Mukurtu Taxonomies: Values Preloaded Into the Mukurtu Pilot Platform As at January 2021 Mukurtu Taxonomies: values preloaded into the Mukurtu pilot platform as at January 2021 Taxonomies are lists of words or phrases that are used consistently (in the same way and spelled the same way) in specified fields. In Mukurtu there are a number of fields that allow the words/phrases to be “preloaded” by the Mukurtu administrator. These fields are: Language _________________________ 2 Subject ___________________________ 7 Format ___________________________ 9 Place ____________________________ 5 Category _________________________ 8 Type ____________________________ 10 Taxonomies help with: • For users: Words/phrases being spelled consistently across the site – this helps with making sure that when someone does a search all the records for a search term are found. • For archivists: Words/phrases in taxonomies become predictive text that can save the typing all of a word/phrase. This means that you can type in a couple of letters, a range of choices will appear allowing you to click on the right choice and have it added automatically to the field. There are other taxonomies in Mukurtu that are generated automatically when Archivists add a value to a field. These taxonomies relate to the fields of: • Creator • Publisher • Contributor • People When you first put in the name of a Creator for example, Mukurtu adds that into a Creator taxonomy. The next time you start adding that person’s name into the Creator field for another record, you will get a predictive text suggestion matching that person’s name. This helps with consistent use of the way that person’s name is spelled and set out. It is important that Archives have a policy on how names are structured and that it is used consistently by all Archive staff doing data entry. First Nations Media Australia.

  • Section 14 Draft Environmental Impact Statement Cultural Heritage
    McArthur River Mine Open Cut Project Section 14 Draft Environmental Impact Statement Cultural Heritage 1 Cultural Heritage 14.0 Cultural Heritage 14.1 Introduction The MRM project is on lands that were traditionally used by the Gudanji, Binbinga and Yanyula people. Borroloola and its immediate surrounds have residents from a number of Aboriginal groups and include the Garawa, Mara and Alawa people. Not all of these groups are traditional owners of lands likely to be directly affected through the open cut development, but they have historically been consulted about the mine as members of the local community. In recent years a number of Aboriginal site investigation studies have been undertaken and agreements have been made with the traditional owners for the current mining lease approvals. In addition, site investigations have also been undertaken for the areas to be affected by the open cut project. 14.2 Measures to Protect Aboriginal Heritage The region in which the mine is located has long been, and continues to be, an area of importance to Aboriginal people. While many Aboriginal people still live in the general region of the mine, no-one lives in the immediate vicinity of the mine. MRM maintains a neighbourly relationship with Aboriginal communities in the area. MRM’s Community Relations Department staff have built up a solid working relationship with local Aboriginal people over the years. This has enabled positive interactions to take place on matters of Aboriginal cultural heritage in cases where the mine’s activities may come into contact with areas of significance to local people. As part of its mine planning, MRM undertakes archaeological and ethnographic surveys of all land it may wish to disturb.

  • The Brutal Truth: What Happened in the Gulf Country
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE BRUTAL TRUTH What happened in the gulf country BY TONY ROBERTS Sir John Downer, who twice served as premier of South Australia (1885-1887 and 1892-93). © National Library of Australia NOVEMBER 2009 In the last six months, my curiosity about the extent to which governments in Adelaide condoned or turned a blind eye to frontier massacres in the Gulf Country of the Northern Territory, up until 1910, has led me to fresh evidence that has shocked me. It has unsettled the world I thought I knew. I was born in Adelaide, a fourth-generation South Australian, and have resided there for much of my life. The city’s cathedrals and fine old buildings are very familiar to me. When I was young, I heard or read in newspapers the names of the old and powerful families, but took little notice. Even now, I feel uneasy revealing all that I have uncovered. In 1881, a massive pastoral boom commenced in the top half of the Northern Territory, administered by the colonial government in Adelaide.1 Elsey Station on the Roper River – romanticised in Jeannie Gunn’s We of the Never Never – was the first to be established. 2 These were huge stations, with an average size of almost 16,000 square kilometres. By the end of the year the entire Gulf district (an area the size of Victoria, which accounted for a quarter of the Territory’s pastoral country) had been leased to just 14 landholders, all but two of whom were wealthy businessmen and investors from the eastern colonies.2 Once they had taken up their lease, landholders had only three years to comply with a minimum stocking rate.

  • KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, and CONSERVATION in ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S a CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman
    3 KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, AND CONSERVATION IN ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S A CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman On Tuesday 20 May 2014 I was escorting two philanthropists to rock art galleries at Dukaladjarranj on the edge of the Arnhem Land escarpment. I was there in a corporate capacity, as a direc- tor of the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust, seeking to raise funds to assist the Djelk and Warddeken Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) in their work tackling the conservation challenges of maintain- ing the environmental and cultural values of 20,000 square kilometres of western Arnhem Land. We were flying low in a Robinson R44 helicopter over the Tomkinson River flood plains – Bulkay – wetlands renowned for their biodiversity. The experienced pilot, nicknamed ‘Batman’, flew very low, pointing out to my guests herds of wild buffalo and their highly visible criss-cross tracks etched in the landscape. He remarked over the intercom: ‘This is supposed to be an IPA but those feral buffalo are trashing this country, they should be eliminated, shot out like up at Warddeken’. His remarks were hardly helpful to me, but he had a point that I could not easily challenge mid-air; buffalo damage in an iconic wetland within an IPA looked bad. Later I tried to explain to the guests in a quieter setting that this was precisely why the Djelk Rangers needed the extra philanthropic support that the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust was seeking to raise. * * * 3093 Unstable Relations.indd 54 5/10/2016 5:40 PM Kuninjku People, Buffalo, and Conservation in Arnhem Land This opening vignette highlights a contradiction that I want to explore from a variety of perspectives in this chapter – abundant populations of environmentally destructive wild buffalo roam widely in an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) declared for its natural and cultural values of global significance, according to International Union for the Conservation of Nature criteria.

  • 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

  • How Warumungu People Express New Concepts Jane Simpson Tennant
    How Warumungu people express new concepts Jane Simpson Tennant Creek 16/10/85 [This paper appeared in a lamentedly defunct journal: Simpson, Jane. 1985. How Warumungu people express new concepts. Language in Central Australia 4:12-25.] I. Introduction Warumungu is a language spoken around Tennant Creek (1). It is spoken at Rockhampton Downs and Alroy Downs in the east, as far north as Elliott, and as far south as Ali Curung. Neighbouring languages include Alyawarra, Kaytej, Jingili, Mudbura, Wakaya, Wampaya, Warlmanpa and Warlpiri. In the past, many of these groups met together for ceremonies and trade. There were also marriages between people of different language groups. People were promised to 'close family' from close countries. Many children would grow up with parents who could speak different languages. This still happens, and therefore many people are multi-lingual - they speak several languages. This often results in multi-lingual conversation. Sometimes one person will carry on their side of the conversation in Warumungu, while the other person talks only in Warlmanpa. Other times a person will use English, Warumungu, Alyawarra, Warlmanpa, and Warlpiri in a conversation, especially if different people take part in it. The close contact between speakers of different languages shows in shared words. For example, many words for family-terms are shared by different languages. As Valda Napururla Shannon points out, Eastern Warlpiri ("wakirti" Warlpiri (1)) shares words with its neighbours, Warumungu and Warlmanpa, while Western Warlpiri shares words with its neighbours.
