We also value and respect the contributions of earlier generations, including the Elders, who passed on their knowledge of natural resource management. We acknowledge that the Traditional Owners of these catchments have a deep cultural connection to their lands and waters, and that the knowledge and cultural values of Traditional Owners need to be recognised in water planning. The Queensland Government would also like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions, knowledge and guidance provided by many people from the Aboriginal nations in the northern Murray–Darling Basin catchments. We are committed to continuing to engage with Aboriginal people into the future and to ensure the water resources in the Queensland Murray–Darling Basin are managed sustainably into the future. We consider this the start of a longer journey. 3 Contents Guide to the water planning engagement process 8 Aboriginal people’s connection to water 12 What has happened so far? 22 Engagement with

overview – Aboriginal people’s connection to water This chapter describes how Aboriginal people have a strong connection to waterways, and how the Queensland Government has worked over the last five years to learn more about the cultural, spiritual, social, environmental and economic importance of water for Aboriginal people, and applied this to its water planning process. • To Aboriginal people, water is part of one connected system that includes the land, people and all living things, and has spiritual, cultural, social, economic and environmental value. • Aboriginal people have knowledge and perspectives that are needed to ensure sustainable water management is achieved, yet have not been included to the same extent in past processes. • The government has reviewed plans to better manage the rivers and groundwater in the Condamine–Balonne, Border Rivers and Moonie catchments in Queensland, including through consultation with Aboriginal people on their cultural values and uses of water. • The government is now committed to engaging over the life of the plans to ensure the views and voices of Aboriginal people continue to be heard and we improve our common understanding of cultural requirements for water. 11 1 Aboriginal people’s connection to water The Condamine–Balonne, Moonie and Border Rivers catchments are the traditional lands and waters of Aboriginal people from 14 Aboriginal nations (see Figure 3).

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.

  • Evolution of Rights to Self-Determinism of Aboriginal People: a Comparative Analysis of Land Rights Reforms in Australia Alex Sadler, Divya Gupta Bowdoin College
    Indigenous Policy Journal Vol. XXIX, No. 3 (Winter 2019) Evolution of Rights to Self-Determinism of Aboriginal People: A Comparative Analysis of Land Rights Reforms in Australia Alex Sadler, Divya Gupta Bowdoin College Abstract Despite Australia’s ratification of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2009, Aboriginal peoples continue to face obstacles in exercising their inherent rights to self-determination and to free, prior and informed consent regarding the development of their traditional land. Recent decades have seen advancements in legislation and government-backed programming to support the recognition of Aboriginal peoples’ land rights; however, the current framework often fails to achieve meaningful outcomes for impacted communities. This paper provides an overview of Australia’s current legislative and programming efforts to secure Aboriginal peoples’ land rights, evaluating the benefits and downsides to each initiative from a rights- based perspective, with the aim of promoting productive discourse on pathways to protecting and implementing the rights enshrined in the UNDRIP. Introduction In 2009, Australia ratified the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), after being one of only four countries to vote against its adoption in 2007. In reversing its decision, Australia symbolically demonstrated its commitment to the global shift towards the recognition of indigenous peoples’ inherent rights, which as the Declaration outlines derive from “their political, economic and social structures and from their cultures, spiritual traditions, histories and philosophies.” (United Nations, 2008) Although the UNDRIP covers a range of rights, from culture and identity to employment and education, a core focus of the agreement is the right of indigenous peoples to determine the development of their people and traditional land according to their own needs and interests.

This editorial assistance included: a review of the final thesis document on language usage; checks for completeness and consistency in the content; and a review of the references in the document to ensure that they met APA citation style standards. Charlotte has editorial experience in reviewing work for Indigenous students and is familiar with Indigenous terminology. ii Weaving the past into the present: Indigenous stories of education across generations Abstract In Queensland, there is little research that speaks to the historical experiences of schooling. Aboriginal education remains a part of the silenced history of Aboriginal people. This thesis presents stories of schooling from Aboriginal people across three generations of adult storytellers. Elders, grandparents, and young parents involved in an early childhood urban playgroup were included. Stories from the children attending the playgroup were also welcomed. The research methodology involved narrative storywork. This is culturally appropriate because Aboriginal stories connect the past with the present.
