It would be impossible to mention all who have assisted me during my lifetime, and in the writing of my thesis. Still I will try to do everyone justice in this short summary. Firstly, I want to thank my Creator and Ancestors, as my prayers always seem to be answered. To my amazing, strong political and cultural family, you are all “TOO DEADLY”. My Grandparents Alf and May Stanley and family, have had a profound effect on my life, thank you for being there. I expecially want to thank my Parents: Grace and Archie Smallwood for teaching me how to be an Activist from a very young age.Thank you to all of my siblings and offspring as there are way too many to mention. What can I say? Thank you for being there through thick and thin and supporting me on my long journey, both in life and with this thesis. A particular thank you to my Eldest sister, Dorothy, her husband Sammy, and their family, my achievements would not be possible without your strong cultural and family support to myself, my children and my grandchildren. Thank you to my Sister Jeanette Wyles for your honesty when proof reading my work over the years, especially for telling me like it is. To my brother Alfred Smallwood, after 40yrs of alcoholism and now six years sober, you are certainly an inspiration- keep strong. Thank you for making our dream a reality, and for working tirelessly in our community, with those who are less well off. Keep cleansing our spirits. A special thank you to my sister Lyn Munns for your prayer chain and prayers, I need all the help I can get. I especially want to thank my Principal Supervisor, Professor Rick Speare, both to you and your wonderful wife, Dr Kerry Kelly. You have both played a major role in my life over the past 30 yrs. I am deeply grateful, as you continue to advocate for our community in “Closing the Gap” and you are a constant inspiration. vii To my other Supervisor, Dr Jenni Judd, to both you and your wonderful partner Louise Scanlan, who have kept me fully nourished with healthy food, occasionally your lovely processed grape juice, and a comfortable bed, a heartfelt thanks. Also I am eternally grateful for those many long hours in your peaceful home during your supervision of this thesis. I am so grateful to my research mentor and friend – Dr Gary MacLennan, what can I say? Apart from being so emotional and humorous for the long hours you and your wonderful family spent with me over the years. Gary assisted me to access documents and references. However, his major academic role was helping me build my research capacity in critical realism, the theoretical foundation of the methodology of my thesis.To my administration ‘guru’ - Rebecca Smith, with all of your children, thank you so much for being on call 24 hrs a day, with no pay! Marcia Croucher, thank you for your friendship for the past 25years and for all of yours and Judy Woosnam’s expertise and support from the Anton Breinl Centre. Your contributions have been invaluable Dr Ian Wronski and Maggie Grant who I met in the Kimberley’s 35 years ago, thank you Ian for advising me to go to that Nookenbah demonstration in WA, where they locked me up, seriously thanks for the memories from Broome Aboriginal Medical Service. Also to Karen Lusk, thank you for your toughness and guidance, during my time whilst employed at James Cook University. To BIRC: Whilst working on this thesis I was fortunate to be a Team Investigator on the Building Indigenous Research Capacity Grant (BIRC; NHMRC-431504) at James Cook University from 2007-2012. The BIRC grant had three objectives: 1) to build the research capacity of a cohort of 13 (expanding to 18) Indigenous researchers based in Northern Australia, South Australia and NSW;2) to establish a network to promote Indigenous health research and build capacity in a number of Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services Council; South Australia Health Council and Waminda (South Coast Women’s Health and Welfare Aboriginal Corporation) who were already involved in Indigenous and population health research; and 3) to investigate and analyse models of how Universities can best build research capacity in Indigenous population health researchers. As a result of BIRC, which provided additional monetary support, research training and mentoring and support from Dr Jenni Judd, I was able to take advantage of some study funding of $12,500 to support my study needs. I was also supported to apply for a PHCRED (Primary Health Care Research Education and Development) grant through Mt Isa Centre for Rural and viii Remote Research. As a Kalkadoon descendant (the other part of my heritage) I was eligible to apply for this grant. I was successful in gaining this grant which enabled me to employ Dr Gary MacLennan as a research officer, and to work full time on my thesis for 3 months. Gary was able to offer research capacity training and development by assisting me to access documents and references; and to develop my capacity in Critical realism as an important theoretical framework in which to position my research. These additional resources contributed positively to my progress in completing my PhD. To my Elders: Dorothy and Sam Savage, Aunty Renata Prior, Aunty Jean Walker, Aunty Dorothy Murphy, Aunty Josie Sailor (and your daughter, Deanne), Dr Ernie Hoolihan and your deceased wife Aunty Maude, Mr Jim Gaston, Aunty Phyllis Nuggins, Uncle David Tapim and Aunty Mary Tapim (Deceased), Pop Eric and Bessie Lymburner (Deceased). A big thank you for your support, language, culture, politics, and stories over the years. To my Friends: Thank you to Mrs Karel Gallagher nee Spina, your three sons Mario, Michael, Marty and Mr Joe Spina for giving me my first job at the age of 14yrs and for our continued friendship over the years. To Sister Shereen Malamoo, thanks sis, for all of those years of jazz when life was down. Dr Betty McLellan, thank you for your support and healing over the last 30 years Thanks also to Randal Ross, my Red Dust Healing Brother! Sponsors in-kind and/or financial: I would like to make a particular mention and thanks to the Building Indigenous Research Capacity (BIRC) NHMRC project and my fellow BIRC Scholars for their peer support, research training, mentoring, and the Internal grant support.

Protection & Assimilation Policies Have communities survived the removal of children? The systematic removal and cultural genocide of children has an intergenerational, devastating effect on families and communities. Even Aboriginal people put into the Reserves and Missions under the Protectionist Policies would hide their children in swamps or logs. Families and communities would colour their faces to make them darker. Not that long after the First Fleet arrived in 1788, a large community of mixed ancestry children could be found in Sydney. They were named ‘Friday’, ‘Johnny’, ‘Betty’, and denied by their white fathers. Below is a writing by David Collins who witnessed this occurring: “The venereal disease also has got among them, but I fear our people have to answer for that, for though I believe none of our women had connection with them, yet there is no doubt that several of the Black women had not scrupled to connect themselves with the white men. Of the certainty of this extraordinary instance occurred. A native woman had a child by one of our people. On its coming into the world she perceived a difference in its colour, for which not knowing how to account, she endeavoured to supply by art what she found deficient in nature, and actually held the poor babe, repeatedly over the smoke of her fire, and rubbed its little body with ashes and dirt, to restore it to the hue with which her other children has been born.

We held a wake in her honour at the Pioneers Memorial Garden in Kings Park; sent condolence letters and cards to her family; placed a notice in the West Australian Newspaper and produced a special edition of Inzert to commemorate her efforts. Marg was with us at our Christmas event in December. I sat at the same table as Larraine McLean, Marg and she seemed to be enjoying the fellowship and fun around her. Marg, as President always, participated in the Christmas Bring and Buy which was a huge success. Delicious Christmas fare was supplied by members that was quickly bought by other members, friends and guests. It is consoling that Marg’s last time with us seemed to be such a positive event for her. In January we heard of the death of Hariette Yeckel.

Please allow at least 24 hours for your instructor to respond to your emails. Class Details Fall 2017 Anthropology of Indigenous Australia Tuesday 12:30 – 3:30pm 5 September to 12 December Room 202 NYU Sydney Academic Centre Science House: 157-161 Gloucester Street, The Rocks 2000 Prerequisites None. Class This course offers an introduction to some of the classical and current issues in the Description anthropology of Indigenous Australia. The role of anthropology in the representation and governance of Indigenous life is itself an important subject for anthropological inquiry, considering that Indigenous people of Australia have long been the objects of interest and imagination by outsiders for their cultural formulations of kinship, ritual, art, gender, and politics. These representations—in feature films about them (such as Rabbit-Proof Fence and Australia), New Age Literature (such as Mutant Message Down Under), or museum exhibitions (such as in the Museum of Sydney or the Australian Museum)—are now also in dialogue with Indigenous forms of cultural production, in genres as diverse as film, television, drama, dance, art and writing. The course will explore how Aboriginal people have struggled to reproduce themselves and their traditions on their own terms, asserting their right to forms of cultural autonomy and self-determination. Through the examination of ethnographic and historical texts, films, archives and Indigenous life-writing accounts, we will consider the ways in which Aboriginalities are being challenged and constructed in contemporary Australia.

  • Essay: Trapped in the Aboriginal Reality Show
    Essay: Trapped in the Aboriginal reality show Author: Marcia Langton ean Baudrillard generated international controversy when he described in his essay ‘War Porn’ the way images from Abu Graib prison in Iraq and other J‘consensual and televisual’ violence were used in the aftermath to September 11, 2001. Strong words – perversity, vileness – sparked in his brief, acute analysis: ‘The worst is that it all becomes a parody of violence, a parody of the war itself, pornography becoming the ultimate form of the abjection of war which is unable to be simply war, to be simply about killing, and instead turns itself into a grotesque infantile reality‐show, in a desperate simulacrum of power. These scenes are the illustration of a power, without aim, without purpose, without a plausible enemy, and in total impunity. It is only capable of inflicting gratuitous humiliation.’ This made me think about the everyday suffering of Aboriginal children and women, the men who assault and abuse them, and the use of this suffering as a kind of visual and intellectual pornography in Australian media and public debates. The very public debate about child abuse is like Baudrillard’s ‘war porn’. It has parodied the horrible suffering of Aboriginal people. The crisis in Aboriginal society is now a public spectacle, played out in a vast ‘reality show’ through the media, parliaments, public service and the Aboriginal world. This obscene and pornographic spectacle shifts attention away from everyday lived crisis that many Aboriginal people endure – or do not, dying as they do at excessive rates. This spectacle is not a new phenomenon in Australian public life, but the debate about ‘Indigenous affairs’ has reached a new crescendo, fuelled by the accelerated and uncensored exposé of the extent of Aboriginal child abuse.

  • A Thesis Submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020
    SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER – THE WATER WAYS A thesis submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the acculturation of the Australian landscape by the First Nations people of Australia who named it, mapped it and used tangible and intangible material property in designing their laws and lore to manage the environment. This is taught through song, dance, stories, and paintings. Through the tangible and intangible knowledge there is acknowledgement of the First Nations people’s knowledge of the water flows and rivers from Carpentaria to Goolwa in South Australia as a cultural continuum and passed onto younger generations by Elders. This knowledge is remembered as storyways, songlines and trade routes along the waterways; these are mapped as a narrative through illustrations on scarred trees, the body, engravings on rocks, or earth geographical markers such as hills and physical features, and other natural features of flora and fauna in the First Nations cultural memory. The thesis also engages in a dialogical discourse about the paradigm of 'ecological arrogance' in Australian law for water and environmental management policies, whereby Aqua Nullius, Environmental Nullius and Economic Nullius is written into Australian laws. It further outlines how the anthropocentric value of nature as a resource and the accompanying humanistic technology provide what modern humans believe is the tool for managing ecosystems. In response, today there is a coming together of the First Nations people and the new Australians in a shared histories perspective, to highlight and ensure the protection of natural values to land and waterways which this thesis also explores.

  • Indigenous Welfare Quarantining in the Northern Territory and Cape York
    Balayi: Culture, Law and Colonialism – Volume 10 THE RETURN TO THE LEGAL AND CITIZENSHIP VOID: INDIGENOUS WELFARE QUARANTINING IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY AND CAPE YORK THALIA ANTHONY Introduction This article will suggest that the universal quarantining of Indigenous people‟s social security in Northern Territory communities is a departure from Indigenous people‟s citizenship rights. The Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment (Welfare Payment Reform) Act 2007 (Cth) („Social Security Amendment Act’), which is part of the Commonwealth‟s Northern Territory „emergency‟ measures, represents a return to a historical legal void where Indigenous people had neither rights to their culture nor citizenship rights. The Northern Territory policy, referred to broadly as the „Northern Territory Intervention‟ will be compared to the Commonwealth and State welfare reforms in Cape York, Queensland. Welfare quarantining in Cape York applies to an individual who fails a „responsibility‟ test. It is distinct from the blanket approach to Indigenous welfare recipients in Northern Territory communities. Nonetheless, both systems apply distinctly to Indigenous people and require the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth). Both curtail citizenship rights and deny capacities for Indigenous communities to develop their own strategies or economies. In essence, they represent the reemergence of a legal void between Anglo-Australian and Indigenous laws that is filled by paternal state policies. The recurring historical legal void For many years colonial and „post‟(neo)-colonial laws placed Indigenous people in a legal void. Indigenous people were neither allowed to maintain their own Indigenous laws nor to acquire a citizenship status in line with other Australians.

  • Balboa Filmography
    BALBOA STUDIO FILMOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION This work presents filmography data from the Balboa studio, owned and operated by the Horkheimer Brothers at Long Beach, California, from June 1913 to March 1918. It is divided into four sections : 1. Filmography classified by title 2. Filmography classified by US exchange 3. List of actors, with associated filmography 4. List of directors, with associated filmography. The research was conducted within the following archives, which I gratefully thank : Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal (Paris) British Film Institute Library (London) Free Library (Philadelphia) Library of Congress (Washington) Long Beach Public Library (Long Beach) Margaret Herrick Library (Beverly Hills) New York Public Performing Arts Library (New York City) Some of the consulted periodicals were English, most of them were American. Since the Balboa studio was fully independent and without any long-term connection with a large US exchange company, it must be emphasized that some pictures, including features, never got a national release. Some of them were presented in England, but not in the US, some others probably only knew a limited and regional release. For example, this is the case of the first five-reel feature directed by Henry King, The Brand of Man (1915), totally unknown in every periodical listed below, and therefore also unknown from the AFI Catalog. It is nevertheless certain that all the pictures mentioned in this document had actually been produced. Two picture mentioned by the AFI Catalog (The Policewoman and The Explorer) have not been included here, because most probably these projects never reached the production phase. The list of actors which is presented here included every man, woman and child known to have been connected with Balboa at any time during their carrier.
