Signature: Date: 28/10/2016 2 Ryan Presley – The Legacy of Lesser Gods Abstract This project highlights deeply embedded links between religion, economics, and power in colonial societies of the ‘West’, with a particular focus on Australia. Archival imagery and historical texts are examined to demonstrate the negative influences of particular monotheistic ideas and notions of supremacy. It is argued that these prevailing views have been adopted in the global propagation of Christian faith over many centuries. The imagery is paired with historical examples that demonstrate a conversion mentality that aimed to control any alternative practices of divine worship and associated culture. The legacy is then brought to bear on the contemporary treatment of Australian Aboriginal people. These themes of power and dominion—in particular, how religion and economic control served colonialism and empire building over time—have become the foundation for the primary outcomes expressed through the studio production. The creative outputs of my doctoral research include a major installation entitled Lesser Gods and associated exhibition projects, which will be discussed and analysed in this exegesis. 3 Ryan Presley – The Legacy of Lesser Gods Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and thank my supervisors Pat Hoffie, Elizabeth Shaw, and in particular Ross Woodrow, the latter of whom acted as my primary supervisor for the majority of my candidature and was a significant support. His interest and resourcefulness made a great contribution to many undertakings that were a part of the overall candidature. Profound thanks to Evie Franzidis for editing the final draft of my exegesis and advice during its drafting. Thanks to Sam Canning for his contribution to the Warriorism spearheads in reworking my detailed hand-drawn designs into three-dimension digitised format. I’d like to also thank Robert Andrew for his tireless work in contributing to my Lesser Gods installation and for his other assistance in offshoot experimental works. I thank Dale Harding for his time and patience as a sounding board and also for his much appreciated contributions to the Lesser Gods work. Thank you to Louise Harvey for her voluntary work on the Lesser Gods animation. Much thanks to David Jones for all his time and effort in assisting with proofing/editioning my print work over the years. Very grateful also thanks go to Carl Warner, who has been almost the sole documenter of my work. His skills, time, and ideas were essential to this project; most of the finished works in this exegesis were documented by him. Special thanks also to my sister Renée for her time and words of support. Last but not least, special thanks to my mother, Ingrid, who raised my sister and I as a single parent, worked hard to get us out of the public housing system in Alice Springs, moved us to Brisbane, and worked full-time shift work while completing university and raising us. I dedicate this to you for all the sacrifices you have made over the years and for showing me a better life and greater potentials.

We have held twelve meetings and examined 69 witnesses, of whom 48 were white and 21 black. 2. We visited Coranderrk twice, on both of which occasions we found the place clean and tidy, and the Aboriginals orderly and, to all appearance, well-fed and clad. 3. We also examined the store room, in which rations and clothing are kept, both of which wei’e of good quality. 4. The working Blacks do not obtain meat from the station, but buy it where they like, out of the wages they receive. We consider this objectionable, and suggest that they should be fully supplied with everything, and their wages adjusted accordingly. 5. We regret the absence of all kinds of vegetables, which might easily be produced on the place. 6. The health of the Aborigines seems at least as good as at any period during their residence at the station.

  • Nyungar Tradition
    Nyungar Tradition : glimpses of Aborigines of south-western Australia 1829-1914 by Lois Tilbrook Background notice about the digital version of this publication: Nyungar Tradition was published in 1983 and is no longer in print. In response to many requests, the AIATSIS Library has received permission to digitise and make it available on our website. This book is an invaluable source for the family and social history of the Nyungar people of south western Australia. In recognition of the book's importance, the Library has indexed this book comprehensively in its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI). Nyungar Tradition by Lois Tilbrook is based on the South West Aboriginal Studies project (SWAS) - in which photographs have been assembled, not only from mission and government sources but also, importantly in Part ll, from the families. Though some of these are studio shots, many are amateur snapshots. The main purpose of the project was to link the photographs to the genealogical trees of several families in the area, including but not limited to Hansen, Adams, Garlett, Bennell and McGuire, enhancing their value as visual documents. The AIATSIS Library acknowledges there are varying opinions on the information in this book. An alternative higher resolution electronic version of this book (PDF, 45.5Mb) is available from the following link.

Of the six major plant parts, seeds are the dominant source of human calories and protein.[1] The other five major plant parts are roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Most ed- ible seeds are angiosperms, but a few are gymnosperms. The most important global seed food source, by weight, is cereals, followed by legumes, and nuts.[2] The list is divided into the following categories: • Cereals (or grains) are grass-like crops that are har- vested for their dry seeds. These seeds are often ground to make flour. Cereals provide almost half of all calories consumed in the world.[3] Botanically, true cereals are members of the Poaceae, the true grass family.

  • Student Activity Sheet H22.5: Nursery Rhymes
    EPISODE 22 | 1798: SAM Unit focus: History Year levels: 3–6 EPISODE CLIP: FARM LAD ACTIVITY 1: THE RUM CORPS Subthemes: Historical events; Politics Discover As Mr Owen realises, the two soldiers who deliver Sam to the farm in My Place Episode 22 │ 1798: Sam have been indulging in some 'rum', the term used to refer to all spirits in the early days of the colony. The New South Wales Corps was a regiment formed in England in 1789 to relieve the Royal Marines, who had accompanied the First Fleet to Australia. Their wages were sometimes paid in rum, resulting in social and economic problems and explaining how they came to be known as the 'Rum Corps'. The soldiers of the Rum Corps became a powerful group in the early days of the colony, controlling trade and profiting from land grants and even challenging the supreme power of governors. Governors Hunter and King both clashed with the Rum Corps, as did Bligh, who was deposed by the Corps in the Rum Rebellion on 26 January, 1808. Eventually the Corps was sent back to London on the orders of Governor Macquarie. In small groups, ask students to research the Rum Corps and the reasons it became so powerful within the New South Wales colony. Students should draw a timeline of the events leading up to the Rum Rebellion, taking care to note any clashes between the Corps and the governors of New South Wales. Students can conduct research in the school or local library or online. As a starting point, refer to the resources listed below: 1 State Library of New South Wales and Historic Houses Trust, '1808: Bligh's Sydney Rebellion – Exhibition Guide', www.sl.nsw.gov.au/events/exhibitions/2008/politicspower/docs/bligh_guide.pdf 2 Wikipedia, 'New South Wales Corps', en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_Corps Initiate a class discussion on the factors influencing the Rum Rebellion.
