I am indebted to many colleagues and friends for their assistance throughout the course of the research related to this project, although it is only possible to mention a few by name. My deepest gratitude is offered to the entire community of Mabuiag Island, with particular thanks to Charlotte Hankin and her family, and to Kalengo Tabootei Joseph and their family. John Scott of the Department of Aboriginal African Studies, provided invaluable support, and Dr Neil Chorley also greatly facilitated my work on Thursday Island. Lastly, I wish to thank Professor David R. Harris for his unfailing support and encouragement and the American Association of University Women for awarding me an Educational Foundation Fellowship for the year during which the analysis and writing of this paper was undertaken.
