  • Indigenous Participation in Australian Economies II Map 5.1 the APY Landsmap 5.1 Lea Et Al
    5. ‘Always Anangu—always enterprising’ Alan O’Connor As a result of primary research in Arnhem Land, Altman developed a hybrid economy model for Indigenous Australians living in remote areas in which people move between the state, market and customary sectors (Altman 2005). He asserts that development policies for remote areas based on the state and the market have failed because of the existence of a customary sector and very different intercultural value systems. In addition, he suggests the commercial marginality of Aboriginal-owned land is the reason it was alienated, and as a result the potential to increase the market sector is very limited (Altman 2005). In this chapter, I examine Anangu involvement in economic life until the mid- 1970s with a particular focus on Ernabella and its homelands, and explore elements of the hybrid economy on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. This work is part of my thesis, developed from a larger study of enterprise development on the lands resulting from an Australian Research Council grant in 2007 obtained by Banerjee and Tedmanson. The research was conducted through the University of South Australia. The research partners in this work were from the communities of Ernabella, Turkey Bore and the Anilalya Homelands as well as UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide. Geography, Climate and Traditional Food Sources The APY Lands are located in the far north-west of South Australia and make up 102 500 sq km or 10.4 per cent of the area of South Australia. Ernabella is the largest community on the lands (with a population that has varied about 450 for many years) and is approximately 440 km by road from both Alice Springs and Coober Pedy.

  • Dear Friends of Redot Fine Art Gallery. NEWSLETTER – JUNE/JULY
    Dear Friends of ReDot Fine Art Gallery. NEWSLETTER – JUNE/JULY 2011 WHAT'S ON... AND COMING UP... THIS MONTH'S ARTIST PROFILE: NELLIE STEWART NEWS: YULUTJI WINS WYNNE AWARDS & WA AWARDS FINALISTS ANNOUNCED ANNOUNCEMENTS: NEW ARRIVALS WHAT'S ON... JUNE - JULY “NGURA INKANYI - Singing Country” ReDot Fine Art Gallery is honoured to host an exhibition hailing from the heart of Modern Contemporary Aboriginal Art. Tjungu Palya and Ninuku Arts are two artist-run art-centres in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in the far north west of South Australia. Between them they represent artists from Nyapari, Kanpi, Watarru, Angatja, Kalka and Pipalyatjara communities, with many of the artists ‘first contact’ bush people, retaining strong cultural knowledge and a willingness to share what is appropriate to people of other cultures. The centres promote traditional arts practices while also encouraging new forms of artistic expression in the re-telling of the Tjukurpa (‘Dreaming’ - Law). These communities stand at the apex of modern Aboriginal art movement, celebrating culture, ancestry, and landscape while concurrently ensuring the sustainability of the surrounding communities. When the pursuit of artistry is coupled so consummately with care for man and earth, the results mirror that which makes this one of the purest forms of expression seen in the modern art world today. Works from these artists resonate with an abundance of cultural integrity, vivid colours, mesmerising designs, deep knowledge, encapsulating a celebration of ceremony, ancestry and landscape. ReDot invites anyone fascinated by indigenous art to step into a world that is familiar in simplicity but memorizing in depth and Kay BAKER (11004) wonder.

    Desert Country This trail is intended as a guide for young people and families as they enjoy the exhibition. PaPunya Tula arTisTs Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri c.1934–2002, Anmatyerre people, Northern Territory Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri was one of Australia’s greatest artists. His epic paintings depicted stories about his country, weaving together Aboriginal law and ceremony, vitally important to social cohesion and survival. As a member of the famous Papunya Tula Artists, Clifford revealed through painting the stories that had once only existed briefly as markings in the sand. His purpose was to ensure the survival of Aboriginal law and connection with country. This painting depicts men and women’s ceremonies for the site of Yinyalingi, located in the heart of the artist’s ancestral homeland. Delicate concentric circles depict the underground nests of honey ants (a delicacy among desert people), excavated by an ancestral woman. Around the sides are her belt and digging stick as well as objects related to men’s ceremony. FIND: Can you find other objects important to hunting Honey Ant Ceremony and survival?
