This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

In Queensland there are over 100 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and dialects; today only about 30 are spoken on a daily basis! To help raise awareness and promote Queensland’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, we are asking schools, organisations, communities, individuals, etc. to find out their local word for ‘G’day’ or ‘Hello’ and use it during this week. Talk to your local community to find out the word and how to say it! Use your library, IKC, language centre to research other local words! Share this new greeting with friends, families and others during the week! Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Language Wordlists for ‘g’day’, ‘hello’ and other greetings are posted on the State Library and Yugambeh Museum websites: SLQ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages Webpages: www.slq.qld.gov.au/resources/atsi/languages/word-lists/say-gday-in-an-indigenous-language Yugambeh Museum Website: www.yugambeh.com G’day in Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages The State Library of Queensland acknowledges that the language heritage and knowledge of these wordlists always remains with the Traditional Owners, language custodians and community members of the respective language nations.

    HOLDFAST.SA.GOV.AU P 8229 9999 A warning that some of the content within this exhibition may be considered confrontational. The language used reflects the values and norms of times gone by and is reflective of quotes and documents written many years ago. Spellings of Aboriginal words vary based on original extracts. This exhibition contains references to, or images of, Aboriginal people who have died. This exhibition has been written in collaboration between the Kaurna Nation and the City of Holdfast Bay. Tiati Wangkanthi Kumangka can be viewed in person at the Bay Discovery Centre Museum, Glenelg. Watch our social media channels to stay updated on opening times: holdfast.sa.gov.au/BDC /Bay Discovery Centre “At the white man’s school, what are the children taught? Are they told of the battles our people fought? Are they told of how our people died? Are they told why our people cried? Australia’s true history is never read, But the blackman keeps it in his head”. Anonymous Bunji 1971 TIATI (TRUTH) The quality or state of being true. That which is true or in accordance with fact or reality. “Once you start that journey with accepting each other’s truths, accepting the truths of the past, then you start that journey of talking together, walking together”. Kaurna Elder Jeffrey Newchurch, 2019 History shows that we must understand the truths of the past to avoid repeating the wrongs of the past. In 1836 in South Australia, land was appropriated by the British without treaty or compensation. This was despite clear instruction from the British Monarch that the Aboriginal population were to be recognised under the rule of law.
