  • Being Indigenous in the Bureaucracy

    Open AccessJ LahnARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2018

    Australia’s civil service has had some success in attracting substantial numbers of Indigenous employees. But significant numbers also regularly exit the bureaucracy. Retaining Indigenous employees is recognised as an ongoing difficulty for government.

Among the objects presumed lost were items from the Lewis Collection, obtained in the Torres Strait in 1836. This collection constituted the museum's entire holdings from the region at that time and the earliest collection of Torres Strait objects held by any institution. This paper aims to bring renewed focu…

    Benjamin Smith, David Claudie et al.BOOKThe social effects of native title2007Citada por: 1

Its effects have been felt from the local level through to the national level ever since the success of the Mabo No.2 case in the Federal Court.

    This paper argues that women's everyday practice of sharing fish at Warraber Island (Torres Strait) can be understood as a form of moral transaction. Gift‐fish are shown to be ‘socially entangled’, a fundamental mode of expressing kin relatedness as well as providing an indication of the current state of such relations. Fish distribution is portrayed locally as both an instance of generosity and of obligation, demonstrating a person's desire to e…
