  • You Can't Say That!
    You can’t say that! HINTS AND TIPS Artwork: ‘Rhythm of Knowledge’ Josie is from the Gumbaynggirr Nation (the mid-North Coast of NSW). The artwork tells the story of Josie’s interpretation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students traversing higher education in both undergraduate and postgraduate University degrees. The artwork portrays a symbolic design featuring a Southern Cross Star cluster and a metaphoric ancient body of knowledge travelling across the sky as well as the difficulties and challenges that First Nations people experience within a Western academic institution. However, the artwork is also about triumph and success, as small magical ancestors watch from the universe and cast protection and strength into the students’ academic pathways, providing holistic wellbeing. Context The University of Wollongong (UOW) main campus sits in an area of stunning natural beauty that is the ancestral home of the Australian Aboriginal people of Yuin. Yuin is a substantial stretch of the New South Wales (NSW) South Coast and inland regions, spanning from Sydney’s Broken Bay in the north all the way to the Victorian border in the south. The two major mountains overlooking the Wollongong region, Mount Keira and Mount Kembla, are spiritually significant to local Aboriginal people, representing the protection and constancy of Grandmother and Grandfather, respectively. The three major totems or spiritual guides of this region are the sea eagle of the air, the humpback whale of the ocean and the red-bellied black snake of the land. The majority of the other domestic campuses of UOW (not including Southern Highlands and Liverpool) also sit on Yuin country.

  • Reconstructing Aboriginal Economy and Society: the New South Wales
    Reconstructing Aboriginal 12 Economy and Society: The New South Wales South Coast at the Threshold of Colonisation John M. White Ian Keen’s 2004 monograph, Aboriginal Economy and Society: Australia at the Threshold of Colonisation, represents the first anthropological study to draw together comparative pre- and postcolonial data sets and sources to explain the nature and variety of Aboriginal economy and society across the Australian continent. Keen’s (2004: 5) rationalisation for comparing the economy and society of seven regions was ‘mainly descriptive and analytical’, in order to ‘shed light on the character of each region, and to bring out their similarities and differences’. In doing so, as Veth (2006: 68) commented in his review of the book, ‘It speaks to meticulous and exhaustive research from myriad sources including social anthropology, linguistics, history, ecology and, not the least, archaeology’. Following its publication, Aboriginal Economy and Society: Australia at the Threshold of Colonisation won Keen his second Stanner Award from the Council of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies in 2005. In this chapter, I draw upon Keen’s comparative method to profile the ecology, institutions and economy of the Yuin people of (what is now) the Eurobodalla region of the New South Wales south coast at the time of European colonisation.1 1 Elsewhere I have documented the role of Aboriginal workers in the New South Wales south coast horticultural sector in the mid-twentieth century (White 2010a, 2010b, 2011) and have detailed the reactions of Yuin people to colonial incursions, which involved the development of intercultural relations that were mediated by exchange (White 2012).

    Chapter 4. Bush lemons and beach hauling: Evolving traditions and new thinking for protected areas management and Aboriginal peoples in New South Wales Michael Adams University of Wollongong Vanessa Cavanagh C/o University of Wollongong Bridget Edmunds C/o University of Wollongong Abstract. Aboriginal communities in New South Wales currently are engaged in negotiating with government agencies about cultural activities focussing on access to and harvest of wild resources on and off protected areas. These are ‘co-management’ situations in the broadest sense, where both Indigenous peoples and protected area management agencies actively are engaged in the same landscape. Aboriginal peoples are using adaptive approaches to continue millennia of cultural traditions in social and physical environments that are significantly changed and changing. Some protected area managers are seeking to understand and adapt agency responses, so as to engage and support Aboriginal interests. These contrasting perspectives on using, managing and protecting country are explored through two case studies: the harvesting of bush lemons and honey by the Bundjalung people of northeastern New South Wales; and the traditional beach fishery of the Yuin people within a marine park in southeastern New South Wales. These case studies, involving collaboration between Indigenous and non- Indigenous researchers and Indigenous communities, reveal the need to respect continuities of ancient cultures, practices and knowledges, while also recognising that adaptation to environmental and social change is a key element of cultural continuity. Adaptation is also a key ingredient of successful co-management, which is best regarded as a process rather than an outcome. 4.1 Introduction For millennia prior to colonisation, Australian environments co-evolved with Aborigin- al peoples.

The Ngarigu language The Ngarigu language was traditionally spoken in the inland south-eastern part of New South Wales. The name was especially applied to the Monaro region, but varieties of the same language were spoken: • in the Tumut region, where the people and their language were called Wolgal or Walgalu; • the Canberra-Queanbeyan and upper Murrumbidgee region by people known in the nineteenth century as Nyamudy (Namwich, Yammoit- mithang, etc.); • the Omeo region of Victoria (Koch 2011a). Since Schmidt (1919) the language has been classified as belonging to the Yuin group, now a subgroup of the Pama-Nyungan language family, along with its northern neighbour Ngunawal-Gundungurra and the coastal languages Dharawal, Dharumba, Dhurga, Jiringayn, and Thawa (cf.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A History of Aboriginal Illawarra, Volume 2 : Colonisation Abstract Near Broulee Point, south of Batemans Bay, once stood a wooden look-out platform used for generations by Leonard Nye’s family. The Dhurga were fisherfolk and through the ages they would gather to assess the seas and the weather before setting off. The oj b of the lookout who remained there was to signal those on the water and on the beach below about the location and direction of sea mammals and shoals of fish. Such lookout posts exist also at Hill 60 at Port Kembla and up and down the South Coast, and it is from them that people observed the passage of James Cook’s ship in 1770. One of them told her granddaughter Coomee, who died at Ulladulla in 1914, all about “the first time the white birds came by”. During the vessel’s slow northward movement along the South Coast over eight days, heavy surf at Bulli Beach prevented a provisioning party from getting ashore on 28 April.
