| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project explores the history of the migration of Japanese workers to the Broome pearl shell industry from the 1870s to 1960s, their interactions with local Indigenous Australians, and the lives of their descendants. By combining ethnographic and archival data from Australia and Japan, this research revealed what could be called ‘Indigenous cosmopolitanism’ among Japanese-Indigenous Australian mixed descendant people, which embraces both sides of identities. This attitude has been developed through the long history of interaction between Indigenous Australians and Asian, including Japanese, migrants in northern parts of Australia, where mixing with, acknowledging and respecting other roots is part of the experience of being ‘Indigenous’
