I am the fourth youngest in my family of thirteen. My parents were Aboriginal. Both were alcoholics. My childhood memories took place in Charleville, Queensland. In those early days I was always hurt, bruised and cut. I remember being scalded by a pot of tea which went down my back. The memories I have of my mother are both sad and joyous. Sad, because she was often in jail. I remember seeing her sad eyes looking through the bars at me. Apparently, she used to walk up the street drunk, singing Rain drops keep falling on my head. Joyous memories, because one night she took me home from the pub and I cried because I wanted to stay with her. She kissed me good night and gave me twenty cents. One day, my parents took me and my sisters and two younger brothers there. I found out later that they had I left Goondiwindi to go back and to the police station.

  • Endnote Resource Library 8 Aboriginal Ways of Learning
    Appendix 2: Endnote Resource Library 8 Aboriginal Ways of Learning. Retrieved 25 November, 2010, from http://8ways.wikispaces.com/ The framework is expressed as eight interconnected pedagogies involving narrative-driven learning, visualised learning plans, hands-on/reflective techniques, use of symbols/metaphors, land-based learning, indirect/synergistic logic, modelled/scaffolded genre mastery, and connectedness to community. But these can change in different settings. Every place, Every People, has its own unique pedagogies. These 8 simple ones are merely a starting point for dialogue. Each school engages in a different way, and produces its own unique frameworks for Aboriginal education through dialogue with the community about local ways of doing things.

  • 6. Indigenous Communities Buy Hotels
    6 Indigenous communities buy hotels Among the many damaging effects of the prohibition years, the bans on Aboriginal people drinking in hotels alongside other Australians were the most mortifying. When it became financially possible for Indigenous entities to buy hotels for themselves in the 1970s and 1980s, this history of exclusion was influential in the thinking of Aboriginal organisations and government bureaucrats. Eight hotels were purchased by, or on behalf of, Aboriginal community entities over roughly a 20-year period—the first was the Finke Hotel at Finke in the Northern Territory in 1975. This was followed by purchases of the Oasis Hotel at Walgett (1983), the Transcontinental at Oodnadatta (1986), Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse (1987), Woden Town Club, Canberra (1988), the Crossing Inn, Fitzroy Crossing (1989), Daly River Hotel Motel (late 1990s) and the Wayside Inn at Timber Creek (1999). The most recent purchase of a licensed hotel was in 2014, when the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation and the Ngarluma Yindjibarndi Foundation, both in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, purchased the Whim Creek Hotel between Roebourne and Port Hedland.1 1 The purchase of the hotel ($1.7 million) includes an accommodation complex (The West Australian 2014). The new owners plan to restore and reopen the hotel and provide industry and training opportunities for local Indigenous people. 175 TEACHING 'PROPER' DRINKING? Map 2 Public hotels owned or part owned by Indigenous entities, 1975–2014 Source: CartoGIS, The Australian National University Apart from these mostly rural, small-town pubs, in recent years, Aboriginal corporations have bought interests in several high-profile facilities that include the sale of alcohol, such as the Gagudju Lodge at Cooinda, and the Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn Motel, which are both in Kakadu National Park; the Dugong Beach Resort on Groote Eylandt; and the Ayers Rock Resort (Yulara) in central Australia.
