  • Drawing the Line Between Native and Stranger
    DRAWING THE LINE BETWEEN NATIVE AND STRANGER Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of New South Wales for the degree of Master of Fine Arts by Research by Fiona Melanay MacDonald March 2010 ABSTRACT Drawing the Line between Native and Stranger Fiona MacDonald The Research Project Drawing the Line between Native and Stranger explores the repercussions of the foundational meeting at Botany Bay through a culture of protest and opposition. The project took form as sets of print works presented in an exhibition and thus the work contributes to the ongoing body of Art produced about the ways that this foundational meeting has shaped our culture. The Research Project is set out in three broad overlapping categories: Natives and Strangers indicated in the artwork by the use of Sydney Language and specific historic texts; Environment; the cultural clash over land use, and Continuing Contest — the cycle of exploitation and loss. These categories are also integrated within a Legend that details historical material that was used in the development of the key compositional elements of the print folio. The relationship between Native and Stranger resonates in the work of many Australian artists. To create a sense of the scope, range and depth of the dialogue between Native and Stranger, artists whose heritage informs their work were discussed to throw some light from their particular points of view. In conclusion, a document and suite of print-based work traces the interaction and transformation of both Native and Stranger

  • Traditional Aboriginal Names BH Shire.Indd
    TRADITIONAL ABORIGINAL PEOPLES NAMES FOR THE NATURAL REGIONS AND FEATURES IN THE HILLS SHIRE LOCAL STUDIES INFORMATION Darug Language Group Darug1 according to Arthur Capell in 19702, was the name of the Aboriginal Peoples language group for most of the Sydney region. The Darug language has been divided into two dialects according to location; coastal and inland - the border between these two dialects was first mentioned by diarist Watkin Tench in 1793 as being just to the west of Parramatta.3 In 1987 Jim Kohen published a dictionary for the Darug inland dialect that was based on words (not place names) recorded by: - 4 Collins, Hunter and Tench in the 1790s, John Rowley in 1878 and R.H. Mathews in 1903. It is likely that the boundary between the coastal clans and inland clans ran north along the Pennant Hills Road ridge, then west along Castle Hill Road and north towards Cattai Ridge Road, Glenorie and then west to the Hawkesbury. Clans were usually named after the place where people lived, or a totem they revered.5 Clans in The Hills Shire would have included the Tuga, Burramatta, Cattai, and Bidji. It seems that the majority probably spoke the inland dialect. Their use of different resources in The Hills Shire’s natural regions of river flats, ridge tops and valleys would have caused them to give these regions special names. Regional Names Reverend William Branwhite Clarke, while headmaster of The King’s School at Parramatta and Sunday preacher to the people of the Castle Hill and Dural areas, recorded in his diary entry for November 6 18406, nine traditional placenames given to him by Narguigui7, chief of South Creek: - Darug Geographic Area Comments & Possible Meaning of Place name 8 1.

  • 2021 State of Reconciliation in Australia Report
    2021 STATE OF RECONCILIATION IN AUSTRALIA REPORT MOVING FROM SAFE TO BRAVE SUMMARY REPORT Reconciliation Australia PO Box 4773 Kingston ACT 2604 Tel: 02 6153 4400 reconciliation.org.au Reconciliation Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of Country and their cultures; and to Elders both past and present. Foreword Thirteen years ago, we witnessed a pivotal moment in Australian history and a seismic shift towards reconciliation: the Apology. While long overdue, we can credit the timing of the 2008 Apology to an urgent act of bravery—to finally and formally acknowledge the suffering caused by decades of mistreatment of Indigenous Australians. In preparing this foreword, I could not help but reflect on the day of the Apology. So many Australians had done the hard yards in the lead up to that day by learning about our shared history to better understand why an apology was necessary. Together, we stood in schools, workplaces, public places, lounge rooms and on bridges in solidarity and unity, sharing a moment of deep reflection, sorrow, and pride to be Australian. On that day, I remember saying that we looked in the mirror, and we liked what we saw. Some of the nation’s most important and difficult work is reflected in the work of Reconciliation Australia over the last 20 years. As Reconciliation Australia’s inaugural Chairman, I have witnessed the key milestones, challenges and lofty aspirations that have shaped our thinking and hopes for a better tomorrow.

Sydney Elders tells the story of four Aboriginal elders who are traditional owners of the region we know today as Sydney. The project emerged as a way of telling Sydney’s most important story — its Aboriginal story. Yet, like most Sydneysiders, I’m not from here. My family comes from over the mountains, in freshwater country, so I can’t speak for or tell the story of Sydney.
