December 2017 Research conducted by Ninti One Ltd in conjunction with Nyangatjatjara College Dr Sam Osborne, Dr John Guenther, Lorraine King, Karina Lester, Sandra Ken, Rose Lester 1 Executive Summary Since 2011, Nyangatjatjara College has conducted a series of student and community interviews aimed at providing feedback to the school regarding student experiences and their future aspirations. These narratives have developed significantly over the last seven years and this study, a broader research piece, highlights a shift from expressions of social and economic uncertainty to narratives that are more explicit in articulating clear directions for the future. These include: • A strong expectation that education should engage young people in training and work experiences as a pathway to employment in the community • Strong and consistent articulation of the importance of intergenerational engagement to 1. Ground young people in their stories, identity, language and culture 2. Encourage young people to remain focussed on positive and productive pathways through mentoring 3. Prepare young people for work in fields such as ranger work and cultural tourism • Utilise a three community approach to semi-residential boarding using the Yulara facilities to provide access to expert instruction through intensive delivery models • Metropolitan boarding programs have realised patchy outcomes for students and families. The benefits of these experiences need to be built on through realistic planning for students who inevitably return (between 3 weeks and 18 months from commencement).

  • Chapter 9: Northern Territory Intervention and Indigenous Land
    Chapter 9 187 Northern Territory intervention and Indigenous land The federal government on 21 June 2007 announced measures to tackle sexual abuse against Aboriginal children in the Northern Territory. The legislation it passed to implement the measures has significant implications for Aboriginal owned and controlled land. This chapter sets out the main provisions in that legislation that affect land. Concerns are identified. A more comprehensive analysis of the intervention in the Northern Territory and human rights is set out in my Social Justice Report 2007. In that report I provide an overview of the main human rights standards and legal obligations relevant to the government’s intervention. In this Native Title Report 2007 I focus on native title and land issues. The areas addressed are: n compulsory five-year leases; n town camps; n effects of other laws; and n rights in construction areas and infrastructure. Overview Legislation giving effect to the Australian Government’s intervention into Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory received Royal Assent1 on 17 August 2007. The main provisions dealing with the federal government’s acquisition of rights, titles and interests in land are contained in Part 4 of the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007 (Cth) (NTNER Act). There are also provisions dealing with infrastructure in Schedule 3 (Infrastructure) of the Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Other Legislation Amendment (Northern Territory National Emergency Response and Other Measures) Act 2007 (Cth) (FCSIA(NTNER) Act). That Act amends the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth) (ALRA) inserting Part IIB (Statutory rights over buildings or infrastructure).

  • Quarterly Edition, Autumn 2020 Art, Words and Photos from Central
    Art, words and photos from Central Australian Aboriginal Art Centres Quarterly edition, Autumn 2020 THE DESART RADAR Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands – Sydney Biennale 2020 Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands are currently showing in the Sydney Biennale with another show alongside the Biennale at CrossArt Gallery. Participating artists in the Biennale are: Kathleen France, Noreen Hudson, Reinhold Inkamala, Clara Inkamala, Dellina Inkamala, Kathy Inkamala, Vanessa Inkamala, Janie Karpa, Gloria Pannka, Hubert Pareroultja, Ivy Pareroultja, Mervyn Rubuntja, Hillary Wirri. The works in this exhibition speak to the lack of housing for Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. From Albert Namatjira, who despite his success as a celebrated artist could not get authorities to assist him and his family’s housing situation, a humpy in the Morris Soak camp in Mparntwe, to his relatives today living in overcrowded town camps. Mervyn Rubuntja says the aim of the Biennale show is “to introduce people in urban environments to the beautiful landscape of the Northern Territory. At the same time, we want to raise awareness about the issues we are facing. We feel that there is a lack of consultation with traditional owners. If the authorities would listen to us, they would support us with housing issues for example, rather than investing in mining on our country, which we strongly object to. The works we present at the Biennale of Sydney are to let people know about our country and our lives.” Image: Vanessa Inkamala, Homeless on my homeland, 2018/19 (acrylic and marker pen on nylon stripe bags) Photo: Alex Robinson. Warlayirti Artist, Pauline Sunfly Nangala’s successful showcase at Tarnanthi Festival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art It’s been 10 years since Pauline Sunfly Nangala has had a solo show and what more prestigious event to show case new works, as a featured artist, than at Tarnanthi Festival at the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) late last year.
