  • M Last Visitor Management Strategy 3-5-05
    Visitor Management Strategy And Cultural Site Protection Strategy [Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands] Contributors: Writer: Traditional Owners and Family Members Mike Last from all communities across the APY-Lands 21 st December 04 to including the Indigenous Land Managed Areas 31 st August 05 [Apara, Kalka-Pipalyatjara, Walalkara, Sandy’s Bore & Watarru] APY Land Management Staff and Field Colleagues Contents Outline 3 Introduction 5 Early Strategies 7 Traditional Strategies 10 Self Determination and Self Management Strategies 12 Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Strategies 15 Enterprise Strategies 19 Staff Employment Strategies 23 Summary of Strategies 25 Review of Strategies 28 Key Cultural Sites 30 Recommendations 33 Maps 34 Acknowledgements 35 References 36 Appendix I 37 Appendix II 39 Appendix III 42 Appendix IV 48 Appendix V 52 2 Outline Visitor management and the provision of site protection are not new concepts for Pitjantjantjara and Yankunytjatjara people. Hence this article is an attempt to examine the strategies that have been developed and used on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands from traditional times until the present day. During this period it was found that as government policies and the social climate within Australia changed, more opportunities became available to improve strategies on the Lands. These improvements are only effective provided they are supported with sufficient resources including finance. Pitjantjantjara and Yankunytjatjara people (Anangu) are able to successfully manage visitors and protect cultural sites on their Lands providing they are fully supported by those who partner with them. The section on “Early Strategies” assesses those strategies developed after the establishment of western culture in Australia. “Traditional Strategies” briefly describes those used since Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara culture began.

  • Reflections on the Pitjantjatjara Outstation Movement Bill Edwards
    2 From Coombes to Coombs: Reflections on the Pitjantjatjara outstation movement Bill Edwards In September 1957, nearing the end of my studies at the University of Melbourne, I met the Reverend Victor Coombes, general secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Missions, to discuss the possibility of serving on a north Queensland Gulf mission. What motivated my interest in Aboriginal missions in an era when the more exotic overseas missions such as in the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) and Korea received more attention? Growing up in a very small country town in the Wimmera region of Victoria in the 1930s, I had little knowledge of Aboriginal people and their history. Monuments on nearby roads bearing the words ‘Major Mitchell passed by here’ suggested that this was the beginning of history. A rare meeting with an Aboriginal person was when a ‘swagman’ passed through my hometown of Lubeck. In return for the food my parents gave him, he cut firewood and gave my father an incised boomerang—now one of my prized possessions. My studies in arts, education and theology in Melbourne contributed nothing to my knowledge of Aboriginal culture and history. However, in 1954, I visited universities around Australia as a staff worker with a Christian student organisation, the Inter-Varsity Fellowship. A visit to Adelaide in March that year coincided with a visit by the Ernabella Mission Choir. They came to see 25 ExPERIMENTS IN SELF-Determination Queen Elizabeth II on her Australian tour. I heard them sing in the Teachers College and spent time with them at their accommodation, not imagining that four years later I would assume the role of conducting the choir.
