English gloss - Pinja 11 Original story by Victor Simon Jupurrurla and Maggie Blacksmith Napangardi Transcription and illustrations by Rhonda Samuels Napurrurla Edited by Valerie Patterson Napanangka English gloss by Carmel O’Shannessy with assistance from Valerie Patterson Napanangka and David Nash. Page 1. This is Victor Simon Jupurrurla speaking: This rock which I’m holding, this belongs here. Our ancestors used to make bush bread with this. They used to call this “seed”. They used to pulverise it with two rocks. Then they would make bread with it. Page 2. A lot of Warlpiri people were here, adults and children, they walked around without wearing clothes. Then white-men came on camels. Then they went from place to place for a long time. They’ve all died since then in these places. Page 3. They used to make bread like this in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening. They used to make it on the fire. Then they would eat the bread. Page 4. This country is fire-dreaming. You see that fire there, they used to bum like that, the sparks would fall in this direction. The wind would spread the sparks from the fire. A big fire was burning along here, for a long time, towards the West, near Ringer Soak. From near here, from Pinja, the fire was very big with a wide front and went along the Tanami Highway, the fire was burning all along there. Page 5. Now this is Maggie Blacksmith Napangardi speaking: This country belongs to my father’s father and mother’s father. This is not the land it used to be when my grandfathers used to walk around here. Now we, the children of our father’s father and mother’s father, walk along here now. They’ve all died, they shot them. Page 6. The white men went around here with camels, the ones who made the yard here and put in the well. The white men dug up here on the hill where the sparks fell from Marlungurru. Page 7. Our ancestors, who used to live around here, ground seeds with a stone. They cooked seed cakes using leaves, put sticks across the fire and cooked something like damper from the seed cakes. My country, Winji (Winnecke Creek), has been here from the beginning. On top of these hills we can see, kangaroos live there, no-one hunts them. See those hills in the East, sparks fell on there in this direction, they didn’t hunt game around there. 12 Page 8. They would spear game a distance away. They used to spear a lot of game. They would kill goannas, they would kill creek goannas themselves, they’d spear themselves kangaroo, they’d cook and eat it a distance away. My father and grandfather didn’t just eat anywhere, no. Our fore-fathers used to go a long way to dig for bush potatoes. Like us, our ancestors ate game, they’ve all passed away since then, Japangardi, Napangardi, Napanangka and Japanangka. They didn’t eat game right here, they ate far away. Only Jupurrurla and Jakamarra skins used to eat game close by and they also ate bread. Page 9. This is a special place. In Lajamanu we sing this traditional song: “Look at this land, look at this land, Malungurru.” Jupurrurla and Jakamarra were bom there, at Pinja. Jupurrurla is the traditional ‘manager’ who looks after Pinja. Here at Pinja two children were bom, a grandson and a daughter. Page 10. My fathers used to run along, over a long distance, looking for bush potatoes This line of hills goes across on the opposite side. You don’t take dogs around there, something might kill them, or kill you. When you drink this water here, it has healing properties. A long time ago our ancestors drank water from Pinja and Winji (Winnecke Creek). I’m going to drink some today. We will drink it today, altogether, adults and children. We’ll drink it together in one group. This work is from the Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages www.cdu.edu.au/laal.

M a y i t P l e a s e Y o u r E x c e l l e n c y — We, the Board appointed to enquire into, and report upon, the present condition and management of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station, beg leave to report as follows :— 1. 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. Please note the very large file size. http://www1.aiatsis.gov.au/exhibitions/e_access/book/m0022954/m0022954_a.pdf Consult the following resources for more information: Search the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI) : ABI contains an extensive index of persons mentioned in Nyungar tradition.

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.
