Justice North handed down the Federal Court’s decision at an on-country determination at Anna Plains Station. The Kimberley Land Council and the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation acted on behalf of the Karajarri and Nyangumarta claimants to negotiate native title across 2000 square kilometres of land and sea country across Anna Plains Station, a portion of Mandora Station and 80 Mile Beach, in the East Pilbara and West Kimberley regions of WA. Kimberley Land Council Executive Board Member and Karajarri Traditional Owner Anthony Watson said the Nyangumarta/ Karajarri joint native title determination highlighted how two tribal groups could work together to achieve land rights. “Today’s determination is about co- operation and respect for each other.

Little Karajarri elder Lenny Hopiga and Nyangumarta elder Nyaparu (Margaret) Rose news I 3 Recognition of native title over shared country Karajarri Traditional Owner Thomas King said Friday’s determination was the final step for his people in securing native title across all their traditional country. “All our land and sea country is now covered by native title. This shows the commitment and determination of our people to pursue land rights. But native title is about more than land rights, it’s about finally being recognised as the traditional owners of our country,’’ he said. “Our people have a great connection to country. Our law, language and culture are vibrant and alive. We want to leave a lasting legacy for our children and with today’s native title determination we can achieve that.’’ Nyangumarta elder Charlie Wright Karajarri Rangers news I 4 Nyangumarta people welcoming Justice North to country The determination is comprised of mostly non-exclusive native title rights, permitting Traditional Owners to hunt, fish, gather, access and conduct ceremonies on their ancestral lands. Simon Hawkins, CEO of YMAC, congratulated the groups on their achievement, “The Nyangumarta and Karajarri people should be very proud, this is a positive achievement for everyone.

    YAMATJI MARLPA BARNA BABA MAAJA ABORIGINAL CORPORATION A Submission to the Inquiry into Native Title Representative Bodies by the NATIVE TITLE AND THE ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER LAND FUND COMMITTEE (JPC 2004/5) from the Yamatji Marlpa Barna Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation February 2005 YAMATJI MARLPA BARNA BABA MAAJA ABORIGINAL CORPORATION CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY……………………………………………….….………3 ABOUT YMBBMAC……………………………………………..………………….7 PERFORMANCE………………………………..…………………………………10 FUNDING OF NATIVE TITLE REPRESENTATIVE BODIES…………......19 LIST OF ANNEXURES…………………………………………..……………….27 2 YAMATJI MARLPA BARNA BABA MAAJA ABORIGINAL CORPORATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY KEY POINTS 1. The high standard of work provided by YMBBMAC has led to significant achievements for claimants. 2. Strategically, the organisation aims to build relationships in order to improve outcomes for its clients. Illustrating this, YMBBMAC is a member of the WA Chamber of Minerals and Energy and the WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 3. Working groups provide a system of decision-making that is effective, resilient, and has a high degree of community ownership. 4. Funding continues to limit the potential of the organisation. YMBBMAC can improve its performance and achieve agreed outcomes, with additional funding. 5. High level of activity in the Pilbara is demanding considerable resources from the organisation. In order to meet fully the demands of this historic expansion, YMBBMAC requires additional funding. ABOUT YMBBMAC The Yamatji Marlpa Barna Baba Maaja Aboriginal Corporation (YMBBMAC) is the native title representative body (NTRB) for native title claims in the Pilbara, Murchison and Gascoyne representative areas of Western Australia. WORKING GROUPS The use of working groups has set YMBBMAC apart in terms of its ability to operate efficiently, its support from its membership and its ability to produce successful, lasting agreements.

  • A Grammatical Sketch of Ngarla: a Language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY master thesis The department for linguistics and philology spring term 2007 A grammatical sketch of Ngarla: A language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund Supervisor: Anju Saxena Abstract In this thesis the basic grammatical structure of normal speech style of the Western Australian language Ngarla is described using example sentences taken from the Ngarla – English Dictionary (by Geytenbeek; unpublished). No previous description of the language exists, and since there are only five people who still speak it, it is of utmost importance that it is investigated and described. The analysis in this thesis has been made by Torbjörn Westerlund, and the focus lies on the morphology of the nominal word class. The preliminary results show that the language shares many grammatical traits with other Australian languages, e.g. the ergative/absolutive case marking pattern. The language also appears to have an extensive verbal inflectional system, and many verbalisers. 2 Abbreviations 0 zero marked morpheme 1 first person 1DU first person dual 1PL first person plural 1SG first person singular 2 second person 2DU second person dual 2PL second person plural 2SG second person singular 3 third person 3DU third person dual 3PL third person plural 3SG third person singular A the transitive subject ABL ablative ACC accusative ALL/ALL2 allative ASP aspect marker BUFF buffer morpheme C consonant CAUS causative COM comitative DAT dative DEM demonstrative DU dual EMPH emphatic marker ERG ergative EXCL exclusive, excluding addressee FACT factitive FUT future tense HORT hortative ImmPAST immediate past IMP imperative INCHO inchoative INCL inclusive, including addressee INSTR instrumental LOC locative NEG negation NMLISER nominaliser NOM nominative N.SUFF nominal class suffix OBSCRD obscured perception P the transitive object p.c.

    P129: The Personal Archives of Alfred Reginald RADCLIFFE-BROWN (1881- 1955), Professor of Anthropology 1926 – 1931 Contents Date Range: 1915-1951 Shelf Metre: 0.16 Accession: Series 2: Gift and deposit register p162 Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown was born on 17 January 1881 at Aston, Warwickshire, England, second son of Alfred Brown, manufacturer's clerk and his wife Hannah, nee Radcliffe. He was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1905, M. A. 1909), graduating with first class honours in the moral sciences tripos. He studied psychology under W. H. R. Rivers, who, with A. C. Haddon, led him towards social anthropology. Elected Anthony Wilkin student in ethnology in 1906 (and 1909), he spent two years in the field in the Andaman Islands. A fellow of Trinity (1908 - 1914), he lectured twice a week on ethnology at the London School of Economics and visited Paris where he met Emily Durkheim. At Cambridge on 19 April 1910 he married Winifred Marie Lyon; they were divorced in 1938. Radcliffe-Brown (then known as AR Brown) joined E. L. Grant Watson and Daisy Bates in an expedition to the North-West of Western Australia studying the remnants of Aboriginal tribes for some two years from 1910, but friction developed between Brown and Mrs. Bates. Brown published his research from that time in an article titled “Three Tribes of Western Australia”, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 43, (Jan. - Jun., 1913), pp. 143-194. At the 1914 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Melbourne, Daisy Bates accused Brown of gross plagiarism.

  • Noun Phrase Constituency in Australian Languages: a Typological Study
    Linguistic Typology 2016; 20(1): 25–80 Dana Louagie and Jean-Christophe Verstraete Noun phrase constituency in Australian languages: A typological study DOI 10.1515/lingty-2016-0002 Received July 14, 2015; revised December 17, 2015 Abstract: This article examines whether Australian languages generally lack clear noun phrase structures, as has sometimes been argued in the literature. We break up the notion of NP constituency into a set of concrete typological parameters, and analyse these across a sample of 100 languages, representing a significant portion of diversity on the Australian continent. We show that there is little evidence to support general ideas about the absence of NP structures, and we argue that it makes more sense to typologize languages on the basis of where and how they allow “classic” NP construal, and how this fits into the broader range of construals in the nominal domain. Keywords: Australian languages, constituency, discontinuous constituents, non- configurationality, noun phrase, phrase-marking, phrasehood, syntax, word- marking, word order 1 Introduction It has often been argued that Australian languages show unusual syntactic flexibility in the nominal domain, and may even lack clear noun phrase struc- tures altogether – e. g., in Blake (1983), Heath (1986), Harvey (2001: 112), Evans (2003a: 227–233), Campbell (2006: 57); see also McGregor (1997: 84), Cutfield (2011: 46–50), Nordlinger (2014: 237–241) for overviews and more general dis- cussion of claims to this effect. This idea is based mainly on features

MR P.C. TINLEY (Willagee) [2.50 pm]: I rise to conclude my brief contribution on the historic Constitution Amendment (Recognition of Aboriginal People) Bill 2015. Without rehashing it, for the benefit of anybody who was not in the chamber at the time I characterised the Aboriginal contribution to military service in Western Australia and Australia as being a significant contribution to progressing the identity of both Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people in creating a unified culture. I also noted with some gratitude that symbolism is important. The opening quote that I used was “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” I believe that we have progressed even in the time of this Parliament to being on the cusp of delivering a significant substantive arrangement beyond symbolism for the Indigenous land use agreements with the Noongar people at the National Native Title Tribunal. We look forward to making a substantive contribution to reconciliation beyond just the symbolism.

  • ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES of the GASCOYNE-ASHBURTON REGION Peter Austin 1
    ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES OF THE GASCOYNE-ASHBURTON REGION Peter Austin 1. INTRODUCTION1 This paper is a description of the language situation in the region between the Gascoyne and Ashburton Rivers in the north-west of Western Australia. At the time of first white settlement in the region, there were eleven languages spoken between the two rivers, several of them in a number of dialect forms. Research on languages of the locality has taken place mainly in the past thirty years, after a long period of neglect, but details of the past and present linguistic situation have been emerging as a result of that research. The paper includes an annotated bibliography of the Aboriginal languages traditionally spoken in the area 2. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The first explorations by Europeans in the north-west of Western Australia were maritime voyages concerned with coastal exploration. As early as 1818, Captain P.P. King had reported on the coast east of Exmouth Gulf and between 1838 and 1841 Captains Wickham and Stokes had discovered the mouth of the Ashburton River (Webb & Webb 1983:12). On 5th March 1839 Lieutenant George Grey came upon the mouth of the Gascoyne River and during his explorations encountered Aborigines. He reported that (Brown 1972:83): “they spoke a dialect very closely resembling that of the natives of the Swan River”. Further contact between Gascoyne-Ashburton language speakers and Europeans came in the 1850’s with inland explorations. In 1858 Francis Gregory explored the Gascoyne River and the Lyons River north as far as Mount Augustus (Green 1981:97-8, Webb & Webb 1983:11, Brown 1972:86).

  • Wajarri Yamatji Achieve Native Title Recognition
    Geraldton | Hedland | Perth www.ymac.org.au Wajarri Yamatji Achieve Native Title Recognition MEDIA RELEASE: 20 October 2017 Photo: Wajarri people proudly showing their consent determination The Wajarri Yamatji community celebrates the legal recognition of their land and culture at an on-Country Federal Court hearing at Wooleen Station, held on Thursday 19 October 2017. The celebration was facilitated by Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC), the Native Title Representative Body for the Murchison and Gascoyne Region. The consent determination covers the majority of the Wajarri Yamatji claim area (68,743 square kilometres of the total 97,676 square kilometres). The area encompasses parts of the Shires of Meekatharra, Mount Magnet, Murchison, Upper Gascoyne, Cue and Yalgoo; as well as 56 pastoral leases.

The area encompasses Mt Augustus (Burringurrah) and stretches of the Murchison and Gascoyne Rivers. In 2009, the Wajarri Yamatji, the State of Western Australia and the Commonwealth government entered into the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory Agreement, which has led to the development of the Murchison Widefield Array and the Australian Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Pathfinder as SKA precursor telescopes. The journey to this native title determination commenced in 1995 and has involved the coming together of many families to achieve native title recognition.

NACC Education Resource | Sharing Yamaji Knowledge 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THE YAMAJI PEOPLE This project acknowledges the Yamaji1 people and recognises Aboriginal people as Australia’s first natural resource managers. The Yamaji 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. Yamaji community members have generously shared their knowledge in the development of this resource, so that school-aged students will better understand Aboriginal culture, the environment and the importance of caring for it. Without the valuable contribution of the Yamaji community, this project would not have been possible. We thank them for sharing their time and expertise for this project.
