Overview
First Nations peoples have lived in north Australia some 65,000 years at least, according to the archaeological evidence. [...]recently, though, academics deemed the pasts of Australian Indigenous people did not really count as history. [...]this division made sense, at least from the perspective of European scholars. The stunning galleries of art, curated and preserved in rock shelters or across plateaus, are therefore also archives. When the rock art is read alongside the colonial archive, with an attentiveness to the presence of horses in the artist’s life, we see a story emerge of Aboriginal people using the colonizers’ animals to carve out opportunities for themselves.
