Aboriginal technology&development

["Nexus Education Network : lm_net (Australia)" <lm_net@NEXUS.EDU.AU>]

Could anyone suggest a contact or reference that examines technology and develop
 ment in Aboriginal or indigenous remote communities?  My interest is in the con
 text of remote Australian Aboriginal communities and the impact of introduced t
 echnologies and systems since 1770.

The only stuff in Australian records in anthropological or sociological and does
  not address the development aid issue or how technical experience interacts wi
 th
a different culture.

Thank you Kurt at alice springs Australia.
