Newsletter #31 (Spring 2007, 1MB) President's Report to 2007 AGM (40KB) From: The Australian 2nd January, 2008 Indigenous culture can live on John Mathews REPORTS of child abuse and alcohol-fuelled violence in Aboriginal communities have finally caught our attention and triggered federal intervention in the Northern Territory. Yet such recent events are but symptoms of disadvantage and cultural division with deep historical roots. Since the work of Fred Hollows we have known that poor living conditions and lack of health care contribute to the ill health and diminished life expectancy among Aboriginal Australians. Thirty years on, governments and community-controlled organisations still struggle to close the gap in health and social outcomes. It is time to ask why. The simple answer is that Aboriginal health problems, whether physical, mental or spiritual, are rooted in cultural dislocation, social unrest and disadvantage. A major driver is a lack of trust and cross-cultural understanding. Politically aware Aborigines have not trusted governments to solve their problems, as few public servants have had the cross-cultural and professional knowledge to find solutions that might work.

Extractions: Australia's aborigines have turned to digital technology to preserve their unique rock art for future generations, as Sharon Mascall reports from Melbourne. Uluru, or Ayers Rock as Australia's white settlers called it, is an icon of the Outback attracting millions of visitors every year. Its traditional Aboriginal owners, called Anangu, have been visiting the rock for millennia, documenting their creation stories and history at over 90 rock art sites around the base. Now, in a world first, they have teamed up with scientists from the University of Melbourne to preserve their art and ancestry in digital format. "It's very much what some people would call a keeping place," explains Cliff Ogleby, from the University's Department of Geomatics. "There are keeping places here, there is a men's keeping place and women's keeping place where things that are important to them can be kept and looked after.

SYDNEY, Australia Fifty police officers have been injured in Sydney following a night of rioting sparked by the death of an Aboriginal youth. The violence broke out in the predominantly Aboriginal inner-city suburb of Redfern on Sunday evening after the death of teenager who witnesses say became impaled on a metal fence following a police chase. New South Wales police in a media conference Sunday denied they had chased the youth, who was riding a bicycle, saying the youth had sped off after being overtaken by a police vehicle. Seventeen-year-old Thomas Hickey then lost control of his bike and became impaled on the railings of a fence, police said. He died later in hospital.

Time.com People Fortune EW Story Tools SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) When the bearded dragon lizard sits upright and points its head to the sky, it is going to rain the next day. If a flock of currawongs flies overhead you've only got four hours to get the washing off the line. If the queen wattle blooms heavily, bull ants abandon their tree nests for mounds of dirt, or meat ants cover nests with tiny, heat-reflecting quartz stones, then bushfires are coming. Sounds like mumbo-jumbo? Not to Australia's Bureau of Meteorology, which hopes to tap into the tens of thousands of years of Aboriginal weather knowledge to help it expand its understanding of the island continent's harsh climate. Aboriginal ideas about the weather can be starkly different.

Elected Thursday as the opposition leader following Labor's defeat at November 10 elections, Simon Crean said apologizing would be a priority of a future Labor government. "You can't get lasting reconciliation with our indigenous population unless we have the sorry and then the dialogue," Crean told The Associated Press. During colonization Aborigines were hunted, killed and driven from their lands by European settlers. As recently as the 1970s officials were still taking Aborigine children from their families and placing them in orphanages, often run by churches, in a now discredited assimilation program. The tens of thousands of people affected have become known as the "stolen generations."

Australia's Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission spent six months compiling the report as part of its contribution to the U.N. World conference on Racism held in South Africa in August this year. The report, released Monday, says racism is still part of an everyday experience for some people, but also finds that the majority of Australians are opposed to racism. "Everywhere we went I was struck by the sense of marginalization felt by indigenous people and people from non-English speaking backgrounds who do not fit the stereotype of the typical Australian," Federal Race Discrimination Commissioner William Jonas said. The White Australia Policy, which restricted immigration to predominantly European cultures, had had a lasting impact on the national social development of Australia.

Wandjinas are thought to bring monsoonal rains to the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The Gibb Inquiry looks into the situation of Aboriginal people on pastoral properties in the Northern Territory. The government is slow to create living areas or excisions in pastoral properties. Some people from Maningrida in the Northern Territory, left and went back to a preferred way of life on their home estates. These estates were called 'outstations' and later 'homeland centres'. By 1972 many people had moved back to their traditional homelands. The Tasmanian Aboriginal Parks and Wildlife Service names areas at West Point, Sundown Point and Mt Cameron West as Aboriginal sites.

Extractions: click here By Kathy Marks in Tilba Tilba Lonely Planet's 'Aboriginal Australia and the Torres Strait Islands @ Amazon 11 July 2001- "There she goes," said Lino Thomas, peering through the drizzle at the mist-veiled mountain rising ahead. "Look at that grey cloak. She's wearing her possum skin again." Ms Thomas, an Aboriginal tour guide, was pointing to one of the earliest landmarks recorded by Captain Cook as he sailed up the coast of southern New South Wales. Cook called it Mount Dromedary, but the mountain already had a name: for thousands of years, Aborigines had known it as Gulaga. If the idealistic folk at Lonely Planet have their way, that is how it will be referred to by thousands of overseas tourists. The mountain, which is sacred to the Yuin tribes of the South Coast, features in a radical new guide by Lonely Planet, purveyors of culturally sensitive travel advice to two generations of backpackers. The book, launched in Melbourne tomorrow and published in Britain next month, gives a different perspective from conventional guides on a country that is booming as a travel destination after last year's Sydney Olympics.

The traditional beliefs of Aboriginal people have them coming from the land itself. History It was not until January 1788 that foreigners came to stay. The British established a penal colony at Port Jackson and thus the invasion of Aboriginal land was commenced. Invasion Language The Aboriginal peoples of Australia have developed a language generically known as Aboriginal English. In identifying as Aboriginal, people from particular areas of Australia use Aboriginal English terms such Murris, Nungas, Nyoongas, Kooris or Pallawah. It is through language both the classical languages and the contemporary, that Aboriginal people maintain Aboriginality, cultural identity as the Indigenous peoples of Australia.

Extractions: On Aboriginal Australia Hazel Hawke was arguably at her most impassioned and unrelenting. With regard to the impoverished status of many in Aboriginal society and the impending conundrum of the Bicentennial in Australia she said in her 1984 Press Club Australia Day speech: 'Today we celebrate the coming of non-aborigines to Australia - invaders is I suppose the stringent word.' And earlier she spoke at greater length: 'It's tragic to see the ramifications of the overlay of our white law. This includes of course the way we have legislated one of the most significant elements in their lives, the land in which they live away from their use. And therefore threatened their material survival and their spiritual fulfilment.' And, 'I hope very much that by 1988 when we celebrate the 200th anniversary of white occupancy of Australia, we relative newcomers will have developed a greater understanding of the historical process which has interfered with a viable, strong culture and therefore have a more sensitive and informed set of attitudes instead of a knee jerk emotional reaction to a dilemma in the too hard basket.'
