I I I I I, iii ,I t Abstract II Dispute Resolution has become an integral part of the legal system in Australia. t However, disputes in Aboriginal communities regularly remain unresolved and often intensify to violence and injury. The literature review discusses the existing literature, I reports and reviews on Aboriginal Dispute Resolution issues including Aboriginal I, perspectives and the effects of colonisation. It shows that Australian history has been based on racism and ethnocentrism and the impact of this on contemporary issues for I Aboriginal people. It defines 'western' Dispute Resolution philosophy, the I impracticality and inappropriateness ofutilising 'western' Dispute Resolution programs for Aboriginal people without specific adaptation and modifications. The effects of I language, specifically Standard English versus Aboriginal English, legalistic language I and the consequences on communications for Aboriginal people. This research, is a qualitative study examining the outcomes and satisfaction levels of Aboriginal people I who have experienced the Dispute Resolution process designed for Aboriginal people in :1 WA and Qld. The rhetoric and realities of these programs are also debated.

  • What's in a Name? a Typological and Phylogenetic
    What’s in a Name? A Typological and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Names of Pama-Nyungan Languages Katherine Rosenberg Advisor: Claire Bowern Submitted to the faculty of the Department of Linguistics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Yale University May 2018 Abstract The naming strategies used by Pama-Nyungan languages to refer to themselves show remarkably similar properties across the family. Names with similar mean- ings and constructions pop up across the family, even in languages that are not particularly closely related, such as Pitta Pitta and Mathi Mathi, which both feature reduplication, or Guwa and Kalaw Kawaw Ya which are both based on their respective words for ‘west.’ This variation within a closed set and similar- ity among related languages suggests the development of language names might be phylogenetic, as other aspects of historical linguistics have been shown to be; if this were the case, it would be possible to reconstruct the naming strategies used by the various ancestors of the Pama-Nyungan languages that are currently known. This is somewhat surprising, as names wouldn’t necessarily operate or develop in the same way as other aspects of language; this thesis seeks to de- termine whether it is indeed possible to analyze the names of Pama-Nyungan languages phylogenetically. In order to attempt such an analysis, however, it is necessary to have a principled classification system capable of capturing both the similarities and differences among various names. While people have noted some similarities and tendencies in Pama-Nyungan names before (McConvell 2006; Sutton 1979), no one has addressed this comprehensively.

  • Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland
    Mapping the Cultural Atlas of North Queensland: Ronald “Tonky” Logan a Case Study Abstract The ‘Cultural Atlas’ proposed by the PIP (People, Identity, Place) research cluster at James Cook University aims to contextualize cultural communities and artists in North Queensland into a comprehensive profile. Case study Ronald “Tonky” Logan is a North Queensland Aboriginal Country Western musician. The secondary theme of this article is the appropriation of Country Western music by Australian Aboriginal groups as traditional music. This article draws on research by Dunbar-Hall & Gibson (2004), who demonstrate the relevance of contemporary music within Australian Aboriginal contexts, based on location and geography, as a means of establishing people, identity and place. Dr. David Salisbury James Cook University School of Creative Arts Digital Sound Introduction In 2005 the PIP (People, Identity, and Place) research cluster of James Cook University held an annual seminar during which the concept of initiating a Cultural Atlas was proposed. In March 2006 a PIP Cultural Atlas meeting was held and basic concepts were proposed including some preliminary boundaries of latitude 18, south to Bowen and Hayman Island, west to Mt. Isa and north covering the Gulf region (the Torres Strait Islands are not included). Possible outputs could be a Website as a primary means to maintain a collection of data and resources for tourism, focusing on eco and cultural-tourism CD’s and DVD’s. Initially this article aims to establish the context in which the subject of this case study, Ronald ‘Tonky’ Logan, performs and lives by outlining a brief history of Aboriginality in North Queensland along with a brief history of Aboriginal music in the region.

  • The Niche of Scientific Names
    Reviving unique words: The niche of scientific names David Nash School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics, Australian National University Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Abstract The concept of endangered word is defined. The possibility of a word being ‘the same word’ across more than one language allows for recognition of degrees of endangerment of a word. The rarer a word is cross-linguistically, the more it is at risk of fading away. A minor way to continue an endangered word, and thereby reduce its endangerment, is to incorporate it into scientific terminology, in particular into a standard biological (Linnæan) name. Some examples are given of how scientific borrowing has popularised words from severely disused languages, and of recent adoption of terms from currently endangered languages. Keywords: unique words, endangered languages, biological nomenclature, phonosemantics 1. Introduction Appeals for maintaining endangered languages usually refer to the value of special words. Examples are adduced of a word with a meaning rarely lexicalised in any language, or sometimes of a complex word combining numerous morphemes to denote an unusual meaning. (Recent examples are Abley (2005:19) on Murrinh-Patha, Harrison (2007:24,57,213) on Tofa, Evans (2010:57) on Dalabon etc.) However, each word of an endangered language L is necessarily also endangered (more or less): the words place in structural relations of phonology, syntax and semantics is compromised if those structures are waning. For each word though it would be possible to place it on a scale of endangerment; some words being more endangered than others. As L loses vigour, the next generation of speakers (or semi-speakers) will learn only some of its vocabulary and constructions.

The Guugu Yimithirr people extend an open hand to welcome you to our country – an area rich in culture, botany and history. Come and stand on our ancient lands, share our dreamtime stories and understand the roots of reconciliation that are intrinsically linked to our region. A celebration of culture, history, food, art, music and more... 2 MESSAGE FROM THE TRADITIONAL OWNER Wantharra Yurra, Gatil ngathu Erica Deeral, ngayu Waymburr Warra bama Guugu Yimithirr ngun. Hello and Welcome, my name is Erica Deeral and I am the Traditional Owner of Waymburr (Cooktown) which is part of the 32 odd clan groups of Guugu Yimithirr nation. The traditional lands of Waymburr which encompasses south-west to the Annan River and north-east to the Endeavour River. Waymburr traditionally known to the local bama (Aboriginal) was the meeting place situated between two Indigenous nations, the Guugu Yimithirr & Ku Ku Yalanji, it was a mutual area that the surrounding clan groups would gather for traditional initiations, traditional birthing’s, traditional ceremonies and cultural events. Because of the significance of the area the law of this land meant that “No blood was to be shed”. My father Eric Deeral was the second Australian Aboriginal person elected to an Australian Parliament and the first to State Parliament representing the seat of Cook. My father made it his lifelong ambition to study, research and understand the journals of Captain James Cook, Banks and Parkinson to gain an insight into the Indigenous perspective of the meeting between the Guugu Yimithirr bama, Captain James Cook and his men on the Endeavour River in 1770.
