This sedge has numerous small seeds that were ground into an edible paste. Whilst Martu did not consume sedge and grass seeds in contemporary times, their use was demonstrated to younger people and visitors. ii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, Dianne and John Walsh. My mother cultivated my joy in plants and wildlife. She introduced me to my first bush foods (including kurarra, kogla, ‘honeysuckle’, bardi grubs) on Murchison lands inhabited by Yamatji people then my European pastoralist forbearers.1 My father shares bush skills, a love of learning and long stories. He provided his Toyota vehicle and field support to me on Martu country in 1988. The dedication is also to Martu yakurti (mothers) and mama (fathers) who returned to custodial lands to make safe homes for children and their grandparents and to hold their country for those past and future generations.

AIATSIS would recommend the focus of this senate inquiry includes: consultation with traditional owner groups; native title corporations administering native title settlements and agreements bodies; Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRBs); Native Title Service Providers (NTSPs) and Aboriginal Land Councils: all of whom exercise responsibility for the management of the Indigenous Estate and large tracts of the National Reserve System. This critical consultation and engagement is to ensure that traditional knowledge and management is acknowledged as being an essential element in threatened species recovery, management and conservation. AIATSIS submits that acknowledging the totality of the Indigenous Estate and its interconnection with the National Reserve System is essential in terms of addressing the faunal extinction crisis across the content. Caring for Country programs, Indigenous Land and Sea Management Programs (ILSMPs) and Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) are achieving great success in terms of threatened species recovery and the eradication of feral pests and species. Please find attached the AIATSIS submission which is based upon 26 years of research and practice by AIATSIS in Indigenous cultural heritage and native title law.

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.

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.

NACC Education Resource | Sharing Noongar Knowledge 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THE NOONGAR PEOPLE This project acknowledges the Noongar people and recognises Aboriginal people as Australia’s first natural resource managers. 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. Noongar 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 Noongar community, this project would not have been possible. We thank them for sharing their time and expertise for this project. PROJECT SUPPORT This project has been supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State National Resource Management Program, supported by Royalties for Regions.
