520    Outstations, which dramatically increased in numbers in 
       the 1970s, are small, decentralised and relatively 
       permanent communities of kin established by Aboriginal 
       people on land that has social, cultural or economic 
       significance to them. In 2015 they yet again came under 
       attack, this time as an expensive lifestyle choice that 
       can no longer be supported by state governments. Yet 
       outstations are the original, and most striking, 
       manifestation of remote-area Aboriginal people's 
       aspirations for self-determination, and of the life 
       projects by which they seek, and have sought, autonomy in 
       deciding the meaning of their life independently of 
       projects promoted by the state and market. They are not 
       simply projects of isolation from outside influences, as 
       they have sometimes been characterised, but attempts by 
       people to take control of the course of their lives. In 
       the sometimes acrimonious debates about outstations, the 
       lived experiences, motivations and histories of existing 
       communities are missing. For this reason, we invited a 
       number of anthropological witnesses to the early period in
       which outstations gained a purchase in remote Australia to
       provide accounts of what these communities were like, and 
       what their residents' aspirations and experiences were. 
       Our hope is that these closer-to-the-ground accounts 
       provide insight into, and understanding of, what 
       Indigenous aspirations were in the establishment and 
       organisation of these communities.
