Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report.

  • Yuranga Aboriginal Network Mildura Local Aboriginal Network
    YURANGA ABORIGINAL NETWORK MILDURA LOCAL ABORIGINAL NETWORK COMMUNITY PLAN 2020 OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RESPECT TELKI NGAWINGI (Latji Latji for Good Day) We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional owners of this Country and the Elders who have passed into the Dreaming and Elders present today who have survived the impacts of Colonisation. Our Elders are the Cornerstone of our communities and we pay our Respect to them, their journeys, their strength and their Resilience. If it were not for them, we would not be here. OFFICIAL The Yuranga Local Aboriginal Network in Mildura was established in 2008, as part of the then Victorian Government’s New Representative Arrangement for Aboriginal People living in Victoria. The LAN’s original Community Plan was Titled: “The Mildura Local Indigenous Network – The Yuranga Aboriginal Committee, Community Plan.” It’s overarching framework was the VIAF of the time. Local Aboriginal Networks (LANs) bring Aboriginal people together to set priorities develop community plans and improve social connection. Our Mildura LAN has an Aboriginal name, which means “bend in the river.” The LAN in Mildura has been active within the Mildura community and over the years has held a number of Projects and supported others, however we have worked with the local Mildura Rural City Council and have produced a video that sits on the AV Website. MRCC have endorsed our Community Plan and it also sits on their Website along with all of the Geographical Community Plans, as the Municipality’s first Cultural Plan. Our LAN now has approximately 212 participants and there are 39 LANs in the State of Victoria.

  • Society Relies on Language to Communicate Ideas and Share Information, but As with Most Things, Language Can Be Used Positively Or Negatively
    Society relies on language to communicate ideas and share information, but as with most things, language can be used positively or negatively. Unfortunately, language cannot be regarded as a neutral or unproblematic medium. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can experience language in negative ways, when it articulates the speaker’s unconscious bias, discrimination, prejudice, or racism. This document aims to clarify and inform the reader of appropriate uses of language and terms in relation to Indigenous Australian and Torres Strait Islander people/s. Appropriate and Inappropriate References and Terms Appropriate Terms Less Appropriate Terms ▪ Indigenous Australian people/s ▪ Aborigines or the Aborigines ▪ Aboriginal people/s ▪ Aboriginal, Aborigines ▪ Aboriginal person ▪ Blacks ▪ Torres Strait Islander people/s ▪ Coloured ▪ Torres Strait Islander person ▪ Native/s or the Native/s ▪ First Nations person ▪ Part-Aborigine ▪ First Nations people/s ▪ ‘full-blood’,’ half-caste’, ‘quarter-caste’ ▪ ‘octoroon’, ‘mulatto’, ‘hybrid’ There are also several slang terms that are still in use in modern vernacular, which are deemed to be racist and offensive. It is important to always keep in mind that different Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have different ways of self-referral; for example, some people dislike the word Indigenous, as it can hark back to a time when Aboriginal people were included in the flora and fauna act. The best way to find out is to politely ask. Words that can be offensive to some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may be terms that others use for self-identification such as ‘Aborigine’. You may even see it in mainstream media, articles and papers, this does not, however this does not allow you to use that term(s).

Published by Owners hold the knowledge, stories, custodial obligations and cultural University of Melbourne, 2021. knowledge that have always ensured the health of waterways and river Country. Each Nation and Traditional Owner group holds the cultural authority to speak for water, rivers and river Country within their traditional region. The Echuca Declaration states that ‘the Crown, Colonies, Commonwealth and States of Australia have been negligent in the management of the lands and waters of the Indigenous Nations causing ecosystem collapse, severe water quality degradation, extreme stress upon river ecologies and species extinction PROJECT PARTNERS at a scale and rate which is unprecedented.’ This negligence has brought ‘gross and widespread detriment to the cultural economy of the Indigenous Nations and degradation of significant landscapes and sites of spiritual and cultural importance’. We recognise that participation by First Nations and Traditional Owners in this project should not be taken as implying that any First Nation or Traditional Owner has approved of or authorised the settler-colonial water regime that has been imposed on their Country. This is the final report prepared for the Accessing Water to meet Aboriginal Economic Development Needs project (Program 1) and reflects the insights and key messages shared by Traditional Owners throughout Victoria during workshops and meetings throughout 2018-2020.
