Our aim is to rescue the immense work of this illustrious Galician man who settled in Australia and to shed some light on a man of his time, who was against his time but also well above Tof the time when he lived. An individual who carried out pioneering work that established a dialogue with a particular place in faraway Oceania in which he tried to find a synthesis between the Western civilisation he carried with him and a different, allegedly inferior Aboriginal culture he found upon his arrival in Australia. Rosendo Salvado was not, however, very well-known in Galicia. But from 1999 his figure was gradually integrated into Galician culture thanks to several exhibitions, conferences and publications that showed the special dimensions of his personality, marked by cultural pluralism that was innovative for his day. He demonstrated a spirit of understanding of different cultures, of the relationships between the Western world and the Aboriginal world, which he discovered from 1845 on, after his first trip to New Norcia. The exhibition organised then travelled to Australia too, which helped us make the links between the two homelands of the illustrious Tui native even tighter. Salvado erected in Australia a Benedictine community that was built on an atypical civilisatory plan, one that began with something as close to us as names. Salvado encouraged Aborigines to take Christian baptismal names, while keeping their Indigenous surnames, as initial forms of address. But he also demonstrated a rare interest in education, against the incomprehension Rome repeatedly showed. This strategy of Salvado’s resulted in the creation of a 7 number of schools and, above all, in the teaching of trades to Aborigines: ‘Properly instructed the aboriginal acquires a just idea of both the value of money and property,’ as he wrote in one of his many manuscripts. In the particular way in which he saw colonialism, he set up a pioneering rural bank that would grant credit for Aborigines’ farms; he also paid them wages in exchange for their work. To Salvado, to have Aboriginal men working without recompense would make them feel the burden of civilisation without its advantages. And these were some of the recipes for his success. In the following pages, readers will be able to find out about an individual concerned about the rights of Aborigines, on whom he left a deep mark. But they will also find a description of the vast legacy that lies in the New Norcia Community in the shape of maps, diaries, letters, account books, employment records and others – private materials that reveal a great deal about his sensitivity to draw a community to a place where nobody had before. The fact that he was a Galician, of Celtic origin, with pre-Christian traditions that live on in a world of spirits and superstitions and are closely linked to the land, may have helped him relate so well to a highly spiritual community that has preserved his memory until this day. The most substantial part of Rosendo Salvado’s legacy has been compiled and studied in this book. Its contents are the result of the painstaking work of professors Ramón Máiz and Tiffany Shellam, who coordinated a congress that brought a number of outstanding individuals from the Antipodes, such as Susan Ballyn or Peter Hocking, or Giulio Cipollone, Antonio Linage Conde or María Jesús Lorenzo Modia from places closer to home. Thanks to these studies and the exhibition that toured Galicia in 2014, the figure of Rosendo Salvado has much more pluralistic and complex traits today than that stereotyped image according to which his importance boiled down to his alleged role in the dissemination of eucalyptus in Galicia. Also in this case, we should draw the best guidelines for our times from the biography of Salvado himself: tolerance and understanding of others, without renouncing one’s own identity. 8 The activities focused on Rosendo Salvado that the Council for Galician Culture promoted in 2014 could be carried out thanks to the efforts of different members of the Plenary Board (Ramón Máiz, Francisco Díaz-Fierros, Segundo Pérez) and the staff of our institution, as well as external support from very different bodies: the Bishopric of Tui, the Archbishopric of Santiago de Compostela, the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela and, in particular, the Australian Embassy in Spain, whose incumbent at that time was Ms Jane Hardy. To all these people and institutions, many thanks for their help. 9 10 Table of contents actas 11 6 PRESENTATION 13 Rosendo Salvado and the Aboriginal World: reading aboriginal autonomy in the light of a pioneer’s legacy Ramón Máiz and Tiffany Shellam 25 Searching for Rosendo Salvado in 1978 Doireann MacDermott 31 Salvado: a man of and before his time Ronald M.

His commitment to the Aboriginal world involved the radical rejection of the brutal ethnocentric, racist approach that was customary in the time of the British Empire, i.e., the approach whereby the Aborigines were considered miserable ‘soulless’ bodies, the remnants of a ‘doomed race’ (the doomed race theory), or even beings belonging to the same species ‘as orangutans’. The emphasis laid on the extraordinary dimension of his missionary efforts, or a misguided focus on his legendary importation of eucalyptus to Galicia, have concealed the very core of his life project – his formidable efforts to promote the personal and political autonomy of Australian Aborigines as human beings with rights and, therefore, with a civil future. Salvado carried out this task displaying, at all times, an openly belligerent attitude against the discourses and practices that both Protestantism and Catholicism had established, and his ways were far removed from those of ‘evangelists of empire’. One only needs to compare his open, unprejudiced attitude of dialogue with the strongly traditionalist, narrow- minded approach of the man who had been his partner in the order and in misfortune in Australian lands from their time in the Monastery of San Martiño Pinario in Compostela, José Serra. In Salvado’s own words, ‘In Australia, the Europeans absorb all of missionaries’ minds, all of their time, all of their means, and the poor savages remain entirely abandoned and forgotten […]. Everything, absolutely everything is done for the Europeans; nothing, absolutely nothing for the savages’ (Salvado, 1883: 432). The recent publication of the Galician edition of Salvado’s memoirs, Memorias históricas sobre a Australia e particularmente sobre a Misión Beneditina de Nova Nursia e os usos e costumes dos australianos (Salvado, 2014), will perhaps lead us Galicians to adopt a more suitable approach and pay closer attention to 15 Ramón Máiz / Tiffany Shellam his exceptional career as we still wait for fresh discoveries resulting from the ongoing transcription of his Diaries, handwritten by the men in charge of the New Norcia Archives. It is particularly striking to see how Salvado himself was lucidly aware that, drawing on his exhausting experiences and his daily reflexion in the inclement environment of the bush, he was developing some ideas and principles of his own, which were innovative at that time, ultimately heterodox, always against the tide of the dominant vision. These were the foundations of the original ‘Salvado method’, the ‘New Norcia exception’ that such an extraordinary woman – a nurse, statistician, outstanding feminist, pioneer of the defence of public health – as Florence Nightingale in the metropolis was insightful enough to unveil. Her astonishment at the answers given by the abbot of the wilderness to her survey on the health of the Aborigines of the Empire was the first recognition of the fact that there, in Western Australia, a Galician friar was challenging the racist practices of the Empire (Nightingale, 1863; Ride, 2007: 198; Shellam, 2012a). Aware of the new approach he was developing through hard learning in the field, Salvado went beyond mere practical, improvised, vaguely humanitarian knowledge in his contact with the Aboriginal world.

  • City Continues Fight for Independence Underground Power Project Nears
    Issue No. 166 • April 2013 Keeping the community i nformed City continues fight for independence t its March meeting, council rejected the report prepared on behalf of the group of A twenty metropolitan local governments (the G20) that recommends consolidating the seven western suburbs local governments into one. The City of Subiaco does not support a reduction of local governments to any specific number and has expressed a strong desire for the city to remain an independent and autonomous local government. The city will continue to advocate for voluntary amalgamations, through the poll provisions in the Dadour Amendment, to ensure the community is able to decide on the structure of local government. If forced amalgamations were to occur, council endorsed a proposal to reduce the number of local governments in the western suburbs from seven to three, based on the centres of Subiaco, Claremont and Cambridge. This achieves the city’s aim of remaining an independent local government, while still meeting the aims of the state government in reducing the number of local governments in the metropolitan area. For the latest information on local government amalgamations, visit the ‘local government reform’ page on the city’s website www.subiaco.wa.gov.au Underground power project nears completion ouncil recently decided to allocate $4.5 million to complete the C undergrounding of power to homes between Onslow and Aberdare roads in Shenton Park. Works are expected to take place towards the end of the 2012–13 financial year and, once complete, it will mean all streets in the City of Subiaco will have underground power.

    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.

The New Norcia town site was first established in 1847 as a mission for the local Yued Aboriginal people by Spanish Benedictine monk, Dom Rosendo Salvado. The monks, together with the Yued people, set about establishing a self-sufficient town. With its impressive boarding colleges, the community provided important educational opportunities between 1908 and 1991. Today, New Norcia is still home to Benedictine monks and the monastery is one of the 27 historic buildings on the Register of the National Estate. Here, Benedictine monks move quietly amongst historical buildings on their way to pray together seven times daily. But it is not just the monks’ dedication to peace that makes New Norcia so special. It is also the town’s monastic, Aboriginal and European heritage which the monks invite all visitors to explore. PAX, a Latin word meaning peace, is the motto of the Benedictine monks of New Norcia. It is the fruit of their regular, prayerful and stable life together and the gift they offer to all who visit their town. New Norcia is a place that captures the imagination of young and old, and inspires them to create, perform and enjoy.
