    Durithunga – Growing, nurturing, challenging and supporting urban Indigenous leadership in education John Davis-Warra Bachelor of Arts (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Studies & English) Post Graduate Diploma of Education Supervisors: Associate Professor Beryl Exley Associate Professor Karen Dooley Emeritus Professor Alan Luke Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Durithunga, education, Indigenous, leadership. Durithunga – Growing, nurturing, challenging and supporting urban Indigenous leadership in education i Language Weaves As highlighted in the following thesis, there are a number of key words and phrases that are typographically different from the rest of the thesis writing. Shifts in font and style are used to accent Indigenous world view and give clear signification to the higher order thought and conceptual processing of words and their deeper meaning within the context of this thesis (Martin, 2008). For ease of transition into this thesis, I have created the “Language Weaves” list of key words and phrases that flow through the following chapters. The list below has been woven in Migloo alphabetical order. The challenge, as I explore in detail in Chapter 5 of this thesis, is for next generations of Indigenous Australian writers to relay textual information in the languages of our people from our unique tumba tjinas. Dissecting my language usage in this way and creating a Language Weaves list has been very challenging, but is part of sharing the unique messages of this Indigenous Education field research to a broader, non- Indigenous and international audience. The following weaves list consists of words taken directly from the thesis.

Protecting, preserving and promoting Aboriginal arts, cultures, heritage and knowledge using 3D virtual technologies. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research), Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology, 2014 Image 1 - This virtual screen shot is from Vincent’s World and represents a re-create of a view and path (Songline) around the base of the Tombs in the Mt Moffatt Section of Carnarvon Gorge. This document meets the requirements of a presentation of thesis by published as specified in Section 123 of the Queensland University of Technology MOPP. 2 Keywords Australia, Aboriginal Australia, Aboriginal Virtual Heritage, Aboriginal Digital Heritage, Indigenous history, arts and culture, virtual technologies, virtual reality, digital knowledge management, virtual culture, digital culture, digital mapping, spatial knowledge management, spatial systems 3 Abstract Cultural knowledge is a central tenant of identity for Aboriginal people and it is vitally important that the preservation of heritage values happens. Digital Songlines is a project that seeks to achieve this and was initiated as a way to develop the tools for recording cultural heritage knowledge in a 3D virtual environment. Following the delivery of a number of pilots the plan is to develop the software as a tool and creative process that anyone can use to record tangible and intangible natural and cultural heritage knowledge and to record the special significance of this knowledge as determined by the traditional owners.
