The high standard of work provided by YMBBMAC has led to significant achievements for claimants. 2. Strategically, the organisation aims to build relationships in order to improve outcomes for its clients. Illustrating this, YMBBMAC is a member of the WA Chamber of Minerals and Energy and the WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 3. Working groups provide a system of decision-making that is effective, resilient, and has a high degree of community ownership. 4. Funding continues to limit the potential of the organisation. YMBBMAC can improve its performance and achieve agreed outcomes, with additional funding. 5. High level of activity in the Pilbara is demanding considerable resources from the organisation. In order to meet fully the demands of this historic expansion, YMBBMAC requires additional funding. ABOUT YMBBMAC The Yamatji Marlpa Barna Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation (YMBBMAC) is the native title representative body (NTRB) for native title claims in the Pilbara, Murchison and Gascoyne representative areas of Western Australia. WORKING GROUPS The use of working groups has set YMBBMAC apart in terms of its ability to operate efficiently, its support from its membership and its ability to produce successful, lasting agreements.

  • The Burrup Agreement: a Case Study in Future Act Negotiation
    The Burrup Agreement: a case study in future act negotiation by Frances Flanagan 1 1. Introduction The agreement for the acquisition of native title over areas of land on and around the Burrup Peninsula near Karratha in Western Australia is one of the most comprehensive of its kind. The Pilbara Native Title Service led the negotiations with the State of Western Australia in highly challenging circumstances: there were three overlapping and part-heard native title claims, the acquisition concerned an area of world-renowned heritage significance, the State party was a newly-elected Labor government and there were five proponent companies proposing multi-billion dollar investments. One of the first things that my colleagues at the Land Council and I did upon realising that we would be responsible for assisting in negotiations of such magnitude and complexity was to reach for a copy of Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh's paper on negotiating major project agreements using the 'Cape York Model.'2 Our immediate reaction was gratitude towards Professor O'Faircheallaigh for his excellent digestion of the issues and his articulation of a comprehensive model for pursuing major negotiated agreements. Our second reaction was grave concern: we clearly did not have the resources, time or in-house expertise to follow the Cape York Model. 3 What follows is a brief summary of the strategic and logistical preparation the Land Council undertook prior to the negotiations that enabled us to broker a comprehensive agreement with the State and, at the same time, increase the expertise and skills of Land Council staff, improve the 1 Frances Flanagan has been a Legal Officer with the Yamatji Marlpa Sana Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation for three years.

  • Early Texts and Other Sources
    7 Early texts and other sources Introduction In order to demonstrate that native title has survived, the court will require that the laws and customs of the claimant society be shown not only to have survived substantially uninterrupted but also to have remained ‘traditional’1 in their content. What exactly is to be understood by the use of the term ‘traditional’ has been subject to extensive debate.2 Most, if not all, of the ethnography relevant to a native title inquiry will demonstrate the fact of some form of change. This is unsurprising since few anthropologists would argue for an unchanging society. It is the degree and measure of the change against customary systems that is subject to contestation. In short, 1 ‘A traditional law or custom is one which has been passed from generation to generation of a society, usually by word of mouth and common practice. But in the context of the Native Title Act, “traditional” carries with it two other elements in its meaning. First, it conveys an understanding of the age of the traditions: the origins of the content of the law or custom concerned are to be found in the normative rules of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander societies that existed before the assertion of sovereignty by the British Crown. It is only those normative rules that are “traditional” laws and customs. Second, and no less important, the reference to rights or interests in land or waters being possessed under traditional laws acknowledged and traditional customs observed by the peoples concerned, requires that the normative system under which the rights and interests are possessed (the traditional laws and customs) is a system that has had a continuous existence and vitality since sovereignty.

MR P.C. TINLEY (Willagee) [2.50 pm]: I rise to conclude my brief contribution on the historic Constitution Amendment (Recognition of Aboriginal People) Bill 2015. Without rehashing it, for the benefit of anybody who was not in the chamber at the time I characterised the Aboriginal contribution to military service in Western Australia and Australia as being a significant contribution to progressing the identity of both Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people in creating a unified culture. I also noted with some gratitude that symbolism is important. The opening quote that I used was “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” I believe that we have progressed even in the time of this Parliament to being on the cusp of delivering a significant substantive arrangement beyond symbolism for the Indigenous land use agreements with the Noongar people at the National Native Title Tribunal. We look forward to making a substantive contribution to reconciliation beyond just the symbolism.

  • Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region
    Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region The Goldfields region of Western Australia is home to around 7,200 Aboriginal people who represent 12% of the region’s population.1 An estimated 2,900 people speak an Aboriginal language as a first language.2 Many of the remaining Aboriginal population speak an Aboriginal language as a second or subsequent language, are a partial speaker, recaller and/or speak an Aboriginal dialect of English or speak Standard Australian English. Identifying the languages and their dialects of the northern, western and southern districts of the region has proven to be difficult as there is meager historical linguistic material prior to 2011. Multiple forms of names are recorded in historical material and the relationships between the names needed to be investigated. However, Ngaanyatjarra and dialects, and Yankunytjatjarra as well as Walpiri and Pintupi from the Northern Territory have been well documented. Speakers of each of these languages are found in the Goldfields region. The southern and western Goldfields regions were heavily impacted during European settlement due to a number of mineral booms, in particular during initial gold rushes between 1890 and 1910. The region experienced an influx of around 20,000 people in a 2-year period during the first gold rushes at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. This boom decimated a number of Aboriginal populations through the spread of disease and starvation, competition for sparse water and food, and through massacres. Most Aboriginal people who survived the first wave of European settlement were relocated to the nine missions established in the region or were sent to other missions outside the area such as Mogumber Mission near Perth.
