Abstract:

This thesis is a study of fibre container forms primarily made by women today in Arnhem Land. It investigates a complex set of relationships between the forms, mainly baskets, bags and mats, their makers and users, their functions, their morphology, their manufacture, and history. It does this within the cultural context of Yolηu cosmology with emphasis on the belief system and relationship of the forms to other items of material culture. Although the majority of the contemporary material for this study is from Gapuwiyak in eastern Arnhem Land it draws upon work from the entirety of Arn

AIM This thesis is based on a collection of stories (most of which relate to bark paintings), that were told to me by speakers of the Kunwinjku language of the Northern Territory of Australia. My objective is to show that these particular stories have an important role in the transmission of Kunwinjku culture. I do this by seeking to understand the stories and how they are used by Kunwinjku people. I first consider the stories in the original Kunwinjku language; secondly I relate the stories to the western Arnhem Land artistic traditions; and thirdly I examine their social context. The impor

Abstract:

This subthesis is concerned with one aspect of the sociolinguistic situation at Yirrkala in N.E. Arnhem Land. In particular I shall be looking at the role and structure of a contemporary dialect of Yolngu Matha, Dhuwaya or so called "Baby Gumatj" in relation to other clan dialects. The main purpose of choosing this thesis topic is to lay some linguistic groundwork for the making of an informed decision in regard to the use of Dhuwaya within the bilingual program at Yirrkala Community School. If it is decided to employ Dhuwaya in the earlier grades (which appears to be the case), then

This ethnography demonstrates that it is through images of the body and movement that the Yolnu of North-east Arnhem Land uphold their ancestral wisdom and construct their vision of the future in a changing world. The importance of body imagery is examined in the kinship system; features of the landscape; the process of naming and the power of names; the formation of personal and group identities, political outlook and emotional bonds; the behaviour and creation of the ancestors; and in the re-creation of ancestral space and movement in mortuary ceremonies, song and dance.

It has also become widely used as a symbol of indigeniety among indigenous peoples and their spokesmen all over the world.

Abstract:

The archaeology of contact rock art in Australia is an emerging field exploring Indigenous reactions to encounters with outsiders, which has gained momentum over the past couple of decades. In this research, the impact of contact seen in rock art and archaeology was assessed, with a focus on the Northern Territory, Australia. Specifically, in Arnhem Land, the Djulirri rock shelter was chosen as the key case study because of its excellent and unique collection of contact rock art. To understand contact narratives more broadly, this thesis focuses on how hybridity (merging of cultures), conserva

Abstract:

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians, tobacco, alcohol and petrol misuse have received much attention. Cannabis, by contrast, has not been viewed as a major problem. However, since the 1990s it has become apparent that cannabis use is very common in some remote Indigenous communities in northern Australia. Significant associated health and social burdens are now being recognised. Indigenous Australians, whether living in urban or rural settings, are more likely than other Australians to report cannabis use. This appears similar to recent reports of cannabis use

Abstract:

This thesis exposes the dichotomies and binaries that have characterised theoretical and political discourses in the provision of remote Indigenous education in Australia. The research finds that ideological tensions and over simplified notions of biculturalism in Indigenous affairs have dominated policy settings, resulting in compromised pedagogy at the classroom level. The research also finds that a structural disconnect exists in remote Indigenous education between schools, community and work at a local level. This disconnect is perpetuated by a failure of remote educational provisio

Abstract:

Collaborative community-university partnerships are an ethical approach to conduct research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, to achieve outcomes relevant to these communities. In 2016, a research project was conducted in collaboration with, and directed by, the Yirralka Miyalk (Women’s) Rangers (YMR) of Laynhapuy Homelands, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia and the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (NICM) at Western Sydney University. As a continuation of this collaboration, the research documented in this thesis investigates the bush products manufactured by YM

Abstract:

Human-environment interactions will be profoundly affected by anthropogenic climate change. Coastal communities, dependent on freshwater ecosystems for their livelihoods and cultural practices, are likely to be seriously impacted by rising sea level. For communities already subject to marginalising forces of remoteness, poverty or the legacies of colonisation, climate change impacts will likely compound existing stressors. The freshwater floodplains of the Alligator Rivers Region in the Northern Territory, spanning Kakadu National Park and part of W
