East Arnhem Shire Council Annual Report 2008-09 3 PRESIdent’s STATEMENT It gives me great pleasure to present this Annual Report to the Hon. Rob Knight MLA, Minister for Local Government. This is a record of our progress against the goals in the Strategic Plan and shows the efforts of Shire staff against great difficulties. I also want to recognise the many Federal and Northern Territory Government Departments and individuals that have supported us throughout the year. Back in 1931 the Arnhem Land Reserve was declared to provide a 50 years period to adjust to the modern world. Within 20 years Arnhem Land was at the frontline of the war and much of our infrastructure was created at that time. As the war moved northwards, Arnhem Land was again left behind. Despite the start of mining in the 1960’s and the endless parade of health, housing and other surveys that showed our priority need - we remained the poor relation until now. With the coming of the Intervention and the granting of Regional Local Government through the creation of the Shire - East Arnhem is at last on track - with six of our nine communities being Federal priority areas and seven being Territory Growth Towns. All the old, familiar systems of the last thirty years have gone and we must make new partnerships with Government, at every level, to prevent waste and duplication through not knowing our local conditions. In the words of our Councillor Mavis Danganbarr - ‘we must find ways to help the balandas to help us’. We know that this is the new start and a chance to build a solid foundation for the future. I am particularly pleased to see Government’s commitment to developing our major communities as ‘service centres’ for the homeland movement which started in 1936 at Gattji and was expanded through the fifties and sixties to meet the defining business essentials of ownership, stability and authority. Through modern communications technology, our isolation will become our major asset in art and tourism as well as providing the means for education and health services as happens overseas. The challenges ahead are great but the opportunities are greater and I look forward to the positive relationship, with you and your Government, growing through the coming year.

    7 Names and Naming: Speaking Forms Into Place

    7 NAMES AND NAMING: SPEAKING FORMS INTO PLACE Franca Tamisari In 1946 Donald Thomson (1946: 157) noted that 'very little has been recorded of the derivation and use of personal names among the Australian Aborigines'. Despite the significance that Australian Indigenous people in general give to the meaning and use of proper names of people and places and to the action of naming in cosmogonic events, with some exceptions this neglect continues today.l Thomson explains this dearth of research by the secrecy and the sacredness of proper names and toponyms which derive from their ancestral associations and by the rules of avoiding names in everyday life. However, like Keith Basso (1988: 103), I am inclined to suggest that this neglect is the reflection of the prevailing preoccupation of anthropologists and linguists with the semantico-referential meanings and functions of names and language rather than with the culturally shared notions and images all names evoke, provoke and embody in the creative dialogue that people establish and continuously renew with counily. As Heidegger argues for language (197la:192-l93): in order to explore the meaning and significance of Yolngu' names it is necessary to explain them more comprehensively than considering them as simple expressions of internal feelings and thoughts, as mere representations of reality, as vehicles by which people communicate, address each other, or in Levistraussian tenus, as a means by which people classify the world and order themselves within it (see Levi-Strauss 1966:161-190). If with Heidegger I suggest that 'language speaks' beyond expression and representation, my concern in this paper is to ethnographically explore what Yolngu names speak of, that is, what culturally shared images and notions they reveal while saying very little (Basso 1988:103).

    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

    NARRATIVE REPORT 31 July – 3 August, 2015 Message from our Director The Yothu Yindi Foundation is proud to have produced, directed & hosted yet another compelling Garma at the Gulkula ceremonial grounds in northeast Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. As an indigenous woman, it is difficult to put into words how much of an an honour it is to direct this wonderful experience, as we seek to extract the raw beauty of Australia’s Indigenous people & our incredible cultural heritage. Moreover, I take great pride in staging an event that also provides a healthy economic return to the Arnhem region by tapping the rich veins of the NT's tourism market and beyond. It is a humbling experience to showcase northeast Arnhem Land to the nation and the world as we strive to shape the national & political conversation on Indigenous affairs from a grass roots perspective. The Yothu Yindi Foundation would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of Garma. I would personally like to thank our guests for making the pilgrimage north to join us; thank you all for your continued contribution to the reconciliation process between black & white Australia & thank you for taking part in some of the challenging conversations needed to further advance the cause. As in previous years, the 17th annual Garma delivered a wide-ranging program that mixed the exciting with the informative, the eye-catching with the educational, as we sought to provide an action packed program appealing to everyone over four days & nights. Our aim is to develop our activities & objectives through the use of artistic and cultural practices which ensure Yolngu ownership, drive & direction are the foundational anchors to success.
