Witness Statements as Cross-Cultural (mis)Communication? Evidence from Blue Mud Bay
Translation, broadly defined as the articulation of the relationship between different cultural, social and legal systems, is at the heart of the anthropologist's or linguist's role as an expert witness in a native title hearing. It occurs at the level of individual lexemes, in categorising cultural concepts, and in the frame of the legal context. We exemplify the interrelationships between these by focussing on the quasi-legal use of the English…
Indigenous Data Sovereignty
Indigenous data sovereignty (IDS) describes a global movement that has arisen in response to Indigenous peoples' concerns over the data collected about them by state governments and other agencies, and the uses to which these data are put. Its main proponents are Indigenous people, be they academics, representatives from Indigenous organizations, or members of government agencies. In the spirit of the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigeno…
Toponyms from 3000 years ago? Implications for the history and structure of the Yolŋu social formation in north‐east Arnhem Land
The paper focuses on a set of toponyms found on the coast of Blue Mud Bay in northern Australia, in an area today occupied by Yolŋu (Murngin) peoples. In the first part of the paper, we present an analysis, based on geomorphological, archaeological, anthropological and linguistic evidence, to suggest that these toponyms have been in place for at least 3000 years, and that they are early Yolŋu toponyms. We then argue that certain social practices …
Relative Autonomy Revisited
s response (this issue) to our arti- cle ("Anthropological Theory and Government Policy in Australia's Northern Territory: The Hegemony of the 'Mainstream'" [AA 115(2):174-187]) draws attention to complex issues of social theory that lie at the heart of anthropological and sociological discourse.Anthropology, through the use of concepts such as cultural relativism, cultural translation, value-creation processes, and systems of social organization…
Anthropological Theory and Government Policy in Australia's Northern Territory
In this article, we set up a dialogue between two theoretical frameworks for understanding the developing relationships between indigenous Australians and the encapsulating Australian society. We argue that the concept of "the intercultural" de-emphasizes the agency of Aboriginal people and the durability of their social relations and value orientations. We develop the concept of relative autonomy in apposition. Our primary focus is on the Yolngu…
(Im)mobility
The socio‐cultural factors underlying contemporary Aboriginal settlement and mobility patterns are invisible to the categorisations that underpin both demographic modelling and policy that relies on that modelling. Taking the Yolngu people of north east Arnhem Land as a case study, this paper elaborates an anchored network model consisting of three tiers—an ontologically prior ancestral geography, with its associated contemporary settlements, to …
Redefining viability
The current policy debate about the future of small Indigenous homelands communities in remote Australia is being framed in terms of a narrow economic definition of ‘viability’, with little attention to factors such as the social characteristics of such communities and the health, well‐being, and aspirations of those who choose to live there. The debate is taking place in the absence of comparative socio‐demographic data on these communities as o…

The Social Effects of Native Title
Towards an uncertain community?The social effects of native title in central Cape York Peninsula
The social effects of native title
Native title has had a profound social impact in Australia. 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. But despite the involvement of large numbers of anthropologists in the field of native title practice (alongside lawyers, historians, archaeologists and others trained in the social sciences and humanities) there has been surprisingly little ref…
Agency, contingency and census process
The Indigenous Enumeration Strategy (IES) of the Australian National Census of Population and Housing has evolved over the years in response to the perceived ?difference? of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. Its defining characteristics are the use of locally recruited, mostly Indigenous collector interviewers, and the administration of a modified collection instrument in discrete Indigenous communities, mostly in remote Aust…
Tasting the Waters
This article focuses on the pattern of sea ownership in the north of Blue Mud Bay in Arnhem Land, north Australia. Detailed research into the specificities of sea and land ownership in the region has revealed a more complex pattern than has previously been supposed to exist. It is nonetheless one that can be accommodated within previous models of estate ownership in Australia. In the article we seek to explain the pattern of ownership observed ac…
