Long struggle for Yurrkuru pays off THE 22 year battle for justice by the traditional owners of Yurrkuru (Brooks Soak) is over. During a ceremony on 8 September at Yurrkuru near Yuendumu, Indigenous Aff airs Minister Nigel Scullion handed the title to the Yurrkuru Aboriginal Land Trust to Willowra elder and CLC executive member Teddy Long, on behalf of the traditional owner group. The square mile of former crown land surrounded by the Mt Denison pastoral lease includes the sacred site where dingo trapper Fred Brooks was killed by Aboriginal men in 1928, before Mr Long was born. The killing triggered a series of reprisal killings of large numbers of innocent Aboriginal people across the region by Constable George Murray. The raids became known as the Coniston Massacre. “My father explained to me what happened here in the shooting days,” Mr Long said. “He explained every rockhole and soakage where people got shot.” The Aboriginal Land Commissioner recommended the grant of the block in 1992, but the Mt Denison pastoralists bitterly opposed it. “I am happy to have my grandfather’s and father’s country, even though it took a long time,” Mr Long said. “It’s important for ceremony and culture.” Mr Long and the men sang a ngatijiri (budgerigar) song while the women (pictured at right) performed a bandicoot purlapa (song and dance) and presented the Minister with a coolamon and clap sticks. About 80 traditional owners attended the ceremony. “They had to wait a long time for their land but they never They have plans to build a shelter to harvest rain water causing a lot of sadness across our region,” Mr Kelly said. considered giving up,” said CLC chair and Coniston documentary and provide shade for visitors, as well as feature interpretive “It will be good to be able to teach visitors about this place so maker Francis Kelly. materials about the events that led to the massacres. we can make peace with our shared past."

  • General Introduction
    General introduction. The populations of remote indigenous communities in the Northern Territory are unique. They have the highest proportions of first speakers of indigenous languages in the country. They are the closest to the traditional culture and way of life of almost any others in Australia, on a par with those in the most remote communities of South Australia and Western Australia. They have the highest rates of some life-threatening chronic illnesses, not only in the country, but in some notable cases, in the world. They have the highest rates of unemployment, road fatalities, interpersonal violence, violence against women, child sexual abuse, youth suicide, substance abuse, in the country. They have the lowest levels of school attendance, educational achievement, and facility with English. Since the priority goal of the schools has been the preservation of indigenous culture and language several generations of children have gone through them without being taught to speak, let alone read and write, the national language. They are also mostly functionally innumerate. Their world view comes out of survival for tens of millennia in very small scale, kin based, hunter gatherer societies. The traditional life is not very far in the past. There are those still alive who can clearly remember seeing a European for the first time. Many of those now in middle age are only one generation removed from that experience. The last family to come out of the desert did so as recently as 1984. None of this is an indication of lack of intelligence. Survival in one of the world’s harshest environments, in the case of the desert people, with one of the world’s simplest technologies required a life-long accumulation of complex and exquisitely detailed knowledge and the application of an incredibly high level of skill.

  • Demystifying Aboriginal Land Reform in the Northern Territory
    BEYOND COMMUNAL AND INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP: DEMYSTIFYING ABORIGINAL LAND REFORM IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY LEON MATTHEW TERRILL A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES FACULTY OF LAW August 2013 ABSTRACT Since 2006, the Australian Government has introduced three sets of reforms to Aboriginal land ownership in the Northern Territory. This thesis considers those reforms as they have been implemented in the period until 2013, and analyses how they came about, what they do, their consequences and the potential for alternative approaches. The three sets of reforms considered here are township leasing, the reforms introduced as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (including the compulsory acquisition of five‐year leases) and ‘secure tenure’ policies as they apply to housing and other infrastructure. These reforms arose out of a widespread public debate about Aboriginal land reform that began in 2004. The thesis argues that this debate was conducted using vague and ill‐defined terminology that was poorly suited to a discussion of communities on Aboriginal land, which are the areas affected by the recent reforms. In particular, there was a high reliance on the concepts of ‘communal ownership’ and ‘individual ownership’. This impacted in several ways. To a considerable extent, it led to the wrong issues being contested. It also resulted in pertinent issues, such as home ownership and economic development, being debated in a manner that was far more divisive and less instructive than was necessary or helpful. This contributed to confusion about what land reform can do, and some of that confusion is reflected in the implementation of the reforms.

  • From 'Territory of Exception'
    Jon Altman FROM ‘TERRITORY OF EXCEPTION’ TO EXCEPTIONAL TERRITORY? On 13 March Adam Giles became the first Indigenous government leader in Australian history when elected Chief Minister of the Northern Territory by a majority of his CLP parliamentary colleagues. This ascendancy unleashed media frenzy not least because the incumbent Terry Mills had only led the CLP to decisive election success some seven months earlier in August 2012. Evidently some leaders are judged better at winning office than governing. What is unusual about the meteoric rise of Adam Giles is that it required the support of the four other Indigenous members of the government all representing rural electorates. This is not as straightforward as it may seem because they are all Indigenous Territorians born and bred, Giles is from NSW and has only lived in the Territory since 2005. Among the new Chief Minister’s first decisions in announcing his Cabinet was the abolition of an Indigenous affairs portfolio; Alison Anderson’s role as Minister for Indigenous Advancement (see Homelands Extra: Read all about it!) disappeared, although she retains an enhanced ministerial profile as Minister for Children and Families, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Women’s Policy and also now Local Government. The abolition of the Indigenous advancement portfolio was made for several reasons, in part because Giles assessed it as incompetent, more importantly because he regards it as redundant given that 30 per cent of the NT population is Indigenous and many mainstream government
