In consultation with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, the program was designed to encourage healthy lifestyle choices and promote strong, sustainable and mutu…
On the Political “Warpath”
On the Political “Warpath”Native Americans and Australian Aborigines after the First World War John Maynard (bio) In the wake of the First World War, Indigenous peoples in the United States and Australia joined a global push by those on the margins for self-determination, justice, and equality. This article focuses on and discusses two organizations that formed during this turbulent global time period: the Australian Aboriginal Progressive Associ…
Missing voices
Aboriginal involvement in World War I is at once complex and full of contradictions. During the Great War, many Aboriginal people and communities were keen to enlist and supportive of the war effort while others spoke out against conscription and the war. It is important to trace Aboriginal voices both during and after the war to comprehend what Aboriginal people had to say about the conflict. This article seeks to provide answers to some of thes…
Images of protest and activism
This exhibition was an outstanding and timely recognition of the 1965 Freedom Ride. It is now 50 years since Charles Perkins and a group of non-Indigenous students from the University of Sydney too
‘Let us go’ … it’s a ‘Blackfellows’ War’
There remains much mystery, misconception and myth surrounding the history of Aboriginal involvement with the South African Anglo-Boer War (hereafter Boer War). Unquestionably, Aboriginal men did go to South Africa and play a part, but the numbers, identity and background of these men remains sketchy. The war in South Africa remains itself somewhat the forgotten war. Jim Davidson has reflected that its memory 'slipped from public consciousness re…
The Politics of War and the 'Battle of Balaklava
This paper seeks to aid and open further discussion on the impact upon Aboriginal communities and lives during and after World War One. We now know that over a thousand Aboriginal men enlisted and went overseas to fight for their so-called country during the Great War and that many made the ultimate sacrifice. But what was happening at home to their families and communities whilst they were away? Did they receive just recognition on their return …
Land, children and politics
In this publication to honour Professor Ann Curthoys this article considers the comparative aspects of Native American and Australian Aboriginal political activism in the time period 1900–1930. Central to the study is the importance of revealing the missing chapters of Indigenous political history in both the countries during these important and largely overlooked decades. The approach undertaken is restorative history and privileges the tools of…
Remembering Aboriginal Heroes
John Ramsland has had a long, fruitful and much respected relationship with local Aboriginal people and communities of the Hunter Valley and North Coast. Recently his close working relationship wit
Awabakal voices
The late Percy Haslam, a noted journalist and scholar of Newcastle, had a long, continued and significant association with Aboriginal peoples within the Newcastle and Hunter Valley regions. The language, culture and history of the Awabakal became his obsession and life’s work. Haslam died some 25 years ago and dozens of boxes of his papers and work were deposited with the archive section at the Auchmuty Library of the University of Newcastle. In …

Australian history – lifting haze or descending fog
Despite the deep horrors of the Aboriginal experience during the past 216 years, we continue to draw strength and inspiration from the tenacity and courage that our people displayed to survive. Across recent decades we have witnessed the fervour, patriotism and nationalistic flag-waving and bell ringing that coincided with the 1988 Bicentennial, with Reconciliation, the Olympic Games and the Federation celebrations. Any appraisal of the 100 years…
Aboriginal stars of the pigskin
Although much had been written about the participation of Aboriginal sportsmen and women, particularly in boxing, football and athletics, there had been little researched or written regarding Aboriginal involvement with horse-racing. This article is the result of research during early 1996 in the author's term as the Aboriginal History Stanner Fellow, Australian National University. Sadly the depth of research was restricted by the limit of the a…

Transnational Understandings of Australian Aboriginal Sporting Migration
This article will examine the impact of Aboriginal sporting participation and movement around the globe. The experiences, influences and inspiration that Aboriginal sporting men and women absorbed while travelling internationally have played a prominent role in changing the perceptions and understanding of Aboriginal people to the wider populace. The later stages of the nineteenth and early twentieth century were a period in which Aboriginal peop…
Shark, Remora and Aboriginal History
This paper has two clearly divided sections – the first will explore the concept of colonial history as a metaphor- likened to a cruising shark. The domain of this powerful shark is the oceans of history – its practice, understanding, delivery and ownership. The second part of the paper will examine two aspects of Keith Windschuttle’s book The Fabrication of Aboriginal history with which I take issue namely the massacre at Risdon Cove in 1804 and…
Football barriers – Aboriginal under‐representation and disconnection from the ‘world game’
Indigenous Australians have had some great successes in Australian football and rugby. However, this success has not been mirrored in the ‘world game’, soccer. This study examines the reasons for such under‐representation in Australia. The barriers to access to soccer were a combination of racist government policy which restricted the movement of Aboriginal people, and thus their opportunities to engage with a game that was not located near the i…
Circles in the Sand
This paper seeks to identify and explore the differences of Indigenous approaches to historical practice. Why is history so important to Indigenous Australia? History is of crucial importance across the full spectrum of Indigenous understanding and knowledge. History belongs to all cultures and they have differing means of recording and recalling it. In essence, the paper explores the undercurrents of Australian history and the absence for so lon…

Sex, race and power
Nearly every recent history of Aboriginal peoples in Australia makes some reference to relationships between Aboriginal women and white men, but virtually none mentions the inverse relationships between Aboriginal men and white women. The present paper examines these historically obscure and erased interracial relationships. These relationships represent a myriad of experiences, any study of sex and love across racial boundaries being a revelatio…
Vision, voice and influence
This article will challenge and dispel many of the myths and misconceptions associated with the onset of organised Aboriginal political protest. The paper examines the rise in the 1920s of the Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association, highlighting international influences that impacted on the directives of this early Aboriginal political organisation. By identifying and describing such influences, the article necessitates are‐evaluation of A…

The Diagnosis of Charlotte Brontë's Final Illness
Charlotte Brontë's death at thirty eight, long blamed on tuberculosis, has more recently been attributed to hyperemesis gravidarum, vomiting during pregnancy. Treated as psychosomatic, this latter disease has also been cited to justify a view of Brontë as dying from a final attack of a lifelong neurotic illness. Close scrutiny of the evidence and medical consultation lead to conclusions: 1. that Brontë was not certainly pregnant and 2. she most l…
