To avoid retribution, he went to live at Lillimooloora station where he developed a strong friendship with settler Bill Richardson.

    Patrick Bernard O’Leary and the Forrest River massacres, Western Australia: examining ‘Wodgil’ and the significance of 8 June 1926 Kate Auty Lynch mobs rather pointedly do not keep accounts: in a sense, they seek to negate history itself1 In June 1926 in the river, plain and ravine country of the Forrest River district of the Kimberley, Western Australia, some carvings on the limbs or trunks of two trees of indeterminate genus and age formed one of the impermanent residues of a police patrol's actions at police camp No 2. The 1927 Royal Commission of inquiry into alleged killing and burning of bodies of Aborigines in East Kimberley, and into Police methods when effecting arrests was established to inquire into what had occurred throughout that patrol.2 3 In the current 'history wars', controversy is overtaking the Report of the Royal Commission. The 1927 Wood Royal Commission heard evidence from, amongst others, Reverend Gribble, the man who ventilated the rumours about the deaths; Inspector Mitchell, the Aborigines Inspector who travelled some of the route of the police patrol; Police Inspector Douglas, the officer in charge of the investigation; Detective Manning, who assisted Douglas; non-Aboriginal members of the police patrol; and two Aboriginal people who travelled with the police. The members of the police patrol were Constables Regan and St Jack, soldier settler station owner Leopold Overheu, local civilians Patrick Bernard O'Leary and Richard Jolly, and visiting veterinarian Daniel Murnane. Each gave evidence. Nairn, the legal representative of the police party, called some other witnesses. Three of the Aboriginal trackers who travelled with the police party, and who had made statements which contradicted the police versions of events, failed to attend the Commission.

Indigenous oral history brings life to our community narratives and portrays so well the customs, beliefs and values of our old people. Much of our present day knowledge system relies on what has been handed down to us generation after generation. Learning through intergenerational exchange this Indigenous oral history research thesis focuses on Indigenous methodologies and ways of being. Prime to this is a focus on understanding cultural safety and protecting Indigenous spoken knowledge through intellectual property and copyright law. From an Indigenous and Wiradjuri perspective the research follows a journey of exploration into maintaining and strengthening ethical research practices based on traditional value systems. The journey looks broadly at the landscape of oral traditions both locally and internationally, so the terms Indigenous for the global experience; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander for the Australian experience; and Wiradjuri for my own tribal identity are all used within the research dialogue. ! !

    Introduction: Performing Cosmopolitics Chapter 1 (Anti-)Cosmopolitan

    Notes Introduction: performing cosmopolitics 1 Unattributed feature article, Australian, 16 September 2000, p. 6. 2 Although the riots resulted directly from a series of locally staged tensions revolving around beach territoriality and male youth culture, the anti-Arab sentiments expressed by demonstrators and circulated by the media tapped into a much wider context of racism provoked by Australia’s participation in the US-led anti-terrorism alliance, the bombings of Australian tourists in Bali by Islamic militants, and a high-profile case of the rape of Caucasian girls by a gang of Lebanese youths in 2002. 3 Federal Government of Australia. (1994) Creative Nation: Common- wealth Cultural Policy. <http://www.nla.gov.au/creative.nation/intro.html> (accessed 19 July 2005). 4 The Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 was the cornerstone of the ‘White Australia Policy’ aimed at excluding all non-European migration. The Act was enforced through the use of a dictation test, similar to the one used in South Africa, which enabled authorities to deny entry to any person who was not able to transcribe a passage dictated in a designated European language. The Act remained in force until 1958. 5 Many Australians who voted ‘no’ in fact supported the idea of a republic but did not agree with the only model offered by the ballot. For detailed analysis of the referendum’s results, see Australian Journal of Political Science, 36:2 (2001). 6 See Veronica Kelly (1998a: 9–10) for a succinct overview of significant studies in contemporary Australian theatre
