NAIDOC Week, celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and this year’s theme was ‘Voice, Treaty, Truth’. Did you know that NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’? This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week and its acronym has since become the name of the week itself. At our community event, an Acknowledgment of Country recognising the Traditional Owners of the area, the Yugambeh People, kicked things off and then the fun began. Participants enjoyed boomerang throwing, ochre body painting and emu feather adornment as well as traditional fire making with just two sticks, dry grass and their hands. Rick offered up $50 if anyone managed to start a fire. Despite best efforts the $50 remains unclaimed after 34 years of him presenting these workshops. Thank you to everyone who came along for a fun morning. The community cultural workshop offered participants the opportunity to try their hand at Aborig- inal traditions including boomerang throwing, ochre body painting, fire starting and emu feather adornment Meet Ketty! As the fourth member of her family to purchase at Yarrabilba, Ketty and her family are excited to be joining the Yarrabilba community early next year when their new home is complete.

  • A Thesis Submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020

    A Thesis Submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020

    SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF WATER – THE WATER WAYS A thesis submitted by Dale Wayne Kerwin For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the acculturation of the Australian landscape by the First Nations people of Australia who named it, mapped it and used tangible and intangible material property in designing their laws and lore to manage the environment. This is taught through song, dance, stories, and paintings. Through the tangible and intangible knowledge there is acknowledgement of the First Nations people’s knowledge of the water flows and rivers from Carpentaria to Goolwa in South Australia as a cultural continuum and passed onto younger generations by Elders. This knowledge is remembered as storyways, songlines and trade routes along the waterways; these are mapped as a narrative through illustrations on scarred trees, the body, engravings on rocks, or earth geographical markers such as hills and physical features, and other natural features of flora and fauna in the First Nations cultural memory. The thesis also engages in a dialogical discourse about the paradigm of 'ecological arrogance' in Australian law for water and environmental management policies, whereby Aqua Nullius, Environmental Nullius and Economic Nullius is written into Australian laws. It further outlines how the anthropocentric value of nature as a resource and the accompanying humanistic technology provide what modern humans believe is the tool for managing ecosystems. In response, today there is a coming together of the First Nations people and the new Australians in a shared histories perspective, to highlight and ensure the protection of natural values to land and waterways which this thesis also explores.
  • Native Title and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management

    Native Title and Indigenous Cultural Heritage Management

    Native title and Indigenous cultural heritage management BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Robert Williams and Pamela F McGrath Native Title Research Unit October 2014 Preface This bibliography aims to provide readers with a comprehensive list of relevant legislation, research and commentary on Indigenous cultural heritage management in Australia since the implementation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). This resource has been produced as part of a three-year AIATSIS Native Title Research Unit project about cultural heritage protection in the era of native title. It addresses a need for bibliographic resources about current state and Commonwealth Indigenous cultural heritage management regimes and their interaction with native title rights and policy. It is intended as a guide to assist native title groups, practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others with locating and accessing information relevant to their own projects. The bibliography is arranged both by jurisdiction and theme and covers a number of significant issues relating to cultural heritage management for native title groups and other stakeholders: best practice, future acts and agreement making, governance, cumulative impacts, knowledge management, relevant case law and native title archaeology. The bibliography was primarily prepared through desktop research utilising government websites and publications, online databases, and various research institutions and university archives. Information was also sought via personal correspondence on an informal basis with key stake holders within the heritage sector. We especially wish to thank Carolyn Tan for allowing us to draw extensively on references to relevant case law cited in her PhD thesis. This bibliography is intended to be a living document that is added to and improved upon over time.

    Anti-Colonial Constructions of the Non-Aboriginal Self. Michelle Carey

    Whitefellas and Wadjulas: Anti-colonial Constructions of the non-Aboriginal Self. Michelle Carey. B.A. M.Litt. This thesis is submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution Michelle Carey Abstract In this thesis, I argue for anti-colonial constructions of the non-Aboriginal self. I take as my starting point that members of the invader/settler society in Australia must place them/ourselves in “an embodied awareness of ‘being in Indigenous sovereignty’” (Nicholl, 2004: 17) and name them/ourselves accordingly. An anti-colonial construction of non-Aboriginality formed within the locus of Aboriginal Sovereignty undermines the potency of ‘post-colonial’ processes of identity formation, which privilege the colonialist centre, and the concomitant marginalised position of Indigenous people. Thus, an anti-colonial construction of non-Aboriginality constitutes a radical recentring for processes of identity construction within invader/settler societies. This work responds to critical whiteness studies and post-colonial discourses of ‘belonging’. I acknowledge both whiteness studies and work on invader/settler belongings have gained traction in recent years as a means to problematise the whiteness of the settler/invader group and the legitimacy of their/our belongings. However, I argue they continue to operate within colonialist paradigms and perpetuate (neo)colonial power relations. In this thesis, I argue anti-colonial constructions of non-Aboriginality are constructed in dialogue with Aboriginal people. I conceive non-Aboriginality as a political identity that rejects ‘race’ and ‘colour’ as markers for identity.

They came not primarily to seek a better future for themselves, but with the express intention of conducting an Aboriginal mission. This group germinated three of the first four mission attempts in Queensland, and their failure left a significant gap in Queensland’s mission effort until the 1870s, by which time the frontier wars were practically over. Aboriginal people came under siege as Queensland increased its white popula- tion twenty-fold (from around 23,000 to nearly 500,000) during its forty years as a colony, mostly through targeted migration (88 per cent of migrants were government-assisted) with a European participation rate of around 20 per cent.1 Germans became the most significant group of non-British settlers, with close to 15,000 residents in 1891.2 German-speakers made a disproportionate contribution to Aboriginal mission in Queensland until World War I.
