    Aboriginal Heritage Office Yarnuping Education Series Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Northern Beaches, Strathfield and Willoughby Councils © Copyright Aboriginal Heritage Office www.aboriginalheritage.org Yarnuping 5 Sorry Day 26th May 2020 Karen Smith Education Officer Sorry Day is a day where we remember the Stolen Generations. Protection & Assimilation Policies Have communities survived the removal of children? The systematic removal and cultural genocide of children has an intergenerational, devastating effect on families and communities. Even Aboriginal people put into the Reserves and Missions under the Protectionist Policies would hide their children in swamps or logs. Families and communities would colour their faces to make them darker. Not that long after the First Fleet arrived in 1788, a large community of mixed ancestry children could be found in Sydney. They were named ‘Friday’, ‘Johnny’, ‘Betty’, and denied by their white fathers. Below is a writing by David Collins who witnessed this occurring: “The venereal disease also has got among them, but I fear our people have to answer for that, for though I believe none of our women had connection with them, yet there is no doubt that several of the Black women had not scrupled to connect themselves with the white men. Of the certainty of this extraordinary instance occurred. A native woman had a child by one of our people. On its coming into the world she perceived a difference in its colour, for which not knowing how to account, she endeavoured to supply by art what she found deficient in nature, and actually held the poor babe, repeatedly over the smoke of her fire, and rubbed its little body with ashes and dirt, to restore it to the hue with which her other children has been born.

The isolation of islands protects their inhabitants from threatening processes occurring on the mainland. Within the Northern Territory much of the information on island biota has been collected ad hoc, and is not based on intensive systematic surveys.
  • CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 the Most

    CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 the Most

    CHAPTER 9 LAND TENURE Introduction 9.1 The most fundamental requirement to establish a permanent homeland centre equipped with facilities and services is secure land tenure. Department of Aboriginal Affairs Guidelines on outstations state that homeland centres should not be provided with fixed assets unless the group has title to the site or the formal consent of the owner. If there are traditional owners of the site, their consent should also be obtained and if the proposed site is on private land some form of tenure should be negotiated or, failing that, the consent of the landholder obtained. Given the importance of obtaining secure land tenure, one of the primary goals of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs' guidelines for homeland communities is to secure title to land in terms of land rights and excisions policies. (See Appendix 6) The Committee outlines the current position in the States and Northern Territory in relation to land tenure of homeland communities. South Australia 9.2 The Department of Aboriginal Affairs stated that most homeland centres in South Australia are on Aboriginal land and so secure tenure is not a problem. According to figures provided by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs all 50 outstations in South 163 Australia had secure tenure. Homeland centres in these areas have benefited from the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981. 9.3 However, the Department's figures do not fully represent the situation of land tenure for homeland centres in South Australia. For example, in the Pitjantjatjara homelands in South Australia there is a strong desire on the part of many residents of Indulkana to establish homeland centres on Granite Downs, a non-Aboriginal leased pastoral property.

    THE TIWI MEET THE DUTCH: The First European Contacts An outline of the history of Tiwi Contact with European navigators, with special reference to the Tiwi encounter with dutch seafarers in 1705. -by- Peter Forrest For The Tiwi Land Council, PO Box 38545 Winnellie NT 0821. Darwin April 1995. ISBN 0 646 235605 2 Foreword During the past few years our people have recalled with pride a number of special moments in our history when our fathers and mothers responded to certain events of their time; our work during the Second World War, the crisis caused by Cyclone Tracy. the Bicentenary of Australia - all touching our fives and involving us all. But our history extends beyond these recent events to the beginning of time on this land. Evert as Australia itself celebrates 200 years of European settlement, we ourselves recall quite lengthy visits of European people nearly 300 years ago. Some of our school children have been enquiring about these matters and our Land Council has been pleased to produce this booklet to coincide with our commemoration of the visit of Commander van Delft 290 years ago. You will read in these pages the events of long ago. What you will not find are the names of our families who participated in these times, They belong to the songs and legends of the Tiwi, and are as real to us as the writings in this book. We are proud to belong to these families and to the traditions of courage, Integrity, pride and loyalty to each other that they established.

    THE CROKER ISLAND DECISION AND NATIVE TITLE OFFSHORE Overview Croker Island is a small island (43 km x 14.5 km) 225 km north east of Darwin, 6.5 km by boat from the Cobourg Peninsula. The waters surrounding it are the subject of the first Australian claim to exclusive native rights over the sea, lead by plaintiff Mary Yarmirr. The High Court decision on Commonwealth v Yarmirr; Yarmirr v Northern Territory was handed down on 11 October 2001.

Yet it is hard to see how such a list can be compiled until each of the states and territories has a list of its own. Several state lists have appeared in the last two decades, and the only large gaps remaining are the birds of Queensland and the Northern Territory. In choosing the second as my subject, I have undertaken much the lighter task; for the avi­ fauna of the Territory is impoverished compared to Queensland's, and its literature is far smaller. The present work is a compendium of what has been published on the occurrence, status, habitat and breeding season of Northern Territory birds, augmented with my own field notes and those of Dr. D. L. Serventy. No attempt has been made to fill the numerous gaps in the record by writing to museums and observers for information or by personally exploring un­ worked regions.
