AIATSIS would recommend the focus of this senate inquiry includes: consultation with traditional owner groups; native title corporations administering native title settlements and agreements bodies; Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs); Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs) and Aboriginal Land Councils: all of whom exercise responsibility for the management of the Indigenous Estate and large tracts of the National Reserve System. This critical consultation and engagement is to ensure that traditional knowledge and management is acknowledged as being an essential element in threatened species recovery, management and conservation. AIATSIS submits that acknowledging the totality of the Indigenous Estate and its interconnection with the National Reserve System is essential in terms of addressing the faunal extinction crisis across the content. Caring for Country programs, Indigenous Land and Sea Management Programs (ILSMPs) and Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) are achieving great success in terms of threatened species recovery and the eradication of feral pests and species. Please find attached the AIATSIS submission which is based upon 26 years of research and practice by AIATSIS in Indigenous cultural heritage and native title law.

To work in partnership with the diverse Kimberley language communities To ensure Kimberley languages are passed on to children. The KLRC is the only organisation in Australia focussing solely on Kimberley Aboriginal languages. The Kimberley was, and still is, the one of the most linguistically diverse areas in Australia with at least 421 language groups plus additional dialects identified. The KLRC Directors advocate for the 30 or so languages still spoken. The organisation was established in 1984 by Aboriginal people concerned about the effects of colonisation and the continuing impact of Western society on their spoken languages and cultural knowledge. It is beginning its 26th year of operations with a wealth of experience and resources underpinning its service delivery. The organisation is governed by a Board of 12 Directors accountable to a membership from across the region. The office is based in Halls Creek in the East Kimberley. The KLRC provides a forum for developing language policy to strategically revive and maintain (in other words, continue) the Kimberley Aboriginal languages.

More than 600 Aboriginal people, representing the 29 claim groups of the Kimberley, gathered at Ngumpan in the Fitzroy Valley to attend the event hosted by the Kimberley Land Council, the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre and the Kimberley Language Resource Centre. The bush meeting is the largest and most important event for Kimberley Aboriginal people, Kimberley Land Council DECEMBER 2011 1 A touch of royalty KLC Co-Chairs Tom Birch and Frank Davey travelled with CEO Nolan Hunter to Perth to meet the Queen at a State Reception Garden Party. More than 1800 people attended the October 27 event as part of the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting (CHOGM) that was happening in Perth. Co-Chair Tom Birch said although he did not get to meet the Queen, it was an important event to attend. “Very few people get the experience to come so close to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, so it was a unique opportunity for the KLC to represent all Kimberley Aboriginal people,’’ he said. “Although I didn’t get to meet the Queen there were a number of politicians, celebrities and business leaders that we got to speak to and inform about the Kimberley and the work the KLC is doing.’’ The Queen was presented with and AFL football when she visited the Clontarf Aboriginal College and received a Message Stick when greeted by the Noongar people.

    KRED Enterprises newsletter July, August, September 2015 www.instagram.com/kredenterprises KRED ENTERPRISES • KRED LEGAL • EHSIS We have a right to economic development Written by Wayne Bergmann for The Australian 29/09/15 In his victory speech, new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced: “There has never been a more exciting time to be alive than today and there has never been a more exciting time to be an Australian. We will ensure that all Australians understand that their government recognises the opportunities of the future.” If federal, state and territory governments are to ensure that Aboriginal Australians are included in these “opportunities of the future”, it is obvious their first priority should be to support the economic initiatives of Aboriginal people. Remarkably, some governments do not understand this. Take the most recent Queensland state governments. On Cape York Peninsula near Aurukan, there’s $20 billion worth of bauxite waiting to be mined. The traditional owners of the area, the Wik and Wik Way people, eager to be part of the economic development of their region, formed a joint venture with an Australian mining company to create Aurukan Bauxite Developments and planned to mine the resource. As part of the joint venture, ABD was to give a 15 per cent share of the project to traditional owners, two Aboriginal directors would be appointed to a board of seven, and there were unambiguous commitments to indigenous employment and training. ABD chairman Nicholas Stump has 40 years’ experience in the mining industry and was formerly chief executive of Comalco and MIM Holdings. According to Cape York indigenous leader Noel Pearson: “He is leading a serious team that has the money, the capability and the capacity to do this.” Here was an opportunity for Aboriginal people to exercise their property rights under native title and control and benefit from development on their country, from operating mining equipment right up to a board level.
