Transnational Understandings Of Australian Aboriginal Sporting Migration: Sporting Walkabout, John Maynard
Transnational Understandings Of Australian Aboriginal Sporting Migration: Sporting Walkabout, John Maynard
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This article will examine the impact of Aboriginal sporting participation and movement around the globe. The experiences, influences and inspiration that Aboriginal sporting men and women absorbed while travelling internationally have played a prominent role in changing the perceptions and understanding of Aboriginal people to the wider populace. The later stages of the nineteenth and early twentieth century were a period in which Aboriginal people were erroneously categorized as a dying race, belonging to the Stone Age and uneducable. However the influence of sport and travel ensured that Aboriginal cricketers, footballers, athletes, boxers and horsemen and -women played a part …
Community-Based Suicide Prevention Research In Remote On-Reserve First Nations Communities, Corinne A. Isaak, Mike Campeau, Laurence Y. Katz, Murray W. Enns, Brenda Elias, Jitender Sareen
Community-Based Suicide Prevention Research In Remote On-Reserve First Nations Communities, Corinne A. Isaak, Mike Campeau, Laurence Y. Katz, Murray W. Enns, Brenda Elias, Jitender Sareen
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Suicide is a complex problem linked to genetic, environmental, psychological and community factors. For the Aboriginal population more specifically, loss of culture, history of traumatic events, individual, family and community factors may also play a role in suicidal behaviour. Of particular concern is the high rate of suicide among Canadian Aboriginal youth. While the need to develop interventions to reduce suicidal behaviour for First Nations on-reserve populations is evident, there may be an element of distrust of researchers by Aboriginal communities. Furthermore, research in mental health and specifically suicide is much more sensitive than studying medical illnesses like diabetes. Clearly, …

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.
The Determinants Of First Nation And Inuit Health: A Critical Population Health Approach, Chantelle A.M. Richmond, Nancy A. Ross
The Determinants Of First Nation And Inuit Health: A Critical Population Health Approach, Chantelle A.M. Richmond, Nancy A. Ross
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Environmental dispossession disproportionately affects the health of Canada’s Aboriginal population, yet little is known about how its effects are sustained over time. We use a critical population health approach to explore the determinants of health in rural and remote First Nation and Inuit communities, and to conceptualize the pathways by which environmental dispossession affects these health determinants. We draw from narrative analysis of interviews with 26 Community Health Representa- tives (CHRs) from First Nation and Inuit communities across Canada. CHRs identified six health determinants: balance, life control, education, material resources, social resources, and environmental/ cultural connections. CHRs articulated the role …
Aboriginal Affairs: Monologue Or Dialogue?, Vanessa Castejon
Aboriginal Affairs: Monologue Or Dialogue?, Vanessa Castejon
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
On January 26 2002, the thirtieth anniversary of the creation of the first Aboriginal tent embassy was celebrated. In 1972 the tent embassy emerged from the Black Power movement as a manifestation of the call for recognition of Aboriginal sovereignty and the right to self-determination. These claims have been raised continually by some prominent Aboriginal activists, but the main answer given by the government has been the creation of Aboriginal policies and sections for Aboriginal people within the Australian political system. The government, by different means, has brought Aboriginal activists within the system and has diverted attention from their aspirations. …

Gender And Place Influences On Health Risk Perspectives In Northern Canadian Aboriginal Communities, Cynthia G. Jardine, Amanda D. Boyd, Christopher M. Furgal
Gender And Place Influences On Health Risk Perspectives In Northern Canadian Aboriginal Communities, Cynthia G. Jardine, Amanda D. Boyd, Christopher M. Furgal
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Developing a better understanding of the factors underlying health and environmental risk perspectives has been the focus of significant research in recent years. Although many previous studies have shown that perspectives of risk are often associated with gender, sociocultural variables and place, our understanding of the relationship between these factors and risk remains equivocal. A research study was undertaken to develop better insights into the understanding and perspectives of various types of health risks in two sets of northern Canadian Aboriginal communities – the Yellowknives Dene First Nation communities of N’Dilo and Dettah in the Northwest Territories and the Inuit …
Deeper Than Mere Consultation: Negotiating Land And Resource Management In British Columbia, Post-Delgamuukw, Andrea Holly Kennedy
Deeper Than Mere Consultation: Negotiating Land And Resource Management In British Columbia, Post-Delgamuukw, Andrea Holly Kennedy
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
First Nations in Canada are seeking new land management relations that fully include and accommodate their Aboriginal rights, any outstanding Aboriginal title, and other interests. Various Canadian judicial decisions have stated that, at a minimum, consultation with First Nations is required when Aboriginal rights may be impacted by land-use activities. This research involved applying case study to identify critical elements that lead to something deeper than mere consultation, as called for in the 1997 Supreme Court of Canada Delgamuukw decision. This thesis describes six land management cases from four First Nations communities in British Columbia. The cases involve natural resources …
Research And Indigenous Participation: Critical Reflexive Methods, Ruth Nicholis
Research And Indigenous Participation: Critical Reflexive Methods, Ruth Nicholis
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In response to the theories of empowerment and social justice, research involving Indigenous peoples often demands participatory and collaborative methodologies. Consequently, researchers need to engage with reflexive evaluation of collective and negotiated design, data collection and data analysis to consider inter-personal and collective dynamics during the research process. What this means for those attempting counter-colonial research is that we cannot rely on a singular application of reflexivity to situate knowledge. Additional political and relational layers of reflexivity are essential to critically evaluate empowerment and participation by working ‘the spaces between’ through reflection about collaboration. By exploring ‘relationality’ as a methodology, …
Canada And The Legacy Of The Indian Residential Schools: Transitional Justice For Indigenous People In A Non-Transitional Society, Courtney Jung
Canada And The Legacy Of The Indian Residential Schools: Transitional Justice For Indigenous People In A Non-Transitional Society, Courtney Jung
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
The framework of transitional justice, originally devised to facilitate reconciliation in countries undergoing transitions from authoritarianism to democracy, is used with increasing frequency to respond to certain types of human rights violations against indigenous peoples. In some cases, transitional justice measures are employed in societies not undergoing regime transition. This paper outlines some of the potential complexities involved in processing indigenous demands for justice through a transitional justice framework. First, governments and indigenous peoples may differ over the scope of injustices that transitional justice measures can address. Second, governments may try to use transitional justice to draw a line through …
Football Barriers – Aboriginal Under‐Representation And Disconnection From The ‘World Game’, John Maynard
Football Barriers – Aboriginal Under‐Representation And Disconnection From The ‘World Game’, John Maynard
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Indigenous Australians have had some great successes in Australian football and rugby. However, this success has not been mirrored in the ‘world game’, soccer. This study examines the reasons for such under-representation in Australia. The barriers to access to soccer were a combination of racist government policy which restricted the movement of Aboriginal people, and thus their opportunities to engage with a game that was not located near the isolated reserves in which they were held. The most successful Aboriginal players were fortunate that their circumstances placed them in close proximity to locales that were soccer strongholds. Moreover, the multicultural …

Picture Imperfect: Re-Reading Imagery Of Aborigines In Walkabout, Mitchell Rolls
Picture Imperfect: Re-Reading Imagery Of Aborigines In Walkabout, Mitchell Rolls
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
The representation of Aborigines in the popular Australian magazine Walkabout has attracted the attention of a small number of scholars. For the most part their analyses draw a distinction between the portrayals of primitive natives and those of the emergent modernising Australian nation. It is argued that Aborigines appear as debased, as noble savages, or as bearers of an idealised and imagined traditional culture. These representational strategies are evident in both photo- graphs and text in Walkabout. Whilst not necessarily disagreeing with these critiques, more nuanced readings of Aboriginal photographic representation in Walkabout are possible. This article seeks to reveal …
Security And Belonging: Reconceptualising Aboriginal Spatial Mobilities In Yamatji Country, Western Australia, Sarah Prout
Security And Belonging: Reconceptualising Aboriginal Spatial Mobilities In Yamatji Country, Western Australia, Sarah Prout
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Since British colonisation of Australia began, Aboriginal mobility practices have been poorly understood within the Anglo-Australian consciousnesses. This paper examines current discourses and conceptualisations of Aboriginal mobilities in Yamatji country, Western Australia. Finding none of these explanations and interpretations singularly sufficient to encompass the diverse spatial practices of Aboriginal people in the region, the paper proposes an alternative framework for interpreting and understanding these population dynamics. The central tenet of this reconceptualisation is that contemporary Aboriginal spati- alities – including spatial distribution, movements, and immobility – are iteratively shaped by the processes of procuring, contesting, and cultivating security and belonging. …

Common Insights, Differing Methodologies: Towards A Fusion Of Indigenous Methodologies, Participatory Action Research, And White Studies In An Urban Aboriginal Research Agenda, Mike Evans, Rachelle Hole, Lawrence D. Berg, Peter Hutchinson, Dixon Sookraj
Common Insights, Differing Methodologies: Towards A Fusion Of Indigenous Methodologies, Participatory Action Research, And White Studies In An Urban Aboriginal Research Agenda, Mike Evans, Rachelle Hole, Lawrence D. Berg, Peter Hutchinson, Dixon Sookraj
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In this paper we discuss three broad research approaches: Indigenous Methodologies, Participatory Action Research, and White Studies. We suggest that a fusion of these three approaches can be useful, especially in terms of collaborative work with Indigenous communities. More specifically, we argue that using Indigenous Methodologies and Participatory Action Research, but refocusing the object of inquiry directly and specifically on the institutions and structures that Indigenous peoples face, can be a particularly effective way of transforming Indigenous peoples from the objects of inquiry to its authors. A case study focused on the development of appropriate research methods for a collaborative …
