The Lartelare Glanville Land Rights Movement in Adelaide The Otemon Journal of Australian Studies, vol.37, pp.101−115, 2011 101 The Lartelare Glanville Land Rights Movement in Adelaide: Through the Experiences of an Aboriginal Woman Ritsuko Kurita Postdoctoral Fellow, Hiroshima University Introduction This paper clarifies the characteristics of an Aboriginal land rights movement in an urban set- ting through the experiences of an Aboriginal woman, Veronica Brodie, who initiated a land rights movement for her great-grandmother’s land in North Western Adelaide. In South Australia there has been a prevailing attitude that the native titles can be claimed primarily by Aboriginal people in the far north and far west of the state, where the traditional culture as it existed before colonisa- tion is still strongly maintained [Agius et al. 2002: 4]. This position is due to the fact that most land legislations such as Native Title Act 19931) restrict claims to ‘traditional Aboriginal owners’ and demand that claimants demonstrate a genealogical connection between their present and past customary beliefs and prove their traditional connection with the land [Tonkinson 1998: 290]. On the other hand, the Aboriginal people who have been displaced from their ancestral lands and now live in the city and country towns in South Australia found a way of claiming their land rights through the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 (SA)2), which aimed to protect and preserve Abo- riginal sites, objects or remains3). The occurrence of urban Aboriginal people’s claims for land ──────────────────── 1)A legislation enacted as a result of the decision of the High Court in the Mabo case (Mabo v Queensland 1992). The main objects of the act are to provide for the recognition and protection of native title; to es- tablish ways in which future dealings affecting native title may proceed, and to set standards for those dealings; to establish the National Native Title Tribunal to determine claims to native title; and to provide for, or permit, the validation of past acts invalidated because of the existence of native title. Native title procedures are likely to be the first mechanism native title holders, claimants or potential claimants use to protect their heritage from changes to land use (Native Title Act 1993, Evatt 1996: 24−26). 2)A legislation passed by South Australia’s Parliament to protect Aboriginal heritage. Under this legislation, all Aboriginal sites, objects and remains in South Australia that are of significance to Aboriginal tradition, archaeology, anthropology and/or history are protected by making it a criminal offence for any person to damage Aboriginal sites or objects without authority. The Aboriginal Heritage Branch, a branch of the Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Division (AARD) of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, ad- ministers the Act on behalf of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation (Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988, Evatt 1996: 321−322). 3)An Aboriginal heritage agreement may, for example, restrict the use of land to which it applies; require specified work or work of a specified kind to be carried out in accordance with specified standards on the land; restrict the nature of work that may be carried out on the land; and provide for the management of ! 102 The Lartelare Glanville Land Rights Movement in Adelaide rights was in parallel with the cultural revival movement initiated mainly by Aboriginal activists and elders in southern South Australia since the 1980s. For example, the Hindmarsh Island Bridge affair in the early 1990s, in which some of the Ngarrindjeri people of the lower Murray claimed the significance of their cultural heritage to prevent the construction of a bridge over sites sacred for Ngarrindjeri women drew public attention throughout Australia4) [cf. Bell 1998, Kenny 1996, Brunton 1996]. Furthermore, claims for cultural heritage made by the Aboriginal people have been increasing in Adelaide since 20005). The case study presented in this paper is one of the prominent examples of such claims for Aboriginal cultural heritage in Adelaide. Compared with those on native title claims in remote Australia, studies on native title claims in ‘settled’ Australia are limited [Keen 1999]. Moreover, little attention has been given to native ti- tle claims made by the Aboriginal people in the capital cities [e.g. Burns 2011]. It is assumed that the approach of land rights movement in urban settings is different from that in remote areas be- cause of the more complex social circumstances in the urban areas. For example, native title claims in remote areas are generally made at a group level, but this is not always the case in the Aborigi- nal people in urban areas. Because of the diversity among the urban Aboriginal people in terms of birth-places, residential areas and socioeconomic conditions, their claims are more likely to be made at a family or an individual level. Given this situation, a case study of the land rights move- ment in Adelaide can be expected to provide new insight into the Aboriginal land rights move- ments. This paper will first describe a brief history and the present-day situation of the Kaurna peo- ple, the indigenous inhabitants of the Adelaide Plains, in parts 1 and 2. In part 3, it will discuss the cases of Veronica Brodie, an Aboriginal woman of Kaurna-Ngarrindjeri descent, and her connec- tion to her ancestors’ land on the basis of her life experiences. In part 4, an overview of the land ──────────────────── ! the land, or any Aboriginal site, object or remains in accordance with a particular management plan and others (Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988). 4)Hindmarsh Island is an island near the mouth of the Murray River, 70 km south-east of Adelaide. The state government and marina developers proposed the construction of a bridge linking Goolwa to the is- land. Some Ngarrindjeri women opposed the construction because there were secret sites on the island that the women considered sacred. This claim, however, was rejected by another group of Ngarrindjeri women who did not know about these sites. The state government established a Royal commission to investigate this matter and in 1995 concluded that the original claim had been fabricated to prevent the bridge from being built. It is generally said that this affair divided Ngarrindjeri women into groups termed as the ‘pro- ponent women’ and the ‘dissident women’ which contested the legitimacy of the knowledge of sacred sites. Some politicians, anthropologists and local residents were also involved in the debate over the sacred sites (Bell 1998, Kenny 1996, Brunton 1996). 5)For example, in 2009 an Aboriginal man of Ramindjeri descent made a native title claim on land stretch- ing from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island. Because a significant portion of the land in question had already been claimed by the Kaurna (lodged in 2000) and the Ngarrindjeri (lodged in 1998), this provoked contro- versy among these regional groups (The Advertiser 20 November, 2009). In 2010, some of the Kaurna people called on the government to halt the construction of a rail bridge over the Onkaparinga River be- cause it would damage sacred Kaurna sites along the river (The Messenger 24 March, 2010). Ritsuko Kurita 103 rights movement initiated by Brodie and the Lartelare Glanville Land Action Group will be pro- vided. Consequently, in part 5, the characteristics of the movement will be discussed, focusing on Brodie’s relations with other Aboriginal and local non-Aboriginal people. 1. A Brief History of Kaurna According to Tindale, an anthropologist, at the time of British colonisation in South Australia in 1836, the Kaurna territory extended from Crystal Brook to Cape Jervis and to the western edge of the Mount Lofty Ranges [Tindale 1974: 213]. The Kaurna people were comprised of several small groups of people or ‘hordes’ who shared the same or a similar language. In the 1830s and 1840s, when describing Aboriginal groups, most observers used the term ‘tribe’ combined with European place names such as the ‘Adelaide tribe’, the ‘Mount Barker tribe’ and the ‘Encounter Bay tribe’ [Hemming 1990: 129]. A group this paper mainly deals with is the ‘Port Adelaide tribe’ who resided in the western extremity of the territory of the Wirra Kaurna, northern group within theKaurnanation. As a consequence of the destruction of the traditional social organisation by the dispossession of Kaurna land and the devastation of the Kaurna population due to the epidemic brought by Euro- peans, it is generally believed that most of the Kaurna people were forced to leave Kaurna Plains by the late 1840s. The remaining Kaurna were absorbed into the neighbouring ‘Narungga’ people of York Peninsula and the ‘Ngarrindjeri’ people of Lower Murray. By 1850 it was believed by some Europeans that the Kaurna were virtually ‘extinct’ [Amery 2000: 49]. From the 1850s to 1860s, fifteen missions were established in South Australia for the purposes of Christianisation and ‘civilisation’ of Aboriginal people. Under Aborigines Act of 19116) jurisdic- tion of the missions were transferred to the state government and the Aboriginal people were segre- gated in government-operated reserves. After enforced to move to the missions, the Kaurna inter- married with the ‘Narungga’ of Point Pearce or the ‘Ngarrindjeri’ at Point McLeay (Raukkan)7) Missions. The Ngarrindjeri people, one of the most prominent local groups of the Aboriginal peo- ple in South Australia, formed a nation which numbered approximately 3000 people at the time of European colonisation. The Ngarrindjeri were physically and culturally different from the neigh- bouring local groups including the Kaurna, having a distinctive language and custom. For example, their language did not have one word in common with the Kaurna and they did not have a custom ──────────────────── 6)This act was designed for protection of Aboriginal people from harmful influences of the European society such as alcohol and prostitution.

  • Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3
    Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3 Changes in urban environments Issued August 2009 EPA 769/09: This information sheet is part of a series of Fact Sheets on the Adelaide coastal waters and the findings of the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS). Introduction Since European settlement in the 1830s, the Adelaide plains and Adelaide’s coastal environment have been subject to considerable change and pressure from a continually increasing population. In recent years there has been growing community concern about the effects of coastal and catchment development on the marine environment. Increases in stormwater flows and waste from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have also been of concern. Nutrients and other pollutants introduced to Adelaide’s nearshore waters from urban and rural runoff, WWTPs and some industrial sources have been found by the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) to have had a negative impact on Adelaide’s nearshore marine environment, including the loss of over 5,000 hectares of seagrass. Historical catchment changes When Adelaide was selected by Colonel William Light for South Australia’s state capital in 1836 there was a wide belt of coastal dunes and wide sandy beaches stretching to the north and south of Glenelg. From Seacliff to Outer Harbor there was a 30 km stretch of sand dunes broken only by the Patawalonga Creek at Glenelg. The Torrens River flowed into a series of swamps lying behind the coastal dunes and drained both north and south to the sea through the Patawalonga Creek and Port River system. The stretch of sand dunes comprised two or more parallel ridges each about 70 to 100 metres wide separated by narrow depressions or swales, consequently very little surface catchment runoff would have reached the coastline.

  • Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454 ADDRESS: Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay, SA 5211 Uncovered well 23 November 2017 Site works complete June 2019 Source DEW Source DEW Cultural Safety Warning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this document may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site is on the lands and waters of the Ramindjeri people of the lower Fleurieu Peninsula, who are a part of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. The site represents a once significant early industry that no longer exists in South Australia. Founded by the South Australian Company in 1837 and continually operating until 1851, it was the longest-running whaling station in the State. It played an important role in the establishment of the whaling industry in South Australia as a prototype for other whaling stations and made a notable contribution to the fledgling colony’s economic development. The Rosetta Head Whaling Station is also an important contact site between European colonists and the Ramindjeri people. To Ramindjeri people, the whale is known as Kondli (a spiritual being), and due to their connection and knowledge, a number of Ramindjeri were employed at the station as labourers and boat crews. Therefore, Rosetta Head is one of the first places in South Australia where European and Aboriginal people worked side by side.

    CEMETERIES TOURS YANKALILLA DISTRICT TOUR 4: Bullaparinga Public Cemetery Old Council Chambers Rd, Bullaparinga The Bullaparinga Public Cemetery was laid out in November 1858, and fenced the following year. An early burial ground is outside the bounds of the cemetery, but the early records have been lost. The earliest recorded burials begin in April 1859. James Chirgwin: A5 The oldest head stone in the cemetery is that of James Chirgwin (only his initials, J.C. are on the stone), who died 18 March, 1861. James was born 14 January 1861, and so was only 2 months old when he died. He was the first child of John and Eliza Chirgwin, neé Comley, who had a total of eleven children. John Chirgwin, a miner, arrived at Port Adelaide 23 March 1848 on the David Malcolm. He settled at Bullaparinga. Henri Benedictus Salman van Raalte was born in England in 1881. He studied art at London and Royal Academy schools. In 1901 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers, and Engravers. Due to ill health he emigrated to Western Australia. In 1921 van Raalte accepted the position of Curator of the South Australian Art Gallery, but resigned in 1925 because of a difference of opinion with the Gallery’s Board of Governors. Van Raalte with his wife and three sons came to Second Valley, living at first in one of the Junction North Timber Mill cottages at Second Valley Beach, Henri van Raalte: A16 and then renting a house vacated by the Cant family.

  • Racist Structures and Ideologies Regarding Aboriginal People in Contemporary and Historical Australian Society
    Master Thesis In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science: Development and Rural Innovation Racist structures and ideologies regarding Aboriginal people in contemporary and historical Australian society Robin Anne Gravemaker Student number: 951226276130 June 2020 Supervisor: Elisabet Rasch Chair group: Sociology of Development and Change Course code: SDC-80436 Wageningen University & Research i Abstract Severe inequalities remain in Australian society between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. This research has examined the role of race and racism in historical Victoria and in the contemporary Australian government, using a structuralist, constructivist framework. It was found that historical approaches to governing Aboriginal people were paternalistic and assimilationist. Institutions like the Central Board for the Protection of Aborigines, which terrorised Aboriginal people for over a century, were creating a racist structure fuelled by racist ideologies. Despite continuous activism by Aboriginal people, it took until 1967 for them to get citizens’ rights. That year, Aboriginal affairs were shifted from state jurisdiction to national jurisdiction. Aboriginal people continue to be underrepresented in positions of power and still lack self-determination. The national government of Australia has reproduced historical inequalities since 1967, and racist structures and ideologies remain. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Elisabet Rasch, for her support and constructive criticism. I thank my informants and other friends that I met in Melbourne for talking to me and expanding my mind. Floor, thank you for showing me around in Melbourne and for your never-ending encouragement since then, via phone, postcard or in person. Duane Hamacher helped me tremendously by encouraging me to change the topic of my research and by sharing his own experiences as a researcher.
