Introduction to ‘Anthropology and change over the land rights era’
This collection of papers arose from a conversation among several of us contributors with long-term experience of working as anthropologists in land and native title claims. We felt that we and others with such involvement had written relatively little about our observations at this intersection of anthropology and law, but that we all had a sense of issues and changes throughout the ‘land rights era’. By that we mean the last 50 years since the …
Agreement‐making in the post‐claims era
As claims under the Aboriginal Land Rights (NT) Act 1976 (ALRA) have drawn to a close, the work of ‘agreement making’ between Indigenous groups and developers has accelerated to become the primary function of land councils. In this paper, we trace dynamics of continuity and change in Indigenous and Western institutional lives across two ethnographic surveys in the stone country of western Arnhem Land. These surveys were conducted by the authors f…
Karribolknahnan kunred la kundulk
In Mirarr Kunred (Country) in the Alligator Rivers region of the Northern Territory, Australia, a particular form of scarred, culturally modified tree (CMT) is actively being created as Bininj (Aboriginal people) harvest bark to be used as art canvases (dolobbo). Cultural heritage surveys carried out over the past 5 years in and near the township of Jabiru have recorded numerous dolobbo trees, along with a smaller number of older CMTs containing …
Language naming in Indigenous Australia
Language naming systems are local ways of organising diversity, yet the language names used by linguists are sometimes incommensurable with the lived social reality of speakers. The process of assigning language names is not neutral, trivial or objective: it is a highly political process driven and shaped by understandings of group identity, similarity and difference. Closer attention to local perspectives on language naming offers important insi…
Matries and Subsections
There is extensive research on the range of ways in which kinship is constituted, but little research on the coherence between the various domains which are grouped together as “kinship.” Understanding the linkages and differences between domains is central to advancing analysis of kinship. This article examines the domains of “matry” and “subsection” in northern Australia. These share principles of descent-based recruitment, but differ in their …
‘Stories of long ago’ and the forces of modernity in South Pentecost
In the Sa language of southern Pentecost Island in Vanuatu, mythical narratives are known as dun. Notions of authenticity in the telling of dun engender debates about the status of competing versions and the links between dun and place. A current example I examine is the annual gol ‘land diving ritual’ and the disputes which have developed over who is entitled to benefit from the commercial benefits of this ceremony. Dun narratives in such contex…
From a Distance
Murray Garde's article combines a study of the Aboriginal musical culture of the Maningrida area, in Arnhem Land (Northern Territory, Australia), with an analysis of the international responses to their world wide web site and a discussion of the manner in which (some) Internet communities can also use the medium in ways which serve to perpetuate- rather than dissipate -essentialism and myth making with regard to indigenous cultures

Person reference, proper names and circumspection in Bininj Kunwok conversation
Proper names in Bininj Kunwok are one of a number of unmarked referring expressions in contexts of high social familiarity. In most other contexts and especially where culturally motivated circumspection is required, names are avoided in favour of a range of other referring expressions. The traditional philosophy of language view is that proper names allow speakers to avoid having to state circumlocutory identity details each time reference to an…
Discourse and Grammar in Australian Languages
Discourse and Grammar in Australian Languages is the first major survey to address the issue of the effects of information packaging on Australian languages, widely known for nonconfigurationality. The papers are based on individual fieldwork and describe a wide range of Australian languages of different types, ranging from the polysynthetic languages of Arnhem Land and the Kimberley to the classical types represented by Walpiri. Topics covered i…
Kun-dangwok
The sociolinguistic concept of an Ausbau language is widely thought of as exclusively associated with the standardization of languages for the political and social purposes of nation states. Language policy initiated by state institutions, the development of literacy and new specialist registers of language are typical elements involved in the Ausbau process. However, the linguistic ideologies of small language groups such as those of the minorit…
The Pragmatics of Rude Jokes with Grandad
The classical joking relationship has fascinated anthropologists for decades, especially in relation to African societies. The existence of joking relationships in Aboriginal Australia has also been noted in ethnographies, but rarely described in a way that acknowledges that kinship-mediated humour can actually be creative and funny. Kinship is obviously central to an understanding of these relationships, but the institutions that engender joking…

The Language of Kun-horrk in Western Arnhem Land
Kun-borrk is a largely undocumented Aboriginal song genre from Western Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. The texts of these songs are in ordinary semantically-transparent language but the contextual meaning is often obscure. It is proposed that such vagueness in song text meaning, despite the use of ordinary contemporary language, is intentional and is part of a wider communicative practice of purposefully indirect and vague language. Included is …
The Maningrida Outstation Schools Radio Program
Children living on a number of remote outstations or homeland centres in Central Arnhem Land have had access to European style education for nearly twenty years now. The Northern Territory Education Department employs visiting teachers who make regular visits to some outstations to work with Aboriginal teachers and children in these small 'remote' communities. The visiting teachers mostly live in a central larger community and use the central hub…
