| Research Abstract |
We have been collecting many kinds of archival documents generated and stored in a local town Maningurida, that locates in the Western part of Arnhemland, Northern Territory, Australia, together with fieldworks in many outstations around that town for nearly these twenty years. Combining both the analyses of those archival documents and the results of fieldworks, the strategic movements of Aboriginal People in the areas have been revealed, that they are willingly accessing and utilizing the cultural resources and environmental resources in order both to cope well with the situation where the liberal and conservative party have been taking political power in turn at an interval of about ten years under Australian two-party system, and to acquire the opportunity to claim their identity for gaining economical, political and cultural profit. Their strategic movements could be seen as if they are treating cultural and environmental resources as the target of "traditional" hunting and gathering.
Together with these analyses, we are preparing the database systems that are shared and allowing co-development with registered researchers that will form a "forum" or "commons" among academic and public societies.
