australia’s mid-north. It demonstrates how the lived experiences of current generations of settler descendants inhibit the recognition of injustices suffered by Aboriginal people and by Country itself. Multipronged historical research enables a deeper understanding of how European land use practices have altered landscapes and led to the dehydration and simplification of places that, at the time of European invasion, had co-evolved to provide a rich habitat for diverse forms of life. Despite colonists’ destruction of Country, when humans allow it, Country contains the potential to rehydrate and regenerate, to speak to its caretakers and become a vehicle for the establishment of positive relations between settler and Aboriginal descendants.
