The high standard of work provided by YMBBMAC has led to significant achievements for claimants. 2. Strategically, the organisation aims to build relationships in order to improve outcomes for its clients. Illustrating this, YMBBMAC is a member of the WA Chamber of Minerals and Energy and the WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 3. Working groups provide a system of decision-making that is effective, resilient, and has a high degree of community ownership. 4. Funding continues to limit the potential of the organisation. YMBBMAC can improve its performance and achieve agreed outcomes, with additional funding. 5. High level of activity in the Pilbara is demanding considerable resources from the organisation. In order to meet fully the demands of this historic expansion, YMBBMAC requires additional funding. ABOUT YMBBMAC The Yamatji Marlpa Barna Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation (YMBBMAC) is the native title representative body (NTRB) for native title claims in the Pilbara, Murchison and Gascoyne representative areas of Western Australia. WORKING GROUPS The use of working groups has set YMBBMAC apart in terms of its ability to operate efficiently, its support from its membership and its ability to produce successful, lasting agreements.

  • A Grammatical Sketch of Ngarla: a Language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY master thesis The department for linguistics and philology spring term 2007 A grammatical sketch of Ngarla: A language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund Supervisor: Anju Saxena Abstract In this thesis the basic grammatical structure of normal speech style of the Western Australian language Ngarla is described using example sentences taken from the Ngarla – English Dictionary (by Geytenbeek; unpublished). No previous description of the language exists, and since there are only five people who still speak it, it is of utmost importance that it is investigated and described. The analysis in this thesis has been made by Torbjörn Westerlund, and the focus lies on the morphology of the nominal word class. The preliminary results show that the language shares many grammatical traits with other Australian languages, e.g. the ergative/absolutive case marking pattern. The language also appears to have an extensive verbal inflectional system, and many verbalisers. 2 Abbreviations 0 zero marked morpheme 1 first person 1DU first person dual 1PL first person plural 1SG first person singular 2 second person 2DU second person dual 2PL second person plural 2SG second person singular 3 third person 3DU third person dual 3PL third person plural 3SG third person singular A the transitive subject ABL ablative ACC accusative ALL/ALL2 allative ASP aspect marker BUFF buffer morpheme C consonant CAUS causative COM comitative DAT dative DEM demonstrative DU dual EMPH emphatic marker ERG ergative EXCL exclusive, excluding addressee FACT factitive FUT future tense HORT hortative ImmPAST immediate past IMP imperative INCHO inchoative INCL inclusive, including addressee INSTR instrumental LOC locative NEG negation NMLISER nominaliser NOM nominative N.SUFF nominal class suffix OBSCRD obscured perception P the transitive object p.c.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin i Centre for Aboriginal Studies The Legacy of the Late Edward Mippy: An Ethnographic Biography Bernard Rooney This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Curtin University of Technology March 2002 ii TO MY FRIEND THE LATE EDWARD “NED” MIPPY iii ABSTRACT Cast in the dual genre of ethnographic biography, this thesis is focused on the life, work and vision of the late Edward “Ned” Mippy, an Aboriginal Elder of the Yuat Nyoongara Community who devoted the latter years of his life to promoting and developing the cultural identity of his people. As biography, it portrays the life of Mr. Mippy with particular emphasis on the factors which help to highlight his understandings and his vision for an Indigenous cultural renewal. As ethnography, the study is intended as a vehicle for wider concerns, evoking an interpretative glimpse of his community and contributing a new perspective of that community as a continuing social entity. These aims are broadly set forth in the brief introduction. The first chapter of the thesis then outlines the origin and development of the research project and the evolution of its methodology. Chapter two presents a picture of Mr. Mippy’s life experience, largely in terms of his own recorded memories and perceptions, while chapter three places his later life in a community context which includes historical, personal and demographic perspectives. The following two chapters, four and five, present various accounts of the work undertaken by Edward Mippy.

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.

  • The Burrup Agreement: a Case Study in Future Act Negotiation
    The Burrup Agreement: a case study in future act negotiation by Frances Flanagan 1 1. Introduction The agreement for the acquisition of native title over areas of land on and around the Burrup Peninsula near Karratha in Western Australia is one of the most comprehensive of its kind. The Pilbara Native Title Service led the negotiations with the State of Western Australia in highly challenging circumstances: there were three overlapping and part-heard native title claims, the acquisition concerned an area of world-renowned heritage significance, the State party was a newly-elected Labor government and there were five proponent companies proposing multi-billion dollar investments. One of the first things that my colleagues at the Land Council and I did upon realising that we would be responsible for assisting in negotiations of such magnitude and complexity was to reach for a copy of Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh's paper on negotiating major project agreements using the 'Cape York Model.'2 Our immediate reaction was gratitude towards Professor O'Faircheallaigh for his excellent digestion of the issues and his articulation of a comprehensive model for pursuing major negotiated agreements. Our second reaction was grave concern: we clearly did not have the resources, time or in-house expertise to follow the Cape York Model. 3 What follows is a brief summary of the strategic and logistical preparation the Land Council undertook prior to the negotiations that enabled us to broker a comprehensive agreement with the State and, at the same time, increase the expertise and skills of Land Council staff, improve the 1 Frances Flanagan has been a Legal Officer with the Yamatji Marlpa Sana Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation for three years.

  • Early Texts and Other Sources
    7 Early texts and other sources Introduction In order to demonstrate that native title has survived, the court will require that the laws and customs of the claimant society be shown not only to have survived substantially uninterrupted but also to have remained ‘traditional’1 in their content. What exactly is to be understood by the use of the term ‘traditional’ has been subject to extensive debate.2 Most, if not all, of the ethnography relevant to a native title inquiry will demonstrate the fact of some form of change. This is unsurprising since few anthropologists would argue for an unchanging society. It is the degree and measure of the change against customary systems that is subject to contestation. In short, 1 ‘A traditional law or custom is one which has been passed from generation to generation of a society, usually by word of mouth and common practice. But in the context of the Native Title Act, “traditional” carries with it two other elements in its meaning. First, it conveys an understanding of the age of the traditions: the origins of the content of the law or custom concerned are to be found in the normative rules of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander societies that existed before the assertion of sovereignty by the British Crown.
