  • Native Title in the News – November & December 2000
    We are busily completing the final production of the proceedings from last year’s Native Title Representative Bodies Legal Conference, held in Melbourne in April 2000. Bryan Keon-Cohen QC has been working furiously to edit the papers, a selection of which will be published in the book with a great deal of additional material to be included on an accompanying CD. The result will be an exciting and very important publication. So, look out for Native Title in the New Millennium. Hot on the heels of the proceedings we are working on the next NTRB Legal Conference which will be a celebration of the 20 year Anniversary of the Townsville conference that initiated the Mabo litigation. The conference will be held in Townsville on the 28-30 August 2001. We will keep you posted on developments with the organisation of the event. NATIVE TITLE IN THE NEWS – NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2000 New South Wales Land holders and other interest holders affected by the Muthi Muthi native title application over 23,829 square kilometres in south western New South Wales have been invited by the National Native Title Tribunal to register for mediation talks. The application covers land in Balranald Shire bounded by Euston, the Murray and Edward Rivers to Moolpa, Maude, Booligal, Willandra Creek and Mungo National Park and excludes private freehold land. (NNTT Media Release, 13 Dec) The National Native Title Tribunal has advertised five native title applications in western New South Wales inviting interest holders to register as parties to the mediation proceedings. The applications in the Balranald, Bourke, Broken Hill, Central Darling, Cobar, Wentworth and Unincorporated Area do not cover any private freehold land.

Introduction Language, land and song are closely entwined for most pre-industrial societies, whether the fishing and farming economies of Homeric Greece, or the raiding, mercenary and farming economies of the Norse, or the hunter- gatherer economies of Australia. Documenting a language is now seen as incomplete unless documenting place, story and song forms part of it. This book presents language documentation in its broadest sense in the Australian context, also giving a view of the documentation of Australian Aboriginal languages over time.1 In doing so, we celebrate the achievements of a pioneer in this field, Luise Hercus, who has documented languages, land, song and story in Australia over more than fifty years.

Alought the percentage may seem small as an average (Approx. 17% per annum) large flows have at times contributed markedly in times when the Lower Murray River had periods of low or no flow. This was especially evident during the Millennium Drought when a large flow was shepherded through to the Lower Lakes and Coorong thereby averting what would have been a natural disaster and the possibility of Adelaide running out of water.

Pulleine's claim (op. cit. 80) that he recorded all of the motifs at Mootwingee is far from being the case. These papers indicated that Mootwingee was an important comparative site on the eastern extremity of the full intaglio pecking technique, and a complete recording was therefore decided upon.

    YURANGA ABORIGINAL NETWORK MILDURA LOCAL ABORIGINAL NETWORK COMMUNITY PLAN 2020 OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RESPECT TELKI NGAWINGI (Latji Latji for Good Day) We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional owners of this Country and the Elders who have passed into the Dreaming and Elders present today who have survived the impacts of Colonisation. Our Elders are the Cornerstone of our communities and we pay our Respect to them, their journeys, their strength and their Resilience. If it were not for them, we would not be here. OFFICIAL The Yuranga Local Aboriginal Network in Mildura was established in 2008, as part of the then Victorian Government’s New Representative Arrangement for Aboriginal People living in Victoria. The LAN’s original Community Plan was Titled: “The Mildura Local Indigenous Network – The Yuranga Aboriginal Committee, Community Plan.” It’s overarching framework was the VIAF of the time. Local Aboriginal Networks (LANs) bring Aboriginal people together to set priorities develop community plans and improve social connection. Our Mildura LAN has an Aboriginal name, which means “bend in the river.” The LAN in Mildura has been active within the Mildura community and over the years has held a number of Projects and supported others, however we have worked with the local Mildura Rural City Council and have produced a video that sits on the AV Website. MRCC have endorsed our Community Plan and it also sits on their Website along with all of the Geographical Community Plans, as the Municipality’s first Cultural Plan. Our LAN now has approximately 212 participants and there are 39 LANs in the State of Victoria.
