Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, Peter Rogers concluded that 'Australia has not done itself justice in the handling of modern industry versus Aborigines conflict. the lack of preparation. is a disgrace to government, private organisations and unions alike'. What has happened since then? Aboriginals and the mining industry reviews three main questions - to what extent have Aboriginals shared in the fruits of the mining boom? Have new land rights helped Aboriginals protect their interests as affected by mining? And what has been the contribution of mining to the economic development of remote Aboriginal communities? These are vital questions for all concerned with the impact of mining expansion on Aboriginal communities. This book reviews the participation of Aborigines in the mining company employment. It examines the contribution of the recent land rights legislation to protecting Aboriginal interests. And it asks how far the growth of mining in remote parts of Australia has aided the economic development of Aboriginal groups living there. Detailed case studies of mining projects included.
Download or read book My Country Mine Country written by Benedict Scambary and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agreements between the mining industry and Indigenous people are not creating sustainable economic futures for Indigenous people, and this demands consideration of alternate forms of economic engagement in order to realise such futures. Within the context of three mining agreements in north Australia this study considers Indigenous livelihood aspirations and their intersection with sustainable development agendas. The three agreements are the Yandi Land Use Agreement in the Central Pilbara in Western Australia, the Ranger Uranium Mine Agreement in the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory, and the Gulf Communities Agreement in relation to the Century zinc mine in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland. Recent shifts in Indigenous policy in Australia seek to de-emphasise the cultural behaviour or imperatives of Indigenous people in undertaking economic action, in favour of a mainstream conventional approach to economic development. Concepts of value, identity, and community are key elements in the tension between culture and economics that exists in the Indigenous policy environment. Whilst significant diversity exists within the Indigenous polity, Indigenous aspirations for the future typically emphasise a desire for alternate forms of economic engagement that combine elements of the mainstream economy with the maintenance and enhancement of Indigenous institutions and livelihood activities. Such aspirations reflect ongoing and dynamic responses to modernity, and typically concern the interrelated issues of access to and management of country, the maintenance of Indigenous institutions associated with family and kin, access to resources such as cash and vehicles, the establishment of robust representative organisations, and are integrally linked to the derivation of both symbolic and economic value of livelihood pursuits.

Book excerpt: Agreements between the mining industry and Indigenous people are not creating sustainable economic futures for Indigenous people, and this demands consideration of alternate forms of economic engagement in order to realise such 'futures'. Within the context of three mining agreements in north Australia this study considers Indigenous livelihood aspirations and their intersection with sustainable development agendas. The three agreements are the Yandi Land Use Agreement in the Central Pilbara in Western Australia, the Ranger Uranium Mine Agreement in the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory, and the Gulf Communities Agreement in relation to the Century zinc mine in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland. Recent shifts in Indigenous policy in Australia seek to de-emphasise the cultural behaviour or imperatives of Indigenous people in undertaking economic action, in favour of a mainstream conventional approach to economic development. Concepts of 'value', 'identity', and 'community' are key elements in the tension between culture and economics that exists in the Indigenous policy environment. Whilst significant diversity exists within the Indigenous polity, Indigenous aspirations for the future typically emphasise a desire for alternate forms of economic engagement that combine elements of the mainstream economy with the maintenance and enhancement of Indigenous institutions and 'livelihood' activities. Such aspirations reflect ongoing and dynamic responses to modernity, and typically concern the interrelated issues of access to and management of 'country', the maintenance of Indigenous institutions associated with family and kin, access to resources such as cash and vehicles, the establishment of robust representative organisations, and are integrally linked to the derivation of both symbolic and economic value of livelihood pursuits.

Download or read book Indigenous People and the Pilbara Mining Boom written by John Taylor and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest escalation of mining activity in Australian history is currently underway in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Pilbara-based transnational resource companies recognise that major social and economic impacts on Indigenous communities in the region are to be expected and that sound relations with these communities and the pursuit of sustainable regional economies involving greater Indigenous participation provide the necessary foundations for a social licence to operate. This study examines the dynamics of demand for Indigenous labour in the region, and the capacity of local supply to respond. A special feature of this study is the inclusion of qualitative data reporting the views of local Indigenous people on the social and economic predicaments that face them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intergovernmental Working Group on the Mineral Industry formed a Sub-committee, Native Participation in Mining to study all aspects of Native participation in mining. The Sub-committee's objectives are to document best practices, with a realistic view to the incidence of the costs and benefits of each and to identify new ways of matching Native lifestyles with the mineral industry employment opportunities; to identify the concrete steps which governments, mining companies, Native groups and individuals can take to substantially boost Native participation in mining; and to examine what, if any, incentives could be identified and what legal and structural barriers to development could be removed, in order to speed progress toward the goal of increased Native participation in mining. A report summary is given. The appendices include: increasing capacity in aboriginal communities through participation in mineral exploration and mining; joint ventures for economic development; case studies; the mining-aboriginal people demographic relationship; selected federal government programs/policies for aboriginal participation in mining; and aboriginal participation in mining, six year of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the last few years many companies involved in the mineral industry have contacted governments and expressed a willingness to learn about, communicate with, and work with Aboriginal people. The following checklist has been developed to provide interested companies with some guidance. Its purpose is to ensure that the company's relationship with the Aboriginal people will be as productive as possible. These guidelines are applicable at all stages of the mining process: staking exploration, development and mine operation as well as closure and rehabilitation. They should also prove helpful if a company becomes involved in a project at an advanced stage. In the event of a change of ownership, it is important that the lines of communications remain open. It is important to stress that, in order to build trust between the mining/exploration company and the local people, community consultations should be done in person. It should be noted since that much of the information that is mentioned in this brochure is available from the various levels of government, a list of contacts has been included. The term Aboriginal people refers to the descendants of the original inhabitants of Canada. Aboriginal people are defined in the Constitution Act, 1982 as all indigenous people including Indians, Métis and Inuit. (Au)"--ASTIS [online] bibliography.
