Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians
Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures, 2014. Edited by Helaine Selin. Springer Netherlands, preprint. Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians Duane W. Hamacher Nura Gili Centre for Indigenous Programs, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia Email: [email protected] Of the hundreds of distinct Aboriginal cultures of Australia, many have oral traditions rich in descriptions and explanations of comets, meteors, meteorites, airbursts, impact events, and impact craters. These views generally attribute these phenomena to spirits, death, and bad omens. There are also many traditions that describe the formation of meteorite craters as well as impact events that are not known to Western science. Comets Bright comets appear in the sky roughly once every five years. These celestial visitors were commonly seen as harbingers of death and disease by Aboriginal cultures of Australia. In an ordered and predictable cosmos, rare transient events were typically viewed negatively – a view shared by most cultures of the world (Hamacher & Norris, 2011). In some cases, the appearance of a comet would coincide with a battle, a disease outbreak, or a drought. The comet was then seen as the cause and attributed to the deeds of evil spirits. The Tanganekald people of South Australia (SA) believed comets were omens of sickness and death and were met with great fear. The Gunditjmara people of western Victoria (VIC) similarly believed the comet to be an omen that many people would die. In communities near Townsville, Queensland (QLD), comets represented the spirits of the dead returning home. -
Aboriginal and Indigenous Languages; a Language Other Than English for All; and Equitable and Widespread Language Services
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 355 819 FL 021 087 AUTHOR Lo Bianco, Joseph TITLE The National Policy on Languages, December 1987-March 1990. Report to the Minister for Employment, Education and Training. INSTITUTION Australian Advisory Council on Languages and Multicultural Education, Canberra. PUB DATE May 90 NOTE 152p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC07 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Advisory Committees; Agency Role; *Educational Policy; English (Second Language); Foreign Countries; *Indigenous Populations; *Language Role; *National Programs; Program Evaluation; Program Implementation; *Public Policy; *Second Languages IDENTIFIERS *Australia ABSTRACT The report proviCes a detailed overview of implementation of the first stage of Australia's National Policy on Languages (NPL), evaluates the effectiveness of NPL programs, presents a case for NPL extension to a second term, and identifies directions and priorities for NPL program activity until the end of 1994-95. It is argued that the NPL is an essential element in the Australian government's commitment to economic growth, social justice, quality of life, and a constructive international role. Four principles frame the policy: English for all residents; support for Aboriginal and indigenous languages; a language other than English for all; and equitable and widespread language services. The report presents background information on development of the NPL, describes component programs, outlines the role of the Australian Advisory Council on Languages and Multicultural Education (AACLAME) in this and other areas of effort, reviews and evaluates NPL programs, and discusses directions and priorities for the future, including recommendations for development in each of the four principle areas. Additional notes on funding and activities of component programs and AACLAME and responses by state and commonwealth agencies with an interest in language policy issues to the report's recommendations are appended. -

Section 14 Draft Environmental Impact Statement Cultural Heritage
McArthur River Mine Open Cut Project Section 14 Draft Environmental Impact Statement Cultural Heritage 1 Cultural Heritage 14.0 Cultural Heritage 14.1 Introduction The MRM project is on lands that were traditionally used by the Gudanji, Binbinga and Yanyula people. Borroloola and its immediate surrounds have residents from a number of Aboriginal groups and include the Garawa, Mara and Alawa people. Not all of these groups are traditional owners of lands likely to be directly affected through the open cut development, but they have historically been consulted about the mine as members of the local community. In recent years a number of Aboriginal site investigation studies have been undertaken and agreements have been made with the traditional owners for the current mining lease approvals. In addition, site investigations have also been undertaken for the areas to be affected by the open cut project. 14.2 Measures to Protect Aboriginal Heritage The region in which the mine is located has long been, and continues to be, an area of importance to Aboriginal people. While many Aboriginal people still live in the general region of the mine, no-one lives in the immediate vicinity of the mine. MRM maintains a neighbourly relationship with Aboriginal communities in the area. MRM’s Community Relations Department staff have built up a solid working relationship with local Aboriginal people over the years. This has enabled positive interactions to take place on matters of Aboriginal cultural heritage in cases where the mine’s activities may come into contact with areas of significance to local people. As part of its mine planning, MRM undertakes archaeological and ethnographic surveys of all land it may wish to disturb. -
Community Engagement Guidelines Coen
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GUIDELINES COEN The Commission would like to thank the Local Commissioners for providing advice and guidance into the development of this document in regard to their specific communities. The Commission also wishes to acknowledge receiving information and support to produce this document from partner Queensland and Australian Government agencies and departments. Page 2 The Commission recognises we are visitors to the country we travel across and work in and that many of our Local Commissioners are Traditional Owners and Elders of their communities. The Commission acknowledges and pays our respects to the Traditional Owners, Elders and Teachers of these lands. To those of the past whose unseen hands guide the actions and decisions of the Commissioners today; to those of the present working for their communities and setting an example for the next generation and to those of the future, the Elders not yet born who will inherit the legacy of our efforts. Page 3 COMMUNITY PROTOCOLS Prior to visiting Coen it is important that one has some knowledge of its history along with an overview of how to engage with members of the Aboriginal community. The need for protocols is not solely an Indigenous or Aboriginal issue. Community protocols establish modes of behaviour and communication which demonstrate respect for individual residents and the diversity of other cultures. The Australian Aboriginal culture differs significantly from the Australian non- Aboriginal culture. It is therefore essential to understand the relevant cultural disparities and protocols in order to gain respect and effectively engage with the Aboriginal community. The appreciation of cultural morays including understanding the position and status of people within the local Aboriginal community assists in successfully engaging with Indigenous peoples. -

Well here it is. At last the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Thesaurus, is ready. However, although this edition is ready, I foresee that there will be a need for another and another, because language is fluid and will change over time. As one of the compilers of the thesaurus I am glad it is finally completed and available for use. -

82 3.3.4.4.3 Ecogeographic studies of the cranial shape The measurement of the human head of both the living and dead has long been a matter of interest to a variety of professions from artists to physicians and latterly to anthropologists (for a review see Spencer 1997c). The shape of the cranium, in particular, became an important factor in schemes of racial typology from the late 18th Century (Blumenbach 1795; Deniker 1898; Dixon 1923; Haddon 1925; Huxley 1870). Following the formulation of the cranial index by Retzius in 1843 (see also Sjovold 1997), the classification of humans by skull shape became a positive fashion. Of course such classifications were predicated on the assumption that cranial shape was an immutable racial trait. However, it had long been known that cranial shape could be altered quite substantially during growth, whether due to congenital defect or morbidity or through cultural practices such as cradling and artificial cranial deformation (for reviews see (Dingwall 1931; Lindsell 1995). Thus the use of cranial index of racial identity was suspect. Another nail in the coffin of the Cranial Index's use as a classificatory trait was presented in Coon (1955), where he suggested that head form was subject to long term climatic selection. In particular he thought that rounder, or more brachycephalic, heads were an adaptation to cold. Although it was plausible that the head, being a major source of heat loss in humans (Porter 1993), could be subject to climatic selection, the situation became somewhat clouded when Beilicki and Welon demonstrated in 1964 that the trend towards brachycepahlisation was continuous between the 12th and 20th centuries in East- Central Europe and thus could not have been due to climatic selection (Bielicki & Welon 1964). -
