Management Plan Apr 10 Date: 23/04/2010 Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan 1 INTRODUCTION Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Pty Ltd (KCGM) manages the Fimiston Operations on behalf of it’s Joint Venture Owners – Newmont Asia Pacific and Barrick (Australia Pacific) Limited. The Fimiston Operations are located in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia, immediately east of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder which is approximately 600km east of Perth. KCGM is the largest gold producing operation in Australia with an annual gold production of up to 850,000 ounces supported by an estimated gold reserve of around 10 million ounces. KCGM is currently planning to extend its operations to include the mining of a westerly cutback, known as the ‘Golden Pike Cutback’. This cutback will allow for both the widening and deepening of the pit and will extend the life of mine from 2012 to 2017. A report, Fimiston Gold Mine Operations Extension (Stage 3) and Mine Closure Planning (Report), was prepared and assessed through the Public Environmental Review (PER) process to allow the Golden Pike Cutback to proceed. The PER was approved on the 29th January 2009 by the release of the Ministerial Statement No.782. In the Report KCGM committed to prepare an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan (Plan). This Plan fulfills this commitment and also meets the requirements of Condition 12 of Ministerial Statement No.782 (Appendix 6). The development of the Plan draws on many years of consultation with the Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) and local aboriginal groups and also considers the requirements of our Joint Venture Partner’s cultural heritage standards. KCGM consulted directly with the DIA on the finalisation of the Plan with a meeting held in November 2009 at the Kalgoorlie office of the DIA at which KCGM were given approval to submit the Plan to the DIA. Subsequently the Plan was submitted to the DIA (Kalgoorlie) in December 2009. Commitment: Aboriginal culturally significant sites are protected by law and it is the intention of KCGM to abide by these laws and do all it can to assist in the protection and respect of any such sites that fall within KCGM’s area of influence. Prepared by: KCGM Version No:2.0 Page : 1 Document Name: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan Apr 10 Date: 23/04/2010 Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan 2 OBJECTIVES The objectives of this Plan are to ensure that: Aboriginal sites that lie within the vicinity of KCGM’s operations are properly respected and protected; Significant heritage sites are preserved; and All such sites are identified and locations and access conditions communicated to employees and contractors as appropriate. The principal legislation relating to Aboriginal heritage management is summarised in Table 1. KCGM aims to manage culturally significant and heritage sites in accordance with: Relevant legislation; Department of Mines and Petroleum tenement conditions; and Company standards and procedures. Prepared by: KCGM Version No:2.0 Page : 2 Document Name: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan Apr 10 Date: 23/04/2010 Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan Table 1 Legislation Relating to Aboriginal Heritage Management Legislation Summary Introduced in Western Australia in 1972 to protect Aboriginal heritage.

  • Coober Pedy, South Australia

    Coober Pedy, South Australia

    The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri).

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

My mother cultivated my joy in plants and wildlife. She introduced me to my first bush foods (including kurarra, kogla, ‘honeysuckle’, bardi grubs) on Murchison lands inhabited by Yamatji people then my European pastoralist forbearers.1 My father shares bush skills, a love of learning and long stories. He provided his Toyota vehicle and field support to me on Martu country in 1988. The dedication is also to Martu yakurti (mothers) and mama (fathers) who returned to custodial lands to make safe homes for children and their grandparents and to hold their country for those past and future generations.

AIATSIS would recommend the focus of this senate inquiry includes: consultation with traditional owner groups; native title corporations administering native title settlements and agreements bodies; Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs); Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs) and Aboriginal Land Councils: all of whom exercise responsibility for the management of the Indigenous Estate and large tracts of the National Reserve System. This critical consultation and engagement is to ensure that traditional knowledge and management is acknowledged as being an essential element in threatened species recovery, management and conservation. AIATSIS submits that acknowledging the totality of the Indigenous Estate and its interconnection with the National Reserve System is essential in terms of addressing the faunal extinction crisis across the content. Caring for Country programs, Indigenous Land and Sea Management Programs (ILSMPs) and Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) are achieving great success in terms of threatened species recovery and the eradication of feral pests and species. Please find attached the AIATSIS submission which is based upon 26 years of research and practice by AIATSIS in Indigenous cultural heritage and native title law.

This work has involved them researching with communities in central Australia and the south west of Western Australia. The discussion concerns itself with ideas and practices that come from three conceptual traditions; English, Noongar and Pitjantjatjara to talk about how to build ngapartji ngapartji (“you give and I give in return”, in Pitjantjatjara), karnya birit gnarl (respectful and kind ways of sweating/working with people, in Noongar), between marlpara (“colleagues”, in Pitjantjatjara) and involving warlbirniny quop weirn (singing out to the old people, in Noongar). Kura katitj (Introduction and background) The history of outsiders carrying out research with Indigenous Australians is long and often vexed. To say that Indigenous communities do not often benefit from the work of researchers is perhaps an understatement. Although approved by the ethical protocols of universities, much research that is undertaken “on” Indigenous people, Indigenous lands and Indigenous knowledge maintains the longstanding model of “excavating” information, artifacts and insights.
