Problems about collecting data data reliability: only a part of what we record in history is what survives. We have to make choices and exclusions from what we choose to include in the narrative that is passed on. History as a discipline is only a partial story. Oral traditions about aboriginal peoples there are different types of sources - Thus, histo(cid:396)y is (cid:374)ot si(cid:373)ply (cid:858)a(cid:271)out the past(cid:859): The histo(cid:396)ia(cid:374) (cid:373)ight (cid:449)a(cid:374)t to (cid:858)(cid:396)e(cid:272)o(cid:374)st(cid:396)u(cid:272)t(cid:859) the past. But most often, the historian merely creates it (cid:858)doi(cid:374)g(cid:859) histo(cid:396)y is the(cid:396)efo(cid:396)e a (cid:272)o(cid:374)te(cid:374)tious p(cid:396)a(cid:272)ti(cid:272)e: Depends on selection and interpretation of available sources. Histo(cid:396)y is (cid:374)ot so(cid:373)ethi(cid:374)g a(cid:271)out the past (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause a histo(cid:396)ia(cid:374) does(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:272)o(cid:373)pletely just (cid:858)(cid:396)e(cid:272)o(cid:374)st(cid:396)u(cid:272)t(cid:859), they i(cid:374)te(cid:396)p(cid:396)et a(cid:374)d create. Clear and precise wording is important because it helps with interpretation.
