Book excerpt: Key Features: Provides clear and authoritative recommendations for managing fire in ecological and social contexts Authors are all international leaders in their fields and include not only academics but also leaders of Indigenous communities Explains Indigenous cultural and knowledge systems to a degree that has rarely been accessible to lay and academic readers outside specialized disciplines like Anthropology Responds to growing need for new approaches to managing human-ecological systems that are in greater sympathy with Australia’s natural environments/climate, and value the knowledge of Indigenous people Timely for scholarly and interest groups intervention, as the Australian government is again looking to ‘develop the north' Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia sets out a vision for developing North Australia based on a culturally appropriate and ecologically sustainable land sector economy. This vision supports both Indigenous cultural responsibilities and aspirations, as well as enhancing enterprise opportunities for society as a whole. In the past, well-meaning if often misguided policy agendas have failed - and continue to fail - North Australians. This book helps breach that gap by acknowledging and harnessing Indigenous cultural strengths and knowledge systems for looking after the country and its people, as part of a smart, novel and diversified ecosystem services economy.

Download or read book History of Bilingual Education in the Northern Territory written by Brian Clive Devlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first detailed history of the Bilingual Education Program in the Northern Territory of Australia. This ambitious and innovative program began in 1973 and at different times it operated in English and 19 Aboriginal languages in 29 very remote schools. The book draws together the grassroots perspectives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous practitioners and researchers. Each chapter is based on rich practitioner experience, capturing bottom-up aspirations, achievements and reflections on this innovative, yet largely undocumented language and education program. The volume also makes use of a significant collection of ‘grey literature’ documents to trace the history of the program. An ethnographic approach has been used to integrate practitioner accounts into the contexts of broader social and political forces, education policy decisions and on-the-ground actions. Language in education policy is viewed at multiple, intersecting levels: from the interactions of individuals, communities of practice and bureaucracy, to national and global forces. The book offers valuable insights as it examines in detail the policy settings that helped and hindered bilingual education in the context of minority language rights in Australia and elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report was commissioned by the Australian Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in June 1977 to evaluate the impact of distributing mining royalties to Aboriginal Communities. The Prime Minister of Australia announced the commissioning of the report in Parliament on August 23, 1977 with the decision to mine and export uranium from Aboriginal Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. The Minister nominated three areas for the study: 1. Bamyili and inland government advised township near Katherine that was unlikely to be directly involved in mining; 2. Yirrkala, a coastal community that had been receiving bauxite ground rents for seven years with nearby Groote Eylandt community that had been receiving royalty from a manganese mine for 13 years; 3. Oenpelli, an inland church mission advised community in the heart of Aboriginal land that had 25% of the worlds known uranium reserves. There had been no previous economic analysis of Aboriginal Communities in Australia. The report was undertaken in two parts to allow a year to collect data on the cash transferred to each community by dozens of Federal and Northern Territory government departments with details of the political economy of each community and its social profile. This revealed the cost and nature of financial dependency and opportunity for self-sufficiency with or without mining royalties. The report presented an analysis of the political economy created by the 1977 Aboriginal Lands Rights (Northern Territory) Act that set up Land Councils for their management. Besides adopting a heterodox cashflow form of economic analysis an original methodology was developed to evaluate Aboriginal 'integrative mechanisms' to determine if financial self-sufficiency could provide a basis to promote self-management and self-determination as recommended by the Report.
Download or read book Never Trust a Government Man written by Tony Austin and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of the administration of Aboriginal affairs by the Commonwealth Government in the Northern Territory in the period to the Second World War. It provides a detailed account of the development of government policy in the areas of justice, employment, missionary activities and welfare. Government activities are set in the context of white racism in the North and in the nation's capital. The book shows that Aboriginal people had good reason not to trust government men. They were deprived, in the name of protection, of the civil liberties and welfare assistance that non-Aboriginal Australians could take for granted. They knew better than to expect fair treatment by most police officers, or in the courts, or in the workplace. They successfully opposed constant attempts to deprive them of their Aboriginal identity. Yet during the period covered by this book, there was a very gradual improvement in their treatment. A small number of northern officials and southern politicians quietly, often timorously, rarely vigorously, urged a modicum of fairness, while vociferous southern humanitarian groups exerted pressure on the Commonwealth Government out of all proportion to their small membership. This book will be of interest to the general reader and to students of Australian history as well as those concerned with matters of social justice for Aboriginal people.
