My gratitude primarily goes to the staff and members of KALACC – Joe Brown, Butcher Wise, Tom Lawford, Ismahl Croft, Wes Morris, and Ken Robinson – as well as to the people at the MASWAC and Mangkaja Art Centres, the staff and members of the KLC and the people from the Fitzroy Valley who have taught me so much not only for my research but also for my personal life. Australian hospitality, whether Indigenous or not, is no a vain stereotype and I am indebted to a lot of people who have taken care of me, fed me, lent a swag or a mattress and have been willing to share their ideas, their family lives and affection with me. From Townsville to Fitzroy Crossing and Jarlmadangah, from Cairns to Broome and Bayulu, without forgetting Darwin, Ski Beach, Galiwin’ku and Murwangi, I have always been able to count on the generosity of the people I gratefully thank here. This research work could not have been possible without the critical help, the advice and comments that my two supervisors, Dr Rosita Henry and Dr Barbara Glowczewski have given me, and without the autonomy they let me enjoy in my endeavours. I owe to their cooperation and friendship the possibility to have undertaken this doctoral research under a joint supervision agreement signed between James Cook University and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, a rich context from which to develop bridges and correspondences between research traditions and diverging national problematics. I also wish to thank all the members of the School of Arts and Social Sciences (formerly School of Anthropology, Archaeology and Sociology), and most particularly Dr Robin Rodd and Dr Marcus Barber for the quality of their questions and hospitality. For their ongoing and extensive support, whether affective, financial or editorial, for having encouraged me to go to the other side of the world and carry on with my studies, and for their educating me into the world of art, I most warmly thyank my parents Tamara and Maxime Préaud. 5 I also wish to acknowledge the financial support of the French department of Foreign Affairs (Lavoisier cotutelle grants programme), the Laboratory of Social Anthropology and the James Cook Univeristy, without which my fieldwork could not have been possible. Throughout my journey and research, I have benefited from the wise advice and warm support from numerous colleagues and friends, in particular the Australian group gathered around Barbara Glowczewski in Paris – Pierre Brochet, Estelle Castro, Jessica de Largy Healy, Geraldine Leroux, Arnaud Morvan, Maïa Ponsonnet – and many more, known for a long or short time – Delphine, Jean Fenton, Fabio Gucci and Rebecca Coate, Simon Keenan, Bryce King, Steve Kinnane, the Koala Team, Stéphane Lacam, Marcia Langton, Bernard Moizo, Phil Palmer, Will Philipiaddis, Andrish Saint-Clare, Phyllis, Tom Vigilante, Hugh Wallace-Smith -, who have all guided me and helped me to carry out my project. I also wish to thank the researchers and academics who have invited me to present the development of my research in their seminar and and encouraged me to pursue and deepen my ideas – Laurent Barry and Jin Cheng, Bernard Muller and Thierry Bonnot, Caterina Pasqualino, Marie Salaün, Robin Rodd and the 2006 AAS conference organisers in Cairns. Last but not least, I wish to express the happiness and joy Helene Leblois has brought to my life and whose midnight “why?” questions have not only helped me finish this thesis but have given a sense to it by opening it on a shared future. Without her loving presence and her rigorous philosophical interrogations I may not have been able to complete this work. 6 A BSTRACT This thesis concerns Indigenous agency, socio-political and cultural systems, and their reproduction by means of performances within the contemporary Australian state. It examines the cultural politics of Indigeneity developed by Kimberley Aboriginal people through their regional organisations. It presents an ethnographic study of Indigenous modes of representation and organisation based on fieldwork carried out with the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre, a grass-roots Indigenous regional organisation federating thirty distinct groups, between 2005 and 2007. As such, the thesis gives particular attention to contemporary Indigenous practices of cultural representation and political action. The study aims at providing an anthropological understanding of the continuing cultural and political salience of the difference between Aboriginal people and Kartiyas . Engaging with the concept and practice of Law and Culture, initial research questions have been reframed in terms of the reproduction of the Kimberley as a set of Indigenous countries. Developing a relational approach, using a regional and a local perspective, the thesis provides with accounts of the relational field of interdependencies between the Australian State and its Indigenous habitants. Experiential and historical constructions of Country, cultural logics of Indigenous ritual and political agency, processes of indigenisation of the Australian modernity and current models of Indigenous sustainable development in the Kimberley are successively examined in order to allow for a processual and performative understanding of Indigenous articulations of their subjectivity, agency and identity. The thesis develops a theoretical framework discussing intercultural and ontological models of Indigeneity and argues for a territorialising and performative approach to the definition of Indigenous singularities, drawing on the Indigenous concepts of Country and Law and Culture to frame anew notions of orality, culture and land.

    The Googong North edition. Googonian streets, parks and playgrounds. Why we called them what we called them. The Googong North edition. Googonian streets, parks and playgrounds. A lot of thought and research has gone into the naming of Googong North’s streets, parks and playgrounds. So we thought we’d share the stories behind these names that may have already become such a familiar part of your life at Googong. The stories are all rooted in the region’s history. Googong’s parks, playgrounds and open spaces celebrate the rich history of the natural indigenous custodians of the land. The streets pay homage to the early settlers of the region, as well as places and personalities from more recent history. We hope you enjoy discovering a little more about the pre-Googonian era! 1 Googong North streets, parks and playgrounds CONTENTS STREETS GOOGONG’S NGUNAWAL A H N PAST Aitken Street 3 Hale Street 10 Nano Street 17 Alchin Street 3 Hanns Street 10 Nellie Street 17 Bunburung Thina 24 Amy Alley 3 Hawes Street 10 Newton Street 17 Annlouise Lane 3 Hawke Street 10 Norma Street 17 Nangi Pimble 24 Aprasia Avenue 3 Hearne Street 10 Ayliffe Street 3 Heath Lane 10 O Yerradhang Nguru 25 Heazlett Street 10 O’Hara Lane 17 B Helen Circuit 11 Munnagai Woggabaliri 25 Bailey Crescent 4 Henshaw Street 11 Baker Crescent 4 Hopkins Street 11 P The original residents Bambridge Parade 4 Hopper Walk 11 Percival Road 18 and their rich history 25 Banks Street 4 Pickering Street 18 Baxter Loop 4 I Plummer Street 18 Pollack Street 18 Beltana Avenue 4 Ida Lane 11 Beltana

    Kimberley Land Council Submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission Inquiry Into the Native Title Act: Issues Paper 45 General Comment

    Kimberley Land Council Submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission Inquiry into the Native Title Act: Issues Paper 45 General comment The Kimberley Land Council (KLC) is the native title representative body for the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The KLC is also a grass roots community organisation which has represented the interests of Kimberley Traditional Owners in their struggle for recognition of ownership of country since 1978. The KLC is cognisant of the limitations of the Native Title Act (NTA) in addressing the wrongs of the past and providing a clear pathway to economic, social and cultural independence for Aboriginal people in the future. The KLC strongly supports the review of the NTA by the Australian Law Reform Commission (Review) in the hope that it might provide an increased capacity for the NTA to address both past wrongs and the future needs and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The dispossession of country which occurred as a result of colonisation has had a profound and long lasting impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Country (land and sea) is centrally important to the cultural, social and familial lives of Aboriginal people, and its dispossession has had profound and continuing intergenerational effects. However, interests in land (and waters) is also a primary economic asset and its dispossession from Traditional Owners has prevented them from enjoying the benefits of its utilisation for economic purposes, and bestowed those benefits on others (in particular, in the Kimberley, pastoral, mining and tourism interests). The role of the NTA is to provide one mechanism for the original dispossession of country to be addressed, albeit imperfectly and subject to competing interests.

    MEG Musée d’ethnographie de Genève Press 4 may 2017 The Boomerang Effect. The Aboriginal Arts of Australia 19 May - 7 January 2018 Preview 18 May 2017 at 6pm White walls, neon writing, clean lines: the MEG’s new exhibition «The Boomerang Effect. The Aboriginal Arts of Australia» welcomes its visitors in a space evocative of a contemporary art gallery. Here the MEG unveils one of its finest collections and reveals the wealth of indigenous Australia's cultural heritage. Visiting this exhibition, we understand how attempts to suppress Aboriginal culture since the 18th century have ended up having the opposite of their desired effect. When James Cook landed in Australia, in 1770, he declared the country to be «no one’s land» (terra nullius), as he recognized no state authority there. This justified the island's colonization and the limitless spoliation of its inhabitants, a medley of peoples who had lived there for 60,000 years, societies which up until today have maintained a visible and invisible link with the land through a vision of the world known as the Dreaming or Dreamtime. These mythological tales recount the creation of the universe as well as the balanced and harmonious relation between all the beings inhabiting it. It is told that, in ancestral times, the Djan’kawu sisters peopled the land by naming the beings and places and then lying down near the roots of a pandanus tree to give birth to sacred objects. It is related that the Dätiwuy clan and its land was made by a shark called Mäna.

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.
