Australian Aboriginal Ethnometeorology And Seasonal Calendars, Philip A. Clarke
Australian Aboriginal Ethnometeorology And Seasonal Calendars, Philip A. Clarke
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper uses a cultural anthropological approach to investigate an indigenous Australian perspective on atmospheric phenomena and seasons, using data gained from historical records and ethnographic fieldwork. Aboriginal people believe that the forces driving the weather are derived from Creation Ancestors and spirits, asserting that short term changes are produced through ritual. By recognizing signals such as wind direction, rainfall, temperature change, celestial movements, animal behaviour and the flowering of plants, Aboriginal people are able to divide the year into seasons. Indigenous calendars vary widely across Australia and reflect annual changes within Aboriginal lifestyles.
Researching With Aboriginal Women As An Aboriginal Woman Researcher, Bronwyn Fredericks
Researching With Aboriginal Women As An Aboriginal Woman Researcher, Bronwyn Fredericks
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper will firstly provide a brief overview of issues pertaining to Aboriginal research*issues that I needed to consider when contemplating and undertaking research with Aboriginal women within the community of Rockhampton. This is the broader
landscape in which the research was based and which I believe may be used to inform research with Aboriginal women in other areas. Secondly, I explore issues specific to me as a researcher and, more importantly, as an Indigenous woman researcher. It shows the issues connected with being an Indigenous researcher, that is, as a new traveller within the broader landscape of research. Thirdly, …

Digital Songlines: The Use Of Modern Communication Technology By An Aboriginal Community In Remote Australia, Lydia Buchtmann
Digital Songlines: The Use Of Modern Communication Technology By An Aboriginal Community In Remote Australia, Lydia Buchtmann
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In the mid-1980s the AUSSAT satellite brought television and radio to remote Australia for the first time. There was concern amongst Aboriginal communities that the imposition of mass media without consultation could result in permanent damage to culture and language. However, over the years, the Warlpiri people have adopted modern communication technology including radio, video making, locally produced television, and more recently on-line services. This paper examines why the Warlpiri have adopted modern communication technology and whether there have been social changes as a result. It also looks at the pioneering media work by the Pitjantjatjara people at Ernabella in …

Federalising The Aborigines? Constitutional Reform In The Late 1920s, Fiona Paisley
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper considers arguments in favour of federal responsibility for indigenous affairs provided to the 1927-29 Royal Commission on the Constitution. Various humanitarian organisations, including women's groups, argued that the future of the Aborigines in Australia was a matter of national importance and was above state and federal politics. Constitutional acknowledgement of Aboriginal Australians as the original owners of the land would mark Australia's progress as a modern nation

Land Rights And Aboriginal Sovereignty, Janna Thompson
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In 1988 Australia celebrated two hundred years of European settlement. At its annual conference the Australian Division of the Australasian Association of Philosophy marked the occasion with a symposium on claims by Aboriginal p_eople for compensation arising out of that settlement. The two papers below were presented at the symposium and were subsequently accepted for publication by the previous Editor. Though they are appearing well after the bicentennial events, the issues they address remain topical both in Australia, in New Zealand which in 1990 is celebrating its founding one hundred and fifty years ago with the signing of the Treaty …
