It also affi rms the Government’s commitment to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, communities and individuals to bring about meaningful and practical change. The focus is on the everyday things that matter and make a lasting difference in everyone’s lives — good health, an education, a job, appropriate housing and infrastructure, safe and secure environments, children attending and achieving at school, economic and business opportunities, effective services and supports, and real hope and belief in opportunities for the future. The fi rst Annual Highlights Report was published in December 2010 with overall analyses showing decreasing rates of harm over time in several of the discrete Indigenous communities for hospital admissions for assault-related conditions and reported offences against the person. Annual comparisons also indicated positive changes in other areas of community wellbeing, with school attendance improving or stabilising and breaches of alcohol restrictions decreasing or remaining steady in many communities. This second Annual Highlights Report provides further evidence of this positive change, supported by the commencement of alcohol restrictions from December 2002 and the implementation of key initiatives such as the Cape York Welfare Reform Trial and the Remote Indigenous Land and Infrastructure Program Offi ce. This Report builds on the detailed trend analysis provided in the fi rst Annual Highlights Report, showing progress in key indicators of harm and wellbeing over time as well as providing annual and quarterly data. The result is that in many communities, 2010/11 annual rates of hospital admissions for assault-related conditions and rates of reported offences against the person are similar to those reported in 2009/10. Signifi cant decreases in annual rates of offences against the person from 2009/10 to 2010/11 were also reported for some communities. Over the longer term, decreasing trends in hospital admissions for assault- related conditions and reported offences against the person were evident in a number of communities, with two communities showing evidence of decreasing trends in both of these indicators. Rates of charges resulting in convictions for breaches of alcohol restrictions decreased in many communities over the last two years with six of the nine communities which reported signifi cant increases in their rate of charges resulting in a conviction between 2007/08 and 2008/09 experiencing signifi cant decreases between 2009/10 and 2010/11. ii Annual Highlights Report for Queensland’s Discrete Indigenous Communities July 2010 – June 2011 Furthermore, in 2010/11, an additional four communities reported rates of charges resulting in a conviction which were signifi cantly lower than their 2009/10 rates. Student attendance rates in Semester 1 2011 show variable outcomes when compared with the previous year, with increases observed in four communities and decreases observed in another four communities. Over the longer term, Semester 1 student attendance rates have improved in two communities and have been maintained in most others. Despite these solid results, many discrete Indigenous communities have levels of harm much higher than the State rate, requiring an ongoing commitment to investment and action on the part of all partners to bring about reall change. While unquestionably change is afoot, this effort needs to bee embedded to bring about long-term sustainable outcomes for Indigenous Queenslanders. This Report does recognise the change that is occurring and is full of good news stories which are highlighted in the Government Champions’ reports for each community. These reports show the excellent work that is being achieved on the ground to drive change and growth in communities. Cherbourg and Napranum, for example, recently achieved success in the 2011 Queensland Reconciliation Awards. The Cherbourg Historical Precinct Group Inc was awarded the Premier’s Reconciliation Award for the Ration Shed Museum, which offers tours and educational programs for visitors to the community. The Napranum Parents and Learning Group was awarded a Reconciliation Award in the Community Organisation category for theireiirr signifi cant work with parents and families in developing and buildingding vital literacy and numeracy skills. Like much of Queensland, a number of Indigenous communities were affected by the natural disasters in late 2010 and early 2011. The way communities banded together to support each other and recover was inspiring, and shows again the results that can be achieved by working in partnership. I look forward to continuing to do so with all Indigenous Queenslanders to make a lasting difference in their lives and communities.

    EUROCENTRIC VALUES AT PLAY MODDING THE COLONIAL FROM THE INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE RHETT LOBAN AND THOMAS APPERLEY Indigenous people and cultures are rarely included in digital games, and if they are it is often in a rather thoughtless manner. The indigenous peoples and cultures of many parts of the world have been portrayed in digital games in several ways that show little respect or understanding of the important issues these populations face. For example, in the Australian-made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Electronic Arts, 2002), Australian Aboriginal people are completely absent, replaced by anthropomorphized indigenous animals some of whom wear traditional face paint, while the plot involves rescuing other animals from the “dreamtime.” So while a secularized white settler version of Aboriginal culture is a core part of the game, the people are absent. The controversial mobile game Survival Island 3: Australia Story (NIL Entertainment, 2015), was removed from the Google Play and Apple stores in January 2016, largely because of an online petition that was concerned the game encouraged violence against indigenous Australians. The game portrayed Aboriginal people as “savages” who contributed to the difficulty of surviving in the Australian outback. Other games have appropriated indigenous iconography and culture, like Mark of Kri (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2002) which used traditional Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) facial tattoo or Tā moko on characters in the game. These examples are disappointing, and seem to represent a common 1 occurrence in commercial non-indigenous media. However, there have also recently been a number of critically acclaimed commercial gaming projects which deal with indigenous culture and issues from an indigenous perspective, for example the game Never Alone/Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (E-Line Media, 2014), made by Upper One Games in partnership with 2 Alaska’s Cook Inlet Tribal Council.

  • Community Engagement Guidelines Coen
    COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GUIDELINES COEN The Commission would like to thank the Local Commissioners for providing advice and guidance into the development of this document in regard to their specific communities. The Commission also wishes to acknowledge receiving information and support to produce this document from partner Queensland and Australian Government agencies and departments. Page 2 The Commission recognises we are visitors to the country we travel across and work in and that many of our Local Commissioners are Traditional Owners and Elders of their communities. The Commission acknowledges and pays our respects to the Traditional Owners, Elders and Teachers of these lands. To those of the past whose unseen hands guide the actions and decisions of the Commissioners today; to those of the present working for their communities and setting an example for the next generation and to those of the future, the Elders not yet born who will inherit the legacy of our efforts. Page 3 COMMUNITY PROTOCOLS Prior to visiting Coen it is important that one has some knowledge of its history along with an overview of how to engage with members of the Aboriginal community. The need for protocols is not solely an Indigenous or Aboriginal issue. Community protocols establish modes of behaviour and communication which demonstrate respect for individual residents and the diversity of other cultures. The Australian Aboriginal culture differs significantly from the Australian non- Aboriginal culture. It is therefore essential to understand the relevant cultural disparities and protocols in order to gain respect and effectively engage with the Aboriginal community. The appreciation of cultural morays including understanding the position and status of people within the local Aboriginal community assists in successfully engaging with Indigenous peoples.

AIEF is an excellent example of how individuals and corporate organisations can make a difference to the lives of Indigenous children by facilitating access to educational opportunities that would not otherwise be available to them, and to do so in an efficient framework that provides clear, transparent and regular reporting. This initiative also benefits non-Indigenous children in our schools by providing the opportunity for our non-Indigenous students to form bonds of friendship with, and cultural understanding of, their Indigenous classmates. In this way, we are together working towards a brighter future for all Australians and empowering Indigenous children to have real choices in life.

  • Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1
    ‘Socialist paradise’ or ‘inhospitable island’? Visitor responses to Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s1 Toby Martin Tourists visiting Queensland’s Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s followed a well-beaten path. They were ferried there in a launch, either from a larger passenger ship moored in deeper water, or from Townsville on the mainland. Having made it to the shallows, tourists would be carried ‘pick a back’ by a ‘native’ onto a ‘palm-shaded’ beach. Once on the grassy plains that stood back from the beach, they would be treated to performances such as corroborees, war dances and spear-throwing. They were also shown the efforts of the island’s administration: schools full of happy children, hospitals brimming with bonny babies, brass band performances and neat, tree-fringed streets with European- style gardens. Before being piggy-backed to their launches, the tourist could purchase authentic souvenirs, such as boomerangs and shields. As the ship pulled away from paradise, tourists could gaze back and reflect on this model Aboriginal settlement, its impressive ‘native displays’, its ‘efficient management’ and the ‘noble work’ of its staff and missionaries.2 By the early 1920s, the Palm Island Aboriginal reserve had become a major Queensland tourist destination. It offered tourists – particularly those from the southern states or from overseas – a chance to see Aboriginal people and culture as part of a comfortable day trip. Travellers to and around Australia had taken a keen interest in Aboriginal culture and its artefacts since Captain Cook commented on the ‘rage for curiosities amongst his crew’.3 From the 1880s, missions such as Lake Tyers in Victoria’s Gippsland region had attracted 1 This research was undertaken with the generous support of the State Library of NSW David Scott Mitchell Fellowship, and the ‘Touring the Past: History and Tourism in Australia 1850-2010’ ARC grant, with Richard White.

  • 82 3.3.4.4.3 Ecogeographic Studies of the Cranial Shape The
    82 3.3.4.4.3 Ecogeographic studies of the cranial shape The measurement of the human head of both the living and dead has long been a matter of interest to a variety of professions from artists to physicians and latterly to anthropologists (for a review see Spencer 1997c). The shape of the cranium, in particular, became an important factor in schemes of racial typology from the late 18th Century (Blumenbach 1795; Deniker 1898; Dixon 1923; Haddon 1925; Huxley 1870). Following the formulation of the cranial index by Retzius in 1843 (see also Sjovold 1997), the classification of humans by skull shape became a positive fashion. Of course such classifications were predicated on the assumption that cranial shape was an immutable racial trait. However, it had long been known that cranial shape could be altered quite substantially during growth, whether due to congenital defect or morbidity or through cultural practices such as cradling and artificial cranial deformation (for reviews see (Dingwall 1931; Lindsell 1995). Thus the use of cranial index of racial identity was suspect. Another nail in the coffin of the Cranial Index's use as a classificatory trait was presented in Coon (1955), where he suggested that head form was subject to long term climatic selection. In particular he thought that rounder, or more brachycephalic, heads were an adaptation to cold. Although it was plausible that the head, being a major source of heat loss in humans (Porter 1993), could be subject to climatic selection, the situation became somewhat clouded when Beilicki and Welon demonstrated in 1964 that the trend towards brachycepahlisation was continuous between the 12th and 20th centuries in East- Central Europe and thus could not have been due to climatic selection (Bielicki & Welon 1964).
