1. Thesis Topic
1. Thesis Topic This thesis is an archaeological study focused on identifying the gender of the anthropomorphic motifs depicted in the rock art assemblage of the northwest Kimberley region of Australia. 1.1 Introduction – What is sex? What is gender? The terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ are often thought to be of the same essence. The purpose of this chapter is to make the difference between the two terms clear and to explain their respective significance to the study of rock art. In brief, ‘sex’ refers to the biological differences: physicality – hormonal profiles, chromosomes and their consequence for the human body i.e. internal and external sex organs and development of hair and muscle. In contrast, ‘gender’ describes the characteristics that a particular society or culture allocates as masculine or feminine, so while in every culture your sex as male or female is a biological fact, what your sex means in terms of your gender role as a ‘man’ or a ‘woman’ in society can be quite different cross culturally (Gross 1992:334-5). A ‘real man’ or ‘real woman’, therefore, requires male or female sex plus characteristics and behaviours ascribed by a particular culture as appropriate to those sexes. The resultant ‘gender roles’ have an effect on the individual’s societal position, their access to resources, their power of production and on their health (Hays-Gilpin 2009:336). Still, there is debate as to the worth of the term ‘gender’ when it is so closely related to the sex of an individual (Laqueur 1992). Nonetheless, it is clear that characteristics and behaviours of gender are ascribed dissimilarly across cultures to individuals physically marked as male, female and, more rarely to the intersexed. -

In this paper I use evidence from place names, cultural ties, language names, mythology, and oral histories to discuss the locations and affiliations of several contested groups in the area. Of particular interest are the Mayala and Oowini groups. In doing this work I build on techniques exemplified and refined by Luise Hercus in her beautiful studies of Central Australian language, land, and culture. -

Western Australia Skr Issuing Authority Based on Indigenous Peoples of Western Australia
WESTERN AUSTRALIA SKR ISSUING AUTHORITY BASED ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF AUSTRALIA 1. BE ADVISED that We, the Indigenous Tribal Peoples mentioned hereunder, as law-abiding Peoples, are invoking the Homestead principle and the Bill of Bracery (32 Hen. VIII, c.9) to stake lawful and legitimate claims upon all the gold and other precious metals present in the land and soil that we first occupied and owned for over 40,000 years prior to colonial settlements; 2. TAKE NOTICE that we did not invite European colonizers upon our land and soil. Europeans set foot upon our land and soil without valid visas and without our consent. They are yet to receive formal immigrant recognition from us as mentioned hereunder; 3. TAKE NOTICE that under customary international law and the disadvantages posed by Section 25 and Section 51(xxvi) of the Constitution of Australia, and despite the Act of Recognition of 13 February 2013 formally recognizing the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, our land and resources’ rights were pre-ordained prior to uninvited colonization; 4. TAKE NOTICE that there are 66 operating gold mines in Australia including 14 of the world's largest, 11 of which are in Western Australian making it the country's major gold producer, accounting for almost 70 per cent of Australia's total gold production. 5. TAKE NOTICE that the six biggest gold mines are Boddington (two million ounces have been mined and extracted since 2012) Fimiston, Jundee, Telfer, and Sunrise Dam. 6. TAKE NOTICE that none of us mentioned hereunder received one penny of the wealth that has been mined off our lands. -

HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY NEWSLETTER 37.1 (JUN 2010) / 3 Talking Language to Whitefellas Josh Berson, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin At the heart of the historiography of endangered indigenous language documentation lies a disconcerting irony: the language surveys that have formed the basis for quantified estimates of the world’s spoken languages and the rates at which they are disappearing are largely records of statements and actions of linguists and the institutions supporting them. Speakers of endangered languages are not well represented, either in published accounts of language documentation or in archived correspondence, in which government actors and would-be ethnographers negotiated terms of access to indigenous populations. We can, however, examine field data—texts that enable us to form impressions of what informants made of the whitefellas who showed up without notice to spend an afternoon, a week, or a year asking such questions as, “You got another language here?” and demanding the words for ‘hair,’ ‘water,’ and ‘forehead’.1 In particular, recordings and transcripts of direct elicitation represent a major resource. -
