I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Some will know from recent communication that the NQLC Board are working toward a restructure of NQLC’s current governance model and corporate structure. This is in order to accommodate the long term goals of the Board, which is to form a new economic development and community service function for the NQLC. With NQLC assisting 53 native title consent determinations in the last 22 years, it seems only fitting for the Land Council to move in this direction. Over recent months NQLC’s Executive Committee have been holding community engagement meetings (‘roadshows’) throughout the representative region. During the roadshows the Executive Committee consistently received overwhelming support for a restructure and name change of the NQLC, and for the members to be involved in the co-development of the new structure. For that reason the NQLC intend to host Land Summits in both Cairns and Townsville in April/May of this year for its members. These Summits give the IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS: TOP (L-R): Gary Mooney, George NQLC Board the opportunity to present its proposed structure and governance Tonga, Angie Akee and Dennis Mooney, Yuwibara Native Title Consent model for discussion and feedback with the members.

This is to be held toward the end of June 2020, prior to the NQLC’s Annual General Meeting. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the Yuwibara People on their recent Native Title Consent Determination. On Tuesday 25 February 2020, at a Federal Court Hearing held in Mackay, the Yuwibara People were rightfully recognised as the traditional owners of their lands in the Mackay region. I was honoured to have been present for this immense achievement and on behalf of the Board, wish to congratulate the Yuwibara People. I would also like to acknowledge the NQLC staff who worked on the claim, particularly Nigel Hales (previous Acting Principal Legal Officer), Greg Bell (Legal Officer), Pheobe Mawby-Smart (Legal Officer), Kelly Stewart (Staff Anthropologist) ,Dr Charles Wilde (Staff Anthropologist) and Lotu Kimiia (Project Officer). North Queensland Land Council is proud to able to play a small part in helping traditional owners achieve the recognition they deserve. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this edition of Message Stick.

Future Act Mining and Exploration Unit Written by: Julia (Jules) Taylor Senior Legal Officer-Coordinator, FAME Unit The FAME Unit had a busy start to 2020 with no real break over the holiday period in receiving future act notices and continuing to provide direct advice and representation to many of our client groups in respect of these future act notifications, negotiations and implementation of agreements. FAME has received an increasing number of requests for assistance relating to cultural heritage. When assessing future act notices it is often the activity that has the biggest impact and not the legal interest created by the future act. Under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) (ACHA) a person carrying out an act (such as this future act) must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm cultural heritage. This is called the ‘cultural heritage duty of care’. NQLC assists many groups within our region to provide facilitation and legal assistance in negotiating Cultural Heritage and Management Agreements (CHMA) or Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMP). If there is anything that your PBC receives that you think would require a cultural heritage agreement under the ACHA, we encourage you to contact the FAME Unit at [email protected].

    Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

    Traditional Language Used in Production

    Traditional Language Used in Production 75 Traditional Language Used in Production There were several dialects spoken within the Border Rivers and Gwydir catchments. They included the Gamilaraay, Yuwalaraay and Yuwalayaay dialects as spoken by members of the Kamilaroi (Gomeroi) nation. The Nganyaywana language was spoken by members of the Anaiwan (or Eneewin) nation, whose land extends south from the border with the Banbai nation (near Guyra) towards Uralla and westward towards Tingha. Other notable languages within the area included Yukumbal (Jukumbal), from the Bundarra/Tingha/Inverell area, and Ngarabal, which was spoken around the Glen Innes area. This book uses and provides information on a few of the dialects spoken within the catchment. It is not intended for this book to be a language reference book, but the use of language names is included to help keep our language alive and for educational purposes. In some cases Aboriginal words have not been included as it has not been possible to collect detailed information on the relevant dialects. This book uses words and references primarily relating to the Gamilaraay, Yuwalaraay, Yuwalayaay, Banbai and Nganyaywana dialects (White 2010 pers. comm.).

    Cambridge Imperial & Post-Colonial Studies INTIMACIES OF VIOLENCE IN THE SETTLER COLONY ECONOMIES OF DISPOSSESSION AROUND THE PACIFIC RIM EDITED BY PENELOPE EDMONDS & AMANDA NETTELBECK Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

    Traditional Wiradjuri Culture

    Traditional Wiradjuri Culture By Paul greenwood I would like to acknowledge the Wiradjuir Elders, past and present, and thank those who have assisted with the writing of this book. A basic resource for schools made possible by the assistance of many people. Though the book is intended to provide information on Wiradjuri culture much of the information is generic to Aboriginal culture. Some sections may contain information or pictures from outside the Wiradjuri Nation. Traditional Wiradjuri Culture Wiradjuri Country There were many thousands of people who spoke the Wiradjuri language, making it the largest nation in NSW. The Wiradjuri people occupied a large part of central NSW. The southern border was the Murray River from Albury upstream towards Tumbarumba area. From here the border went north along the edges of the mountains, past Tumut and Gundagai to Lithgow. The territory continued up to Dubbo, then west across the plains to the Willandra creek near Mossgiel. The Booligal swamps are near the western border and down to Hay. From Hay the territory extended across the Riverina plains passing the Jerilderie area to Albury. Wiradjuri lands were known as the land of three rivers; Murrumbidgee (Known by its traditional Wiradjuri name) Gulari (Lachlan) Womboy (Macquarie) Note: The Murrumbidgee is the only river to still be known as its Aboriginal name The exact border is not known and some of the territories overlapped with neighbouring groups. Places like Lake Urana were probably a shared resource as was the Murray River. The territory covers hills in the east, river floodplains, grasslands and mallee country in the west.

  • Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1

    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.
