Stories and Words, Advocacy and Social Justice: Finding Voice for Aboriginal Women in Australia
A framework of self-determination means not speaking on behalf of people – even as an advocate – but to create the environment and conditions for those who have been silenced to speak for themselves. This article reflects on the role of storytelling for justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families. I closely consider three stories of child removal, as told by their impacted families, and in their localised context…
Factors affecting crime rates in six rural Indigenous communities
This chapter outlines research undertaken by Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at the University of Technology Sydney that sought to understand factors affecting crime rates in six rural Indigenous communities based on observations and interviews. They are contemporary impact of &s;historical&s; legacies, intercommunity relations, intra-community relations, self-determination and autonomy, resourcefulness and a &s;can-do&s; attitude, and poli…
Genocide: The Distance Between Law and Life
When we left Port Augusta, when they took us away, we could only talk Aboriginal. We only knew one language and when we went down there, well we had to communicate somehow. Anyway, when I come back I couldn't even speak my own language. And that really buggered my identity up. It took me 40 odd years before I became a man in my own people's eyes, through Aboriginal law. Whereas I should've went through that when I was about 12 years of age. This …
Asserting the Doctrine of Discovery in Australia
This chapter explores the continual adoption of the principles of Discovery into contemporary Australian law. It looks at the overturning of the terra nullius element in the Mabo case in 1992 but also looks at how the Doctrine of Discovery still leaves a legacy in Australian law whereby the rights of indigenous peoples remain unprotected.
Discovering Indigenous Lands
England explored and colonized the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada under the authority of an international law called the Doctrine of Discovery. When Europeans set out to exploit and expropriate the lands, commercial, governmental, and human rights of the indigenous peoples of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States in the 15th through to the 20th centuries, they justified their sovereignty and claims over these te…

Home: The Importance of Place to the Dispossessed
The concept of "home" is multifaceted and complex. This is especially so for Aboriginal people who are forcibly removed from their land, retain deep spiritual and cultural attachments to their traditional homes, but have been forced to create new communities. This essay looks at the concepts of home and place from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective. It looks at the way in which Aboriginal families have navigated assimilation policies such as t…

It's broke so fix it: Arguments for a Bill of Rights
This paper looks at the reasons why a Bill of Rights may be an attractive option for \nrights protection for Indigenous Australians and I want to start by saying that my \nviews are personal; I am not claiming that they are reflective of the Indigenous \ncommunity. I am going to structure my paper to answer one of the claims most often \nused against a Bill of Rights, namely, that the current system already allows for \nadequate rights protection…

In your dreams: Cultural appropriation, popular culture and colonialism
Industrialisation, globalisation, technological advancement, urbanisation, mass communication systems and other sources of modernity have created a society with contradictions. As much as these elements offer the individual interconnectedness with others, a plethora of opportunities, the ability to transcend gender, racial, cultural and geographical boundaries they also contribute to an impersonal society whose members complain of alienation and …

At the Back of the Class. At the Front of the Class: Experiences as Aboriginal Student and Aboriginal Teacher
This is a persona] account of an Aboriginal woman who went through the education system in Australia to obtain finally her law degree. Aboriginal people experience many hurdles in the education system. Many Aboriginal children feel alienated within the legal system which until recently focused on a colonial history of Australia, ignoring the experiences, indeed the presence, of indigenous people in Australia. The Australian government had a polic…
