Lyons Printer 84 Harris Street Pyrmont NSW 2009 (ii) FOREWORD The Australian Nuclear Association (ANA) inaugurated a series of biennial national conferences in 1995 to be held in alternate years to the series of international Pacific Basin Nuclear Conferences, of which the Ninth in the series was hosted by the ANA in Sydney in May 1994. The main objective of these national conferences is to present information on all aspects of the peaceful uses of nuclear science and engineering in Australia and to place this information in a world context. These conferences have the general title of "Nuclear Science and Engineering in Australia" and consist mainly of papers invited from leading experts in areas of topical interest in nuclear science and technology supported by contributed poster papers. This fourth conference in 2001 has the theme "A New Nuclear Century" and again consists of invited papers supported by contributed poster papers on the topics: (1) Nuclear Research and the Replacement Research Reactor; (2) Australian Uranium Resources; (3) Radioactive Waste Management; (4) Low Level Radiation / Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety; (5) The Environment and Sustainable Development; (6) Applications - The Environment and Sustainable Development; (7) Applications - Overview of Nuclear Medicine; (8) Applications - Radiation and Non-Destructive Testing; (9) Nuclear Science and Technology for the Future; (10) Nuclear Education in the Secondary and Tertiary Sectors - Panel Discussion. The ANA is very pleased that Senator The Hon. Nick Minchin, Minister for Industry, Science and Resources, has agreed to open the conference on 24 October, and that Dr Robin Batterham, Chief Scientist, has agreed to be the General Chairman and chair the technical sessions. The texts of the majority of the papers presented orally and as posters are included in this Handbook. The posters include one from the winner of the David Culley Award in 2001. This Award was instituted by the ANA in 1993 to encourage work in nuclear science and technology in schools and colleges in recognition of the interests in education of Mr David Culley, a former Treasurer of the ANA, who died in 1992. The ANA is pleased that the early registrations received for this conference as this Handbook went to the printers have confirmed its expectations that a broad spectrum of persons would attend from government, industry, the universities and the public. The assistance of the members of the Conference Advisory Committee is gratefully acknowledged as also is the work of Mrs Margaret Lanigan, Conference Manager, and MrsRobyn Shearwood of Conference Overload Pty Ltd..

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • Revitalization at a Distance: Engaging Digital Archives for Language Reclamation∗
    Revitalization at a distance: Engaging digital archives for language reclamation∗ Claire Bowern, Sue Hanson, Denise Smith-Ali, and George Hayden February 10, 2021 1 Introduction Many languages of the world are endangered (Campbell & Belew, 2018) and many communities are interested in language work with linguists. What types of projects can be done with remote collaboration? How can remote collaborations benefit both communities and linguists? and, since remote collaborations cannot ever replace in person language reclamation and revitalization, how can remote collaborations proceed without taking time away from the vital work that is done in person? In this paper, we describe collaborative work in progress on reclamation projects between Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia and the Chirila (digital lexical materials for Australian languages; Bowern 2016) project. These projects were created in response to a need for language work which was respon- sive to community needs in different regions of Australia, but where the work could ∗This work was funded by NSF Grant BCS-1423711 “Typology as a Window on Prehistory”. Kado Muir, Luxie Hogarth-Redmond, and Geraldine Hogarth, provided language consultations and are coauthors of grammars through the bootcamp project for Ngalia and Kuwarra (respectively). Matt Tyler, Andy Zhang, Anaí Navarro, Ryan Budnick, Sasha Wilmoth, Akshay Aitha, Sarah Mihuc, Sarah Babinski, Kate Mooney, Omar Agha, Tom McCoy, Joshua Martin, and Lydia Ding were all members of the bootcamp projects over the years.

  • Native Title and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management
    Native title and Indigenous cultural heritage management BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Robert Williams and Pamela F McGrath Native Title Research Unit October 2014 Preface This bibliography aims to provide readers with a comprehensive list of relevant legislation, research and commentary on Indigenous cultural heritage management in Australia since the implementation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). This resource has been produced as part of a three-year AIATSIS Native Title Research Unit project about cultural heritage protection in the era of native title. It addresses a need for bibliographic resources about current state and Commonwealth Indigenous cultural heritage management regimes and their interaction with native title rights and policy. It is intended as a guide to assist native title groups, practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others with locating and accessing information relevant to their own projects. The bibliography is arranged both by jurisdiction and theme and covers a number of significant issues relating to cultural heritage management for native title groups and other stakeholders: best practice, future acts and agreement making, governance, cumulative impacts, knowledge management, relevant case law and native title archaeology. The bibliography was primarily prepared through desktop research utilising government websites and publications, online databases, and various research institutions and university archives. Information was also sought via personal correspondence on an informal basis with key stake holders within the heritage sector. We especially wish to thank Carolyn Tan for allowing us to draw extensively on references to relevant case law cited in her PhD thesis. This bibliography is intended to be a living document that is added to and improved upon over time.

  • Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region
    Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region The Goldfields region of Western Australia is home to around 7,200 Aboriginal people who represent 12% of the region’s population.1 An estimated 2,900 people speak an Aboriginal language as a first language.2 Many of the remaining Aboriginal population speak an Aboriginal language as a second or subsequent language, are a partial speaker, recaller and/or speak an Aboriginal dialect of English or speak Standard Australian English. Identifying the languages and their dialects of the northern, western and southern districts of the region has proven to be difficult as there is meager historical linguistic material prior to 2011. Multiple forms of names are recorded in historical material and the relationships between the names needed to be investigated. However, Ngaanyatjarra and dialects, and Yankunytjatjarra as well as Walpiri and Pintupi from the Northern Territory have been well documented. Speakers of each of these languages are found in the Goldfields region. The southern and western Goldfields regions were heavily impacted during European settlement due to a number of mineral booms, in particular during initial gold rushes between 1890 and 1910. The region experienced an influx of around 20,000 people in a 2-year period during the first gold rushes at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. This boom decimated a number of Aboriginal populations through the spread of disease and starvation, competition for sparse water and food, and through massacres. Most Aboriginal people who survived the first wave of European settlement were relocated to the nine missions established in the region or were sent to other missions outside the area such as Mogumber Mission near Perth.

  • Meteoritics and Cosmology Among the Aboriginal Cultures of Central Australia
    Journal of Cosmology, Volume 13, pp. 3743-3753 (2011) Meteoritics and Cosmology Among the Aboriginal Cultures of Central Australia Duane W. Hamacher Department of Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University, NSW, 2109, Australia [email protected] Abstract The night sky played an important role in the social structure, oral traditions, and cosmology of the Arrernte and Luritja Aboriginal cultures of Central Australia. A component of this cosmology relates to meteors, meteorites, and impact craters. This paper discusses the role of meteoritic phenomena in Arrernte and Luritja cosmology, showing not only that these groups incorporated this phenomenon in their cultural traditions, but that their oral traditions regarding the relationship between meteors, meteorites and impact structures suggests the Arrernte and Luritja understood that they are directly related. Note to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Readers This paper contains the names of, and references to, people that have passed away and references the book “Nomads of the Australian Desert” by Charles P. Mountford (1976), which was banned for sale in the Northern Territory as it contained secret information about the Pitjantjatjara. No information from the Pitjantjatjara in that book is contained in this paper. 1.0 Introduction Creation stories are the core of cosmological knowledge of cultures around the globe. To most groups of people, the origins of the land, sea, sky, flora, fauna, and people are formed by various mechanisms from deities or beings at some point in the distant past. Among the more than 400 Aboriginal language groups of Australia (Walsh, 1991) that have inhabited the continent for at least 45,000 years (O’Connell & Allen, 2004) thread strong oral traditions that describe the origins of the world, the people, and the laws and social structure on which the community is founded, commonly referred to as “The Dreaming” (Dean, 1996).
