A NEW MAP RECORDING the massacres of Aboriginal clans across the East Coast of Australia, also known as the Colonial Frontier, has been constructed by researchers from the University of Newcastle.
With over 150 sites recorded, the map provides new insights into the scope of the massacres that occurred following the arrival of the First Fleet, as well as providing closure to Indigenous people from respective clans. Rethinking Indigenous Australia's agricultural past - Bush Telegraph. It has long been thought that prior to white settlement, Indigenous Australians lived a nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
Now some scholars argue that the first Australians practised forms of agriculture and aquaculture, writes Cathy Pryor. When explorer and surveyor Major Thomas Mitchell ventured into Australia’s inland in the early 1800s, he recorded in his journals his impressions of the landscape. Around him he noted expanses of bright yellow herbs, nine miles of grain-like grass, cut and stooped, and earthen clods that had been turned up, resembling ‘ground broken by the hoe’. Mitchell, like other early explorers, noted what many white Australians would later overlook: there was evidence everywhere on this vast continent that Aboriginal Australians managed the land.

As teachers know, the new Australian Curriculum includes three cross-curriculum ‘priorities’, one of which is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures.
One of the science topics includes Year 2 students identifying toys from different cultures that use the forces of push or pull, and this made me wonder about traditional Aboriginal games and whether there was a concept of a ‘toy’ in nomadic lifestyles. I’ve read a few memoirs and a quite a few children’s books by ATSI authors but I don’t recall any of them referring to this topic at all. Keen to include Aboriginal perspectives on this topic if possible, I contacted Dr Anita Heiss who is Adjunct Professor at the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning, at the University of Technology, Sydney. Friend or foe? Anthropology’s encounter with Aborigines. An Aboriginal colleague recalls: “When I started at university you would say ‘anthropologist’ and spit on the ground in disgust.
But no one explained what anthropology actually was.” For many Indigenous Australian scholars, and many scholars who identify as postcolonial, anthropologists are the enemy from the colonial past. As culpable as the murderers or mission managers, worse than the politicians and more devious than the overtly racist population, anthropologists are seen as wolves in sheep’s clothing, exploiting Aboriginal knowledge without accepting any mutual obligation. Indigenous historian John Maynard even claimed that Geoffrey Blainey’s book Triumph of the Nomads had “delivered Aboriginal people from the hands of the anthropologists” in 1975. Anthropology has become the whipping boy targeted by scholars who want to be postcolonial and believe they can bestow on colonialism’s victims their rightful place in a postcolonial world.

Australian Aborigines spent 50,000 years isolated from the rest of us. Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Tasmania made up one of the first regions modern humans reached after leaving Africa some 50,000 years ago.
But, before Europeans arrived in the colonial era, did others follow? Some scientists have said the archaeological record hints at an influx of new people around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago from India. At that time, languages and stone tools changed significantly, and Australian wild dogs, dingoes, arrived. But geneticists found no evidence of such a migration in the Y chromosome of indigenous people living there today in a new study published Thursday in the journal Current Biology. Y chromosomes, passed from father to son, represent only paternal lineages. Stolen Generations—effects and consequences.

In 2009 more than thirty Stolen Generations’ Survivors shared their stories, their memories and themselves in the first round of interviews for the ‘Stolen Generations’ Testimonies Foundation’.
These are their testimonies. Aboriginal languages will be a HSC subject from next year. Aboriginal languages will become a new HSC subject from 2016 after a decade of planning. NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli announced the move on Monday, saying the new course would “help maintain this critical part of Aboriginal cultures”, Fairfax Media reports. Since 2005, students have been able to study Aboriginal languages from kindergarten to year 10. From next year, Year 11 and 12 students can also study the languages – a positive move, according to University of Sydney Indigenous education lecturer John Hobson.
“There are quite a few people who want to progress to studying it in their HSC, but that hasn’t been possible and now it is, so that’s a great thing,” Mr Hobson told Mamamia.

Gaye Levy, GuestWaking Times. “Wild Stones: Spiritual Discipline and Psychic Power among Aboriginal Clever Men” - by James Cowan.
In any living tradition there must always be cultural exemplars who reflect a condition of primordiality which acts as a link between the natural and supernatural worlds. Such men (and occasionally women) possess certain qualities of behavior and, more properly, a presence that others may recognize as being distinctively different. Among indigenous cultures such as that of Australian Aborigines or American Indians, these cultural exemplars are men who have undergone a ritual initiation that sets them apart from other members of their tribe, and which is separate from those rituals normally associated with the passage from adolescence into manhood. In the context of Aboriginal society the making of a karadji,[1] or clever man, is a vocation like any other spiritual discipline; few men are called to it and even fewer survive the psychic terrors that are so often inherent in its attainment.
