  • 7 Names and Naming: Speaking Forms Into Place
    7 NAMES AND NAMING: SPEAKING FORMS INTO PLACE Franca Tamisari In 1946 Donald Thomson (1946: 157) noted that 'very little has been recorded of the derivation and use of personal names among the Australian Aborigines'. Despite the significance that Australian Indigenous people in general give to the meaning and use of proper names of people and places and to the action of naming in cosmogonic events, with some exceptions this neglect continues today.l Thomson explains this dearth of research by the secrecy and the sacredness of proper names and toponyms which derive from their ancestral associations and by the rules of avoiding names in everyday life. However, like Keith Basso (1988: 103), I am inclined to suggest that this neglect is the reflection of the prevailing preoccupation of anthropologists and linguists with the semantico-referential meanings and functions of names and language rather than with the culturally shared notions and images all names evoke, provoke and embody in the creative dialogue that people establish and continuously renew with counily. As Heidegger argues for language (197la:192-l93): in order to explore the meaning and significance of Yolngu' names it is necessary to explain them more comprehensively than considering them as simple expressions of internal feelings and thoughts, as mere representations of reality, as vehicles by which people communicate, address each other, or in Levistraussian tenus, as a means by which people classify the world and order themselves within it (see Levi-Strauss 1966:161-190). If with Heidegger I suggest that 'language speaks' beyond expression and representation, my concern in this paper is to ethnographically explore what Yolngu names speak of, that is, what culturally shared images and notions they reveal while saying very little (Basso 1988:103).

  • 10 Gapu Dhulway, Gapu Maramba: Conceptualisation and Ownership of Saltwater Among the Burarra and Yan- Nhangu Peoples of Northeast Arnhem Land
    10 Gapu Dhulway, Gapu Maramba: conceptualisation and ownership of saltwater among the Burarra and Yan- nhangu peoples of northeast Arnhem Land Geoffrey Bagshaw Although a considerable body of literature now exists on aspects of cus- tomary marine tenure and/resource usage in the Blyth River—Crocodile Islands region of northeast Arnhem Land,1 little has been written about the ways in which the local Burarra and Yan-nhangu peoples actually conceptualise saltwater and articulate concomitant relations of sea ownership. Ultimately, and perhaps inevitably, this lack of focus upon indigenous conceptions of saltwater has resulted in the promulgation and uncritical acceptance of certain ethnographically inaccurate rep- resentations of regional sea tenure patterns and principles. Foremost among these (mis)representations is the widely held view that tradi- tional patterns of land and sea tenure in this region are, to all practical intents and purposes, identical (cf. Davis 1984a; Davis and Prescott 1992; Cooke 1995:9–10; Keen 1984–85:433; see also Northern Land Council 1992:1, 1995:2,4–5). Deriving from this perspective are the equally erroneous, if often less explicitly articulated, assumptions to the 1 See, for example, Aboriginal Land Commissioner (1981); Bagshaw (1979, 1991a, 1991b, 1991c, 1995a); Cooke (n.d.[a], n.d.[b], 1995); Davis (1981, 1984a, 1984b); Davis and Prescott (1992); Dreyfus and Dhulumburrk (1980); Keen (1977, 1981, 1984–85); Meehan (1977a, 1977b, 1977c, 1982, 1983); and Ritchie (1987). Similar material from neighbouring parts of Arnhem Land can be found in Aboriginal Land Commissioner (1988); Davis (1981, 1982); Ginytjirrang Mala/ADVYZ (1994); Hiatt (1982); Keen (1982, 1983); Northern Land Council (1992, 1995); and Palmer (1984–85).

  • Biodiversity Conservation on the Tiwi Islands, Northern Territory
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 2. Fauna Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Craig Hempel, Martin Armstrong, Damian Milne and Ray Chatto. Darwin, June 2003 Cover photograph. The False Water-rat Xeromys myoides. This Vulnerable species is known in the Northern Territory from six locations, including the Tiwi Islands. (Photo: Alex Dudley). i SUMMARY This is the second part of a three part report describing the biodiversity of the Tiwi Islands, and options for its conservation and management. The first part describes the Islands, their environments and plants. This part describes the fauna of the Tiwi Islands, and highlights the conservation values of that fauna. This report is concerned principally with terrestrial vertebrate fauna (frogs, reptiles, birds and mammals), and provides only limited information on fish, freshwater systems, marine systems and invertebrates. While Tiwi Aboriginal people have long held a deep knowledge of the fauna of their lands, this knowledge has only recently been documented. Scientific knowledge of the Tiwi fauna has improved substantially over the last decade. Until then, the most substantial contributions had come from collections, mostly of birds and mammals, in the period 1910-1920, that had provided a surprisingly thorough inventory of these groups. In this report we have collated all accessible information on the fauna of these Islands, and describe results from a major study undertaken over the last few years. This study has greatly increased the amount of information on the distribution, abundance, ecology and conservation status of the Tiwi Islands fauna. The Tiwi invertebrate fauna remains poorly known.

  • ``Quarantine Matters!'': Quotidian Relationships Around Quarantine in Australia's Northern Borderlands

This paper investigates practices of border formation through an analysis of Australia's quarantine processes. We use the work of the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), through the Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy (NAQS), to interrogate the ways in which borders are made and remade in daily life. By exploring quotidian practices of quarantine we argue that borders are the sites of complex and fluid relationships that are constantly being renegotiated as multiple active agents cohabit, contest, belong, and exclude. We find that quarantine borders are constantly being (re)made by forces outside NAQS's control, including through the practices of Yolngu Indigenous land-management staff and rangers, individual local residents, and diverse non- humans. Borders are revealed as active spaces produced in multiple locations at multiple scales. They are underpinned by diverse ontologies and are always more-than-human. This challenges the overly simplified view evoked within AQIS's public awareness material and the prevailing national discourse of defence, invasion, and fear.

Yet it is hard to see how such a list can be compiled until each of the states and territories has a list of its own. Several state lists have appeared in the last two decades, and the only large gaps remaining are the birds of Queensland and the Northern Territory. In choosing the second as my subject, I have undertaken much the lighter task; for the avi­ fauna of the Territory is impoverished compared to Queensland's, and its literature is far smaller. The present work is a compendium of what has been published on the occurrence, status, habitat and breeding season of Northern Territory birds, augmented with my own field notes and those of Dr. D. L. Serventy. No attempt has been made to fill the numerous gaps in the record by writing to museums and observers for information or by personally exploring un­ worked regions.
