It also aimed to return information to the knowledge holders for the purposes of strengthening Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing. This study is presented as a journey, with the oral story-telling traditions of the Larrakia and Warumungu embedded and laced throughout. The kinship system is unpacked in detail, and knowledge holders explain its benefits in their lives along with their support for sharing this knowledge with social workers.

  • An Essential Dichotomy in Australian Kinship Tony Jefferies
    11 Close–Distant: An Essential Dichotomy in Australian Kinship Tony Jefferies Abstract This chapter looks at the evidence for the close–distant dichotomy in the kinship systems of Australian Aboriginal societies. The close– distant dichotomy operates on two levels. It is the distinction familiar to Westerners from their own culture between close and distant relatives: those we have frequent contact with as opposed to those we know about but rarely, or never, see. In Aboriginal societies, there is a further distinction: those with whom we share our quotidian existence, and those who live at some physical distance, with whom we feel a social and cultural commonality, but also a decided sense of difference. This chapter gathers a substantial body of evidence to indicate that distance, both physical and genealogical, is a conception intrinsic to the Indigenous understanding of the function and purpose of kinship systems. Having done so, it explores the implications of the close–distant dichotomy for the understanding of pre-European Aboriginal societies in general—in other words: if the dichotomy is a key factor in how Indigenes structure their society, what does it say about the limits and integrity of the societies that employ that kinship system? 363 SKIN, KIN AND CLAN Introduction Kinship is synonymous with anthropology. Morgan’s (1871) Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family is one of the founding documents of the discipline. It also has an immediate connection to Australia: one of the first fieldworkers to assist Morgan in gathering his data was Lorimer Fison, who, later joined by A.

  • Grandparents & Grandfriends
    (sample letter to parents – on school letterhead) Grandparents & Grandfriends Day Friday, October 16, 12:30–3:00 pm Dear Parents, Grandparents and other older adults can be very important people in children’s lives. Children feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when they know that people in their extended family and community are interested in their education. So, we’re having a special celebration! Grandparents & Grandfriends Day recognizes the importance of our heritage, our community, and relationships across generations. We’re inviting the grandparents of our students to the event on Friday, October 16 from 12:30–3:00 pm. This event is intended for children and their grandparents/stepgrandparents or a special “grandfriend.” Sorry – our space is limited, so parents and siblings cannot attend this event. We understand that all children don’t have grandparents, and that some grandparents will be unable to attend. We encourage these children to bring another special older adult – a family friend, other relative like an aunt or uncle, or a neighbor. If no one is available, we are inviting some older adults from a local seniors group to act as “grandfriends” to students. Some children are also happy to share their grandparent with a classmate. If you have questions about who to invite or arranging for a grandfriend, call the event coordinator, Tina Kovalyk, at (333) 333-3333, or talk with your child’s teacher. We ask you to: 1. Give the enclosed information sheet to the grandparent(s) or grandfriend you’re inviting. 2. Complete the enclosed RSVP form. Please print clearly – we need the information to make name tags.

Unbeknownst to many, however, there was a campaign in the 1920s and 1930s to change Father’s Day and Mother’s Day to Parents’ Day, so that fathers and mothers would be honored on the same day. The cam- paign, based in New York City, was essentially a debate about the cultural po- sition of parents in American society. How the campaign came to be—and why, in the end, it failed—illustrate the political maneuvering that character- izes people’s efforts to draw symbolic boundaries around fatherhood and motherhood.

  • Happy Mother's Day, Grandma! Little Did We Realize When We Visited My
    Happy Mother ’s Day, Grandma! Page 1 of 3 Happy Mother ’s Day, Grandma! Little did we realize when we visited my Aunt Ruby last week in North Little Rock, Arkansas that it was going to be the last opportunity this side of Heaven to see her. My mom has been missing her and although she was under the weather herself, she had this very strong urge to have us drop her off to spend the week with her precious sister. My mom called at 4:30 Thursday morning just before I left for the National Day of Prayer meeting here at Christchurch to inform me of the passing of Aunt Ruby. All day long memories of our very special aunt have been flooding my mind. Aunt Ruby was academically challenged, physically challenged and had a severe impediment of speech. My grandfather and grandmother tried sending her to more than one school, but every time the teachers sent her back home saying they were unable to teach her. My loving grandparents were heartbroken as other children would make fun of her. The final straw that broke the attempts to formally educate her came when her frail body could not sustain the see-saw ride and she fell, breaking her fragile little arm. She never saw the end of her second grade…and that’s about how we knew her for the rest of our lives, locked- in at grade two. But at home, she found a haven of love and comfort. Recently, I was looking at pictures of my mom, Aunt Florene, Aunt Pearlene and Aunt Ruby when they were little girls in the Great Depression.
