Exploring Trauma, Cultural Heritage Values and Identity at Mapoon, a Former Mission Village in Western Cape York, Queensland Remembering the Mother Mission: Exploring Trauma, Cultural Heritage Values and Identity at Mapoon, a Former Mission Village in Western Cape York, Queensland. Mary-Jean Nancy Sutton B.Arts Hon.s A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Social Science Abstract In the middle of the night on 15 November, 1963 the Queensland State Government forcibly removed Indigenous families from their homes in Mapoon, a former Moravian (later Presbyterian) mission village in western Cape York, Queensland. This event coupled with the prior mission closure and the successive struggle against the Queensland State Government by Indigenous families to return to Mapoon were experiences that have shaped their collective and individual identity and relationships within and outside Mapoon. These events traumatised Indigenous families that belong to Mapoon. This thesis shows such trauma is still experienced and remembered today by Mapoon families and missionary families and influences how they interact, remember the mission time, and generate cultural heritage values. Mission time heritage in Mapoon is thus a form of ‘dark heritage’. This thesis is a covenantal archaeological study, documenting the cultural heritage values of Indigenous families and former missionary families who resided in the former Mapoon Mission and their relationship to remembered experiences of trauma and struggle with the Queensland State Government. Temporal focus is primarily the birth and death of the Mapoon Mission from 1891 to 1963 and the struggle for its resurrection by Indigenous families and some missionary families from 1963 to 1975. The thesis also documents the cultural heritage values of Indigenous families and surviving missionary families associated with Mapoon from 2010 to 2014. The thesis draws on different methods within archaeological practice (archival research, oral history, archaeological survey, ground- penetrating radar and interpretation) to document values expressed by Mapoon and missionary families through four case studies. These case studies include the documentation of the Mapoon Mission Cemetery, Mapoon Mission Compound, remains of mission time family homes, and expressions of value in the construction of monuments, commemorative acts and in town planning studies in Mapoon. The results of these investigations have provided new archaeological and historical information on mortuary traditions, cultural practices and interaction between missionaries and Indigenous families in western Cape York. Mapoon’s mission time cultural heritage is presented in this dissertation as a case study to explore how cultural heritage values are generated and to critique the significance assessment process in Australia. The dissertation contributes to existing research on missionisation in Australia through examining the relationships between missionary families and Indigenous families in Mapoon. In doing so it deconstructs social classifications of missionary vs Indigenous and “white fella vs black fella” as well as colonial representations of identity drawn in current historical and anthropological literature concerning the Mapoon Mission. This study concludes historical trauma from violence and dispossession, including the destruction of one’s home, affects wellbeing and is intricately connected to places of high cultural significance within Mapoon. This research explores how archaeological practice and other acts of commemoration and cultural heritage management has potential as catharsis for redressing trauma experienced in the past and may itself be a process of value creation. In this case study, Mapoon families’ most significant cultural heritage places are predominantly intangible forms of dark heritage interconnected to experiences of historical trauma. These places of experienced historical trauma are also used by Indigenous and missionary families to create and renew collective identity and kinship through archaeological practice, perform narratives and acts of commemoration. These places are also where Mapoon families and missionary families recreate new heritage through monuments and reinterpretation. The dissertation provides a research contribution through exploring the cultural heritage values of not only Indigenous families but missionary families who resided in the former mission village of Mapoon. Mapoon has been nominated as having potential national heritage value (Mulvaney, 1989). It is the first Moravian mission in Cape York and one of the oldest missions in Queensland. A complete archaeological survey of extant mission time heritage including areas of unmarked graves and cemeteries was undertaken in this study to document national heritage values. This thesis demonstrates through historical research, oral testimony and archaeological investigations the importance of Mapoon’s mission time heritage in Australia and its urgency for protection and further management. This study comments on the complexity of cultural heritage values and significance assessment process and critiques archaeological practice in this process.

    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

  • 7. Locating Seven Rivers
    7. Locating Seven Rivers Fiona Powell 1. Introduction In December 1890, while on patrol down the west coast of northern Cape York Peninsula (NCYP), accompanied by Senior-Constable Conroy and a few native troopers of the Thursday Island Water Police, Sub-Inspector Charles Savage visited ‘the Seven Rivers’.1 From this place, the party went south to the mouth of the Batavia (now Wenlock) River. There they met the chief or mamoose of the Seven Rivers tribe,2 a man identified as Tongambulo (variations Tong-ham-blow,3 Tongamblow4 and Tong-am-bulo5) and also known as Charlie in one account.6 At the time of this meeting, Sub-Inspector Savage was seeking another candidate for induction into government policies intended ‘to civilize the Natives of Cape York Peninsula’.7 The first NCYP Aboriginal person to have had this experience was Harry, also known as King Yarra-ham-quee, and described as the ‘mamoose of the Jardine River’.8 This man had been taken to Thursday Island earlier in the year: where he underwent a course of instruction and when he had sufficiently understood what was required of him was taken back and made king, his subjects and several visitors, Natives of Prince of Wales Island, being present.9 1 ‘Conciliating the Natives’, Torres Straits Pilot, 6 December 1890, and published in The Queenslander, Saturday 27 December 1890: 1216 [hereafter ‘Conciliating the Natives’ Torres Straits Pilot]. 2 Savage, Charles 1891, Letter to the Honourable John Douglas, Government Resident Thursday Island, dated 11 February 1891, Queensland State Archives, Item D 143032, File - Reserve.

  • Wishing on a Star”
    “Wishing on a Star” Epiphany of Our Lord Saturday and Sunday, January 6 and 7, 2018 All Services Sister Marianne Brock Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Camp Hill, Pennsylvania Isaiah 60:1-6; Ephesians 3:1-12; Matthew 2:1-12 You may or may not know that Pastor John Brock and I have what some might consider an unusually strong affinity for Walt Disney, the man, and Walt Disney World, the resort, so when I was sent the theme chosen for this week’s sermon, I had to blink back the Pixie Dust in my eyes. I even watched Pinocchio, from which we get the song “When You Wish Upon A Star. It was darker than I remembered, with lots of drinking and smoking and liberal use of the word “stupid.” I’m not sure it’s entirely appropriate for today’s young children … and it certainly wasn’t helpful in my sermon preparation. But on Monday evening, around 6:30, John and I were in our kitchen preparing our traditional New Year’s Day meal… and by “preparing,” I mean we were studying the Chinese take-out menu. Our dogs alerted us to something incredibly alarming: there was someone at our front door, and it was probably bad guys! (Our dogs are very concerned about bad guys.) No one uses our front door, not even us, but sure enough, there was a gentleman standing on our porch, and he was knocking on our door. He didn’t look like a bad guy, so I pulled the dog beds away from the door and unlocked it with the ancient skeleton key that came with it when it was installed 80 years ago.

As Pepita walked to the chapel, sadly, her cousin Pedro tried to cheer her up. 'Pepita', he said "I'm sure that even the smallest gift, given by someone who loves him will make Jesus happy." Pepita didn't know what she could give, so she picked a small handful of weeds from the roadside and made them into a a small bouquet. She felt embarrassed because she could only give this small present to Jesus. As she walked through the chapel to the altar, she remembered what Pedro had said.

  • 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).
