Description
Discover the profound narratives within 'Endeavour Voyage: The Untold Stories of Cook and the First Australians'. This captivating book, published by the National Museum of Australia in 2020, delves into the historical significance of Captain James Cook and the dramatic events of 1770. Central to this work is the exploration of the first British contact with Australia's east coast, a pivotal moment in the nation's history that carries diverse interpretations from Anglo-Australians and Indigenous Australians alike.

Through collaborative efforts with Indigenous peoples from the east coast, the National Museum of Australia has crafted a book that includes vital perspectives long overlooked in mainstream historical discourse.
In 'Endeavour Voyage', readers will find insights from influential authors such as Megan Davis, Maria Nugent, Angus Trumble, and Sarah Engledow, who shed light on how the events of 1770 have been perceived and remembered, especially during a year marked by the challenges of COVID-19.

Description:
The Story of Cook and 1770 marks the first moment of British contact with the east coast of the continent we now know as Australia. It is one of our nation's origin stories, although remembered very differently by Anglo-Australians and by Indigenous Australians.
Endeavour Voyage: The Untold Stories of Cook and the First Australians brings something new to this chapter of our history. It expands our national narrative to encompass the perspectives of Indigenous Australians long absent from the telling of these stories.
In making the exhibition and creating this companion book, the National Museum of Australia worked closely with Indigenous people from communities along the east coast of Australia — people whose ancestors witnessed the events of 1770.
This richly illustrated publication provides the back story to the exhibition and offers insights from Megan Davis, Maria Nugent, Angus Trumble, Sarah Engledow and others on both Captain James Cook and the Endeavour voyage, including how our understandings of the events of 1770 have been shaped, in part, by a 250th anniversary year defined by COVID-19.
