Abstract
The story of ‘relations between two races in a single field of life’ (Stanner), largely untold until the late 1960s, has now been recovered in great detail, but it has been acknowledged and absorbed only selectively. How the story has been retrieved but also contained, deflected and managed in and in respect of one Australian town, in academic, official and popular publications, in courts and tribunals, through monuments and museums, and on public occasions, is surprisingly reflective of the national experience as a whole. Some suggestions are offered as to whether and how the story could be more forthrightly accepted, in Tennant Creek and in Australia, and as to why, and to whom, it matters.
