Since it began in 2OO9, CIAF has developed an enviable reputation as one of our State’s pre-eminent annual celebrations of art and culture. His Excellency In June this year I visited, with my wife Kaye, art centres in Lockhart the Honourable River and Aurukun, both north of Cairns. I spoke to many artists and Paul de Jersey AC curators, all of whom confirmed CIAF’s intrinsic value in providing a public platform to share stories of culture and country, and to sell GOVERNOR OF artistic works. QUEENSLAND, The event itself continues to provide for visitors – and indeed for all PATRON - CAIRNS exhibitors – opportunities for beneficial cultural exchange, exchange INDIGENOUS ART FAIR which ultimately builds precious goodwill in our State. In short, CIAF is an event remarkable for the vibrancy and authenticity of its offerings, and its now State-defining aspect. I thank the CIAF Board, staff and volunteers who have worked so diligently in bringing to vibrant fruition these three days of festivities. I also thank CIAF’s many sponsors and donors for their generous support, including those who this year aided in the establishment of the inaugural 2O17 CIAF Art Awards. Kaye and I wish you all an enriching and memorable CIAF experience in tropical Cairns. Celebrate it to the full! 8 CAIRNS INDIGENOUS ART FAIR 2O17 WELCOME As Patron First Nations of the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair, and also on behalf of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji people, the traditional owners of Gimuy, now known as Cairns, and of the land on which CIAF takes place, I would like to welcome you all, locals and visitors to the region alike, to what has now become one of our region’s premiere events. Most of all, I would like to extend a special welcome to and an acknowledgement of our First Nations’ artists, many who are from our regional communities throughout north Queensland and the Torres Strait – the people who ultimately give CIAF its extraordinary Henrietta reputation as the country’s pre-eminent Indigenous Art Fair. To you all – our visual artists who work in and explore many different media, Fourmile-Marrie our fashion designers and models, our musicians and dancers, and all PATRON FIRST NATIONS our Indigenous entrepreneurs and business people who are also part CAIRNS INDIGENOUS of the wider CIAF community and who participate in and support not only CIAF itself, but also its many satellite events. ART FAIR I would particularly like to acknowledge and thank our inaugural award sponsors. Such awards are particularly important, not only for the financial rewards and opportunities for professional development they bestow on our outstanding achievers, but also for the particular recognition they bring to the recipients. CIAF also exists in an increasingly competitive environment as more and more First Nations art festivals and fairs are emerging around the country. CIAF must remain steadfast in encouraging the excellence and diversity of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from Queensland, many of whom have already achieved both national and international acclaim. The on-going support of our local arts education and training centres and venues is also essential in building up the skills and professionalism of our artists, musicians, dancers, fashion designers and actors contributing to CIAF. It is in this context that I am also proud to announce that the Cairns Campus of CQ University, this year, began offering a bachelor degree in creative industries with courses in music, dance, drama and Indigenous arts. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduates in the years to come will have opportunities to contribute to and expand CIAF’s showcase of northern talent to ensure that CIAF remains unique in our increasingly crowded festival world. In our collective endeavours to maintain the pre-eminence of CIAF, I would also like to acknowledge the work and effort of our local Indigenous arts organisations and the support of the Cairns Regional Council, the Queensland Government and the Australia Council for the Arts. I would also like to acknowledge the continued leadership of the CIAF board of directors, the CIAF team who put it all together, and the support

  • ABORIGINAL and TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLES and PSYCHOLOGY INTEREST GROUP/AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS PSYCHOLOGIST ASSOCIATION JOINT NEWSLETTER
    ABORIGINAL and TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLES and PSYCHOLOGY INTEREST GROUP/AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS PSYCHOLOGIST ASSOCIATION JOINT NEWSLETTER The Australian Psychological Society (APS) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and Psychology Interest Group (Interest Group) respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which our members live and work. Together with the wider APS, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and Psychology Interest Group is committed to working in partnership with Indigenous psychologists and communities to meet the social and emotional wellbeing and mental health needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The Terms of Reference of the Interest Group are: • promoting the psychological study and advocacy of issues related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; • improving relationships between psychologists and the Australian Indigenous community; • providing advice to psychologists working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities; • the development of ethical guidelines for the provision of psychological services; and • conducting research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples Artwork: Song Lines – Connecting Communities Across Country The artwork on our newsletter depicts the cultural connections between people and sharing Aboriginal cultural knowledge within communities. The piece also carries with it a depth of understanding of how beautiful yet fragile the land and our environment is that we collectively live on. It further reflects major cultural and environmental understandings (shared by Elders to the artists) of the role the natural world plays in the lives of humanity – and the importance of the eco-system and the connections between all living things and water ways– all dependant on working together to survive – similar to that of the collective humanity.

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.
