  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.

  • CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 the Most
    CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 The most fundamental requirement to establish a permanent homeland centre equipped with facilities and services is secure land tenure. Department of Aboriginal Affairs Guidelines on outstations state that homeland centres should not be provided with fixed assets unless the group has title to the site or the formal consent of the owner. If there are traditional owners of the site, their consent should also be obtained and if the proposed site is on private land some form of tenure should be negotiated or, failing that, the consent of the landholder obtained. Given the importance of obtaining secure land tenure, one of the primary goals of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs' guidelines for homeland communities is to secure title to land in terms of land rights and excisions policies. (See Appendix 6) The Committee outlines the current position in the States and Northern Territory in relation to land tenure of homeland communities. South Australia 9.2 The Department of Aboriginal Affairs stated that most homeland centres in South Australia are on Aboriginal land and so secure tenure is not a problem. According to figures provided by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs all 50 outstations in South 163 Australia had secure tenure. Homeland centres in these areas have benefited from the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981. 9.3 However, the Department's figures do not fully represent the situation of land tenure for homeland centres in South Australia. For example, in the Pitjantjatjara homelands in South Australia there is a strong desire on the part of many residents of Indulkana to establish homeland centres on Granite Downs, a non-Aboriginal leased pastoral property.

  • Kinds of Birds
    Mabel Juli, Jiregewoorrarrem — All Kinds of Birds Exhibition 25th July to 22 August 2015, The Cross Art Projects Opening Talk, Cate Massola, of Ground Up: Community Support Network launches the catalogue Mabel Juli, Jiregewoorrarrem — All kinds of birds, text by Mabel Juli. Published by Warmun Art Centre. Mabel grew up on Springvale cattle station, which lies on her traditional country Barlinyin in the east Kimberley region of Western Australia. On Springvale station she worked around the homestead doing domestic duties. As a young woman, she moved to Bedford Downs Station and Bow River Station where she lived and worked with her husband. In the 1960s the cattle industry underwent major changes. In 1965 amendments to the Federal Pastoral Industry Award were outlined by the Federal Court and became operative from 1st December 1968. However, the changes to the Federal Pastoral Industry Award did not take effect in the Kimberley until 1969 and into the 1970s, even though they had begun in the Northern Territory. When the legislation passed, many pastoralists couldn't manage the sudden financial burden of paying their entire work force, and so Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal workers were expelled from their jobs and homes. Mabel was one of these workers, and so she moved Turkey Creek (soon to become the Warmun Community) where she has lived since. Mabel is very outspoken about the recent changes and potential shut down of remote Aboriginal communities proposed by Western Australian premier, Colin Barnett because the Warmun Community is her home now. She has been attending meetings and protests in Warmun against the closures.

It is an attempt to give voice to stories of some in the Kimberley about their experiences in the past and hopes for the future. After 1829, when Australia was considered part of the dominions of the Crown, all inhabitants, including indigenous ones, were regarded as British subjects. This privilege ended with the passing of the Commonwealth Franchise Act of 1902 and the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act of 1900 determining that Indigenous people were not citizens of Australia and could not vote. Many people devoted their lives to improve Aboriginal conditions in the Kimberley, at first they came from overseas and then from Australian volunteers.
