Aboriginal Cultural Knowledge No authority is provided by First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee, Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri nations for the use of their cultural knowledge contained in this document without their prior written consent. ii Water Allocation Plan FOR THE RIVER MURRAY PRESCRIBED WATERCOURSE iii iv v Acknowledgement The South Australian Government acknowledges and respects Aboriginal people as the state’s first peoples and nations, and recognises Aboriginal people as traditional owners and occupants of land and waters in South Australia. Aboriginal peoples’ spiritual, social, cultural and economic practices come from their lands and waters, and they continue to maintain their cultural heritage, economies, languages and laws which are of ongoing importance. It is acknowledged that the lands and waters of the River Murray Prescribed Watercourse forms part of the traditional Country of the First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee Region (Ngaiawang, Ngawait, Nganguruku, Erawirung, Ngintait, Ngaralte, and Ngarkat peoples), Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri nations and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. Whilst native title determinations have been made that give legal recognition to the First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee and Ngarrindjeri native title holders over parts of the area of the Plan, the area that is currently recognised as the traditional country of Peramangk is not currently the subject of a native title claim. Should a claim be made the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board (the Board) will have regard to the native title claimants. The Board pays its respects to Aboriginal culture and to Elders both past and present. The recognition of the aspirations that the Aboriginal nations have to legal rights to Aboriginal water interests in this Plan was a starting point in 2018 for ongoing commitment to engage with Aboriginal nations in water planning. Aboriginal people should be aware that this document contains names of people who have since passed away. The term “Aboriginal” is used throughout this plan instead of “Indigenous” as endorsed by the former SA Aboriginal State-wide Advisory Committee. “Aboriginal nations” is also used throughout the Plan and is defined for the purposes of the Plan as a group or community of Aboriginal people who identify as descendants of the original inhabitants of the Plan area and may share a single common territory, or may be located as a nation within another larger nation. Where a native title determination has been made the native title holders will have native title interests within the nation and is the body that the Board will deal with for native title. It may also be the legal entity that represents the nation for other purposes or be included as a member of a wider group representing a nation (e.g. a Regional Authority). Nations are recognised as holding traditional authority and responsibility to speak for Aboriginal culture and heritage within their traditional country. The three nations whose traditional country is within this water allocation plan area have distinct culture and identities and do not necessarily identify with the words ‘Aboriginal’ or ‘cultural’ as these are non-Aboriginal terms that do not capture the complexity of their culture and identity. Therefore, where possible, we identify nations and their objectives as either First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee, Peramangk or Ngarrindjeri. vi Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ................................................................................................................................

  • 55 000 Years and Counting
    55000 years and counting: celebrating our shared history South Australian Education Pack ....Where Aboriginal Australians have been included in the life of Australia they have made remarkable contributions—economic contributions, particularly in the pastoral and agricultural industry. They are there in the frontier and exploration history of Australia. They are there in the wars. In sport to an extraordinary degree. In literature and art and music. In all these things they have shaped our knowledge of this continent and of ourselves. They have shaped our identity. They are there in the Australian legend. We should never forget—they helped build this nation. Former Prime Minister Paul Keating, Redfern Park, Sydney, 10 December 1992. 230409Reco Edu Cov Red 09.B.indd 2 22/4/09 10:19:32 PM FOREWORD The theme for this education pack is 55 000 years and counting: celebrating “ our shared history. The idea of Australia as a young nation continues to be challenged as the country embraces the ancient and ongoing cultures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the traditional custodians of this land. Acknowledging the nexus between this shared history and the fabric of contemporary Australia is critical for us as a society to forge a future, together. As educators, our role as custodians of knowledge is a profound privilege. With this privilege comes an equally profound responsibility to share this knowledge in a responsible way that encourages our students to acquire an understanding of the relevance and a respect for the factual integrity of the knowledge through inquiry. In all that we do we should have at the forefront of our minds the qualities that our students should embody as a result of the knowledge they acquire to empower them to actively participate in society as responsible citizens.

AVAILABLE FROM Adult Literacy Information Office, Level 1, 6-8 Holden Street, Ashfield, New South Wales 2131, Australia. PUB TYPE Guides Classroom Teacher (052) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC09 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Adult Literacy; Basic Skills; Foreign Countries; Instructional Materials; *Integrated Curriculum; Learning Activities; *Literacy Education; Mathematics Instruction; *Mathematics Skills; *Numeracy; Student Evaluation; Teaching Guides IDENTIFIERS Australia ABSTRACT This resource includes units of work developed by different practitioners that integrate the teaching of literacy with the teaching of numeracy in adult basic education. It is designed to provide models of integration for teachers to develop similar resources on different contexts or themes. The units follow slightly different formats. Unit lengths vary from a few sessions to the basis of a semester's work. The way in which literacy and numeracy are integrated also varies; in some units there are literacy and numeracy activities on the same theme or context, and in others activities are more closely woven. The nine sections are on these topics: water, gardens, reasonable force, aboriginal land, work, women in Australia, tourist spots, juggling pool, and banking. Components of each section include the following: learning outcomes; topics; resources; future directions; teacher notes that correlate in a column format whether the activity is primarily literacy or numeracy or both, activities, resources, and assessment; and handouts. Units list additional resources that can be used to extend the students' understanding of particular mathematical skills.
