Abstract

Obituary for Minoru Hokari. The passing of Dr Minoru Hokari, one of the brightest and most innovative young scholars working in Australian Indigenous history research, is a tragic loss to the field. Minoru — or Mino to his friends — had a spirit of adventure and a creative intellect marked by a flexible, imaginative style. While studying economics at Hitotsubashi University, Japan, he began to dream of living with an Australian Indigenous people, a dream he was deeply satisfied to have fulfilled. His 1996 Master of Economics research was on ‘Aboriginal economy and cattle labour: economic history of the Gurindji people’ — a somewhat unusual choice at the renowned and often business-oriented campus of Hitotsubashi.
