  • SOLONEC Shared Lives on Nigena Country
    Shared lives on Nigena country: A joint Biography of Katie and Frank Rodriguez, 1944-1994. Jacinta Solonec 20131828 M.A. Edith Cowan University, 2003., B.A. Edith Cowan University, 1994 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities (Discipline – History) 2015 Abstract On the 8th of December 1946 Katie Fraser and Frank Rodriguez married in the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Derby, Western Australia. They spent the next forty-eight years together, living in the West Kimberley and making a home for themselves on Nigena country. These are Katie’s ancestral homelands, far from Frank’s birthplace in Galicia, Spain. This thesis offers an investigation into the social history of a West Kimberley couple and their family, a couple the likes of whom are rarely represented in the history books, who arguably typify the historic multiculturalism of the Kimberley community. Katie and Frank were seemingly ordinary people, who like many others at the time were socially and politically marginalised due to Katie being Aboriginal and Frank being a migrant from a non-English speaking background. Moreover in many respects their shared life experiences encapsulate the history of the Kimberley, and the experiences of many of its people who have been marginalised from history. Their lives were shaped by their shared faith and Katie’s family connections to the Catholic mission at Beagle Bay, the different governmental policies which sought to assimilate them into an Australian way of life, as well as their experiences working in the pastoral industry.

  • Aboriginal Problem’: Controlling Interracial Marriage in Australia in the Late 19Th and Early 20Th Centuries
    Absorbing the ‘Aboriginal problem’: controlling interracial marriage in Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries Katherine Ellinghaus [A]ssimilation is our word. Many Aboriginals take it as meaning they are to be bred out. They wish to be a distinctive people … The desire of the Aboriginals to be a distinctive people is something we should respect.1 What did the word ‘assimilation’ really mean in the mouths of white Australian politi- cians when they referred to Aboriginal people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? This paper, part of a larger project which compares interracial marriages of white women and Indigenous men in Australia and the United States, begins from the assumption that umbrella terms such as ‘assimilation’ can mean different things in dif- ferent times and places. Comparative historians are urged not to assume that ‘because they bear the same label, ideas, institutions, or groups … perform the same function everywhere’.2 As this paper will show, such insights prove valuable when seeking to understand the particular policies aimed at Indigenous people in a unique settler society such as Australia. In Australia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, whites envisioned the ‘assim- ilation’ of Indigenous people in two very different ways. Some believed in the possibilities of teaching Indigenous people to live and support themselves as white people (‘cultural assimilation’), others focused on the loss of Indigenous physical char- acteristics through interracial relationships (‘biological absorption’). In most instances, however, the politicians, public servants and anthropologists involved in solving the ‘Aboriginal problem’ were cryptic when they referred to the future of Aboriginal peo- ples.

  • Never Forgotten Claire G
    Never Forgotten Claire G. Coleman I am haunted by a quote; it rattles around in the corners of my mind never leaving and always informing my work. Forgetting where it was from, I searched for documentary evidence of the words. I needed to know it was not a figment of my imagination. One day, I knew, I would need to prove these words were said. Those words appeared, eventually, in Broken Circles: Fragmenting Indigenous Families 1800 – 2000, by Anna Haebich [Fremantle Arts Centre Press, 2000]. In 1904 the Traveling Inspector of Aborigines in the Kimberly, James Isdell, said of Aboriginal women whose children had been stolen by the protectors: “they forget their children in 24 hours and as a rule [were] glad to be rid of them”. He was not the only coloniser to harbour such sentiment; similar statements can be found elsewhere by anyone willing to look. Belief that Aboriginal women were bad or careless mothers was used regularly to justify the genocidal policies that led to the stolen generations. Australia does not like thinking of genocide. When we think of genocide our minds go to Nazi Germany, or the Khmer Rouge; faraway places and their war crimes, crimes against humanity by people we can dismiss as “bad”. We do not generally, remember the genocide in Australia, we cannot accept genocide as home grown. When I say “we” here I am referring to the nation of Australia, not me, not other Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people are aware of genocide because we are survivors; and it can be argued that in Western Australia, where I was born, the hammer fell hardest.

  • Rivers of the Kimberley About the Kimberley Rivers
    Water notes WN35 August 2008 Water notes for river management Advisory notes for land managers on river and wetland restoration Rivers of the Kimberley About the Kimberley rivers The Fitzroy River by Luke Pen Western Australia’s Kimberley region has approximately 30 major rivers and many more tributaries and tidal creeks. Kimberley rivers are unique because of their relatively pristine nature. Unlike rivers in many other parts of Australia and the world, most Kimberley rivers are free flowing, their riverside vegetation is relatively intact, and water is not highly extracted or contaminated. In a few cases entire river catchments remain in an almost natural condition, free from significant human disturbance. Many Kimberley rivers are unique and represent important examples of some of Australia’s, and the world’s, last remaining natural river systems. They are, however, under increasing pressure from threats such as weeds, overgrazing, new roads, tourism, feral animals, increasing mining activity and inappropriate use and development. This water note describes eleven Kimberley rivers, providing information about their landscape, ecology, cultural significance and other notable features. 1. Aboriginal people and the Kimberley rivers Aboriginal people have lived in the Kimberley region for at least 40 000 years. Almost half of the Kimberley’s population is Aboriginal, with many people living within their traditional homelands in small-medium sized communities. Maintaining their responsibilities for country, maintaining clean and healthy water and preserving areas of cultural and conservation significance are important to Kimberley Aboriginal people. Waterways are an integral part of Aboriginal life and culture. Permanent and semi- permanent pools form a network of vital water resources for traditional and contemporary Aboriginal groups.

  • A Genocide Denied the ‘Half-Castes’ of Australia During the Stolen Generations of 1905-1970 As Genocide
    University of Canterbury A Genocide Denied The ‘half-castes’ of Australia during the Stolen Generations of 1905-1970 as genocide This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA Honours in History at the University of Canterbury. This dissertation is the result of my own work. Material from the published or unpublished work of other historians used in the dissertation is credited to the author in the footnote references. The dissertation is approximately 9568 words in length. Category One Dissertation Amy Louise Duff Supervisor: Associate Professor Lyndon Fraser HIST480 2016 1 Please note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this research contains names of deceased persons in writings or poems. 2 Abstract In the early 1990s the Wilson-Dodson enquiry was commissioned by the then Labour Government to investigate the issue of Aboriginal children being forcibly removed from their homes between 1900 and 1970. The children removed became known as the Stolen Generations. In 1997 the Wilson-Dodson enquiry published the findings in the Bringing Them Home Report which sparked intense public and academic debate around the issue of the forced removal of Aboriginal children, particularly whether it constituted genocide. In the wake of the report scholars investigated how the actions of the federal and state governments and their agencies relates to the 1949 United Nations definition of genocide. But this scholarship has not engaged specifically with the genocide of the ‘half-caste’ population. Apprehension around part-Aboriginal individuals arose in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century when many white Australians feared a growing ‘coloured’ population.
