Brief description A history of the Gugu Badhun people. The aim of this one year project is to reconstruct relations between the Gugu Badhun people and settler families from the time of first encounters with Europeans to the restructuring of the pastoral industry in the late 1960s. There is an urgency to this research in that it aims to record and analyse the experiences and knowledge of Elders and non-indigenous members of pastoral families who are elderly and in frail health. Preliminary interviews suggest that if this research is not undertaken very soon we risk being unable to understand events that give new and remarkable insights into unique and intimate relations relations that characterized life in the Kennedy District.
