NCFRP Literature Review Cultural flows LITERATURE REVIEW For First Nations People, water is a sacred source of life. The natural flow of water sustains aquatic ecosystems that are central to our spirituality, our social and cultural economy and wellbeing. The rivers are the veins of Country, carrying water to sustain all parts of our sacred landscape. The wetlands are the kidneys, filtering the water as it passes through the land. First Nations Peoples have rights and a moral obligation to care for water under their law and customs. These obligations connect across communities and language groups, extending to downstream communities, throughout catchments and over connected aquifer and groundwater systems. The project partners acknowledge all of the Traditional Owners across Australia who care for the waterways that sustain our Country. We pay deepest respects to their Ancestors and Elders who have protected and maintained water resources for thousands of years, and passed on the knowledge, stories and lessons through the generations. We acknowledge the nations of Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations and Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations who continue to fight for their inherent right to water, and who had a pivotal role in creating and directing the National Cultural Flows Research Project. We thank the Murrawarri and Nari Nari Nations who worked tirelessly as part of the research team to develop the cultural flows assessment approaches for this project. This guide has been prepared for the Cultural Flows Planning and Research Committee as part of the National Cultural Flows Research Project, developed by and for First Nations with the aim of helping to embed First Nations’ water allocations in Australia’s water management framework. Funding for the Research Project has been generously provided by the Murray Darling Basin Authority, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office, the National Water Initiative, and the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

This baseline component is required to describe the Indigenous cultural water values and needs across Australia. Specifically, this involves: 1. A comprehensive reference (literature review) of known Indigenous uses and values of water in Australia and internationally. 2. A comprehensive review of projects and methodologies that have described cultural values of water. 3. Recommended needs and gaps of cultural flows research in the context of this research program. 4. Recommended and justified terminology for this Research Program. (National Native Title Council 2012) The need for the study arose because, over many decades of ongoing issues in Australian water management and the reiteration of the necessity of including Indigenous values in water management, there has been a singular failure to adequately define the cultural values of water. This lack of definition is compounded by a general lack of knowledge about patterns of Indigenous water use – ranging from past water practices and dependencies of pre‐contact Aboriginal people through to community water practices and needs in the present day (Jackson, Moggridge & Robinson 2010). Literature and documentary sources containing relevant information about Indigenous water use in Australia, past and present, have been summarised, and the distribution of the water bodies concerned has been mapped. This report is accompanied by a Microsoft Access database containing all of the examples summarised in the report. The database can be searched for specific information and patterns of data. The report summarises these sources for each State and Territory in turn. There are several recurring themes through this material. There is the strong cultural association of water sources with Aboriginal creation mythology, and their special association with the primary Creation Ancestor, the Rainbow Serpent and the basic creative duality of fresh and salt water. Many aspects of cultural knowledge relating to these matters are confidential and restricted to adults of one gender or the other. There is the fundamental, traditional economic focus of food sources and potable water, each with its accompanying cultural significance. There is accompanying technology in some places – fish traps, eel farms, and the like, as well as the permanent markers of extensive shell middens along coasts and river banks to show where people have traditionally camped together, collected and consumed food from the water. Throughout the country, special places near water have provided seasonal or occasional abundance which allowed large groups of people traditionally to gather together for ceremonial, social and economic purposes. There is the importance of rivers, streams and lakes as boundaries between tribes and nations, marking traditional country. The larger river systems like the Murray‐Darling were also transportation highways along which people have always travelled, with special cultural relationships defining travel and trading partnerships. The majority of the Australian reports reviewed note the importance of recognising the Indigenous values attached to water and of consultation with Aboriginal people. In particular it was noted that resources and species of high economic value to Western stakeholders do not always coincide with those of significance to Indigenous communities. Many of the reports, while stressing the importance of consultation, stress the shortcomings and failures of this process when not followed up with opportunities for Aboriginal people to be actively involved in the planning, monitoring and management of waterways. This is a reflection of the growing appreciation for the role Indigenous knowledge of the environment can inform management plans. The focus of Indigenous consultation is moving beyond simply avoiding negative impacts on Aboriginal communities to ensure environmental

Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

In particular, the Medical Entomology team wishes to thank the Department of Health for its ongoing support in regards to this important public health program including: o the Environmental Health Directorate; o the Communicable Disease Control Directorate; o Population Health Units/Area Health Services o PathWest; and o Communications Directorate. The Pathwest laboratory continued to have a significant involvement in the program through provision of laboratory services for key components of the surveillance program for detection of arboviruses of public health significance to the State. We also acknowledge and thank the Population Health Units and the Western Australian Country Health Service for their role in reporting and follow-up of human cases of disease, and especially the role of Local Governments in the management of mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. These organisations play an active role in the provision of data, case follow up investigations, care and bleeding of chickens for the sentinel chicken program, trapping of mosquitoes, mosquito control treatments and advice to the Western Australian community about disease risk through the media. In particular we thank Environmental Health Officers from the 139 Local Governments across WA, especially those within Contiguous Local Authority Groups (CLAGs), who respond to public complaints, undertake larval and adult mosquito surveys, and undertake mosquito control activities as part of their complex, integrated programs to manage the risks to public health and amenity within their regions.

  • Racist Structures and Ideologies Regarding Aboriginal People in Contemporary and Historical Australian Society
    Master Thesis In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science: Development and Rural Innovation Racist structures and ideologies regarding Aboriginal people in contemporary and historical Australian society Robin Anne Gravemaker Student number: 951226276130 June 2020 Supervisor: Elisabet Rasch Chair group: Sociology of Development and Change Course code: SDC-80436 Wageningen University & Research i Abstract Severe inequalities remain in Australian society between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. This research has examined the role of race and racism in historical Victoria and in the contemporary Australian government, using a structuralist, constructivist framework. It was found that historical approaches to governing Aboriginal people were paternalistic and assimilationist. Institutions like the Central Board for the Protection of Aborigines, which terrorised Aboriginal people for over a century, were creating a racist structure fuelled by racist ideologies. Despite continuous activism by Aboriginal people, it took until 1967 for them to get citizens’ rights. That year, Aboriginal affairs were shifted from state jurisdiction to national jurisdiction. Aboriginal people continue to be underrepresented in positions of power and still lack self-determination. The national government of Australia has reproduced historical inequalities since 1967, and racist structures and ideologies remain. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Elisabet Rasch, for her support and constructive criticism. I thank my informants and other friends that I met in Melbourne for talking to me and expanding my mind. Floor, thank you for showing me around in Melbourne and for your never-ending encouragement since then, via phone, postcard or in person. Duane Hamacher helped me tremendously by encouraging me to change the topic of my research and by sharing his own experiences as a researcher.
