I'm Nick Herriman, anthropology lecturer at La Trobe Uni. With anthropologist Monika Winarnita, I do fieldwork on with the Cocos Malays. They are descendants of slaves, convicts, and/or indentured laborers brought to these the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the 1800s. From the mid-1900s large numbers migrated to Singapore, Christmas Island, Borneo, and several locations in Western Australia. After a plebiscite, Cocos Malays became part of Australia in 1984.
