    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by espace@Curtin i Centre for Aboriginal Studies The Legacy of the Late Edward Mippy: An Ethnographic Biography Bernard Rooney This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Curtin University of Technology March 2002 ii TO MY FRIEND THE LATE EDWARD “NED” MIPPY iii ABSTRACT Cast in the dual genre of ethnographic biography, this thesis is focused on the life, work and vision of the late Edward “Ned” Mippy, an Aboriginal Elder of the Yuat Nyoongara Community who devoted the latter years of his life to promoting and developing the cultural identity of his people. As biography, it portrays the life of Mr. Mippy with particular emphasis on the factors which help to highlight his understandings and his vision for an Indigenous cultural renewal. As ethnography, the study is intended as a vehicle for wider concerns, evoking an interpretative glimpse of his community and contributing a new perspective of that community as a continuing social entity. These aims are broadly set forth in the brief introduction. The first chapter of the thesis then outlines the origin and development of the research project and the evolution of its methodology. Chapter two presents a picture of Mr. Mippy’s life experience, largely in terms of his own recorded memories and perceptions, while chapter three places his later life in a community context which includes historical, personal and demographic perspectives. The following two chapters, four and five, present various accounts of the work undertaken by Edward Mippy.

I will look at some of the landmark works of history produced by both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people over the last fifty years, and will talk about some of the issues I faced when writing about the Freedom Ride of 1965, and about government policies, settler attitudes, and Aboriginal responses to colonisation in the nineteenth century. I will ask why, given the extensive body of knowledge about Aboriginal history expressed in books, film, and television, we still find that many people are unaware of that history, cannot acknowledge the destructiveness of colonisation, and see little connection between past events, present concerns, and plans for the future. John Maynard, ‘Tokol – talking straight history’ Tokol is a local Awabakal (Newcastle) word recorded by the missionary Threlkeld in the years 1821-1850 meaning – truth, to be true, straight.

The Noongar people have developed, refined and employed knowledge of the natural environment for tens of thousands of years, and this knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation. This traditional ecological knowledge is extremely valuable in enhancing the ways we care for our environment.

    Germany, offers much to admire. Apart from the many historical mon- uments, the bookshops alone - the range of titles they carry, the service they provide if what one wants is out of stock - are enough to drive one crazy. As a holiday-maker, however, as a visitor whose stay cannot be long, one is apt, in the excitement of exploration and discovery, or in rushing to the theatre or to this or that concert, to imagine cultural opportunities necessarily mean more here than at home. The fact, that one is experiencing the culture through the medium of a language acquired by study, inclines one to be impressed, easily pleased and optimistic. One tends, maybe, to construct and preserve in one's mind an image of city and society as charming and misleading as the Budden- brook facade. But what, one might ask, do the history and traditions of Luebeck mean to her stevedores, for example? How many teenagers in the city know who Thomas Mann was, or could truthfully say they read even one of his stories? And what of poetry, so little regarded in Australia, the concern, outside classroom and lecture theatre, seemingly of poets and pretenders only? Does it really engage more of the public's time and intelligence in North Germany than in North Queensland? The brevity of my stop-over in Luebeck does not permit me to answer such questions with authority. I can only report that on December 12, 1985, in the Zentrum on the corner of the Mengstrasse and An der Untertrave, a fascinating, totally committed performance of "Lyrisches Koerpertheater" was loudly applauded by an enthusiastic audience of ten.
