Hope in a time of world‐shattering events and unbearable situations: Policing and an emergent ‘ethics of dwelling’ in Lander Warlpiri country
In November 2019, members of Willowra community marched on the local police station in protest against the police shooting of Kumunjayi Walker at Yuendumu. Expressing solidarity with family at Yuendumu, individuals breached the barbwire fence of the vacant police compound. Unlike settlements such as Yuendumu, which have had resident police for decades, Willowra police station is 1 of 18 Northern Territory ‘Taskforce Themis’ stations set up as a t…
Sharing and storing digital cultural records in Central Australian Indigenous communities
This article considers how Indigenous peoples in Central Australia share and keep digital records of events and cultural knowledge in a period of rapid technological change.

Recently, the arrival of a stranger in a truck towing a donkey trailer …

Pointing the Phone: Transforming Technologies and Social Relations among Warlpiri
Many central Australian Aboriginal settlements have recently gained access to mobile phones and the Internet. This paper explores ways in which Aboriginal people engage with this technology outside of institutional settings. Drawing on long‐term research among Warlpiri, I reflect on people's responses to earlier communication media such as the two‐way radio and radio–telephone and compare them to patterns of use emerging around new technologies. …
