50 years since the Bark Petitions, the Yolngu look towards tomorrow

KEEPING CULTURE STRONG THROUGH SONG: Bark Petitions concert review, page 10. “I want to be able to watch television on a screen that has a picture without fuzzy lines through it.”

Yirrkala school children Marayala Yunupingu, Mawunymula Garawirrtja and Siena Stubbs presented Prime Minister Kevin Rudd with a larrakitj containing their messages.

These were just some of the visions for the future of Yolngu people, told to Australia by Yirrkala School students on the fiftieth anniversary of the bark petitions. Fifty years on from when Australia’s Parliament first recognised the voice of Yolngu people, it was a day for the nation to listen closely to their hopes for the next fifty years. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told the Arafura Times the biggest impression he took out of his trip to Yirrkala last Wednesday was the commitment of the elders heading into the future. “They take this place to their hearts, they are proud of its history, but they want to get on to the future.” Mr Rudd said Gumatj clan leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu and other elders spoke to him about the ways to get on with building the

next fifty years. “From what they’ve described, it should be from too much dependency to more selfreliance. “And I’m willing to be partners in that.” The momentous anniversary brought in highprofile politicians, Aboriginal leaders and dignitaries from around the country for the central event of NAIDOC Week. The day featured an official ceremony where original signatories and land-rights activists spoke about the accomplishment, which was followed by an afternoon and evening of celebrations. Following the public ceremony in Yirrkala’s Rika Park, a private meeting was held in BukuLarrnggay Mulka Centre (Yirrkala Arts Centre) between the Prime Minister and Yolngu clan leaders.

Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation Dhimurru wishes to advise that due to funding constraints we are unable to continue rubbish bin collection at Galuru (East Woody), Middle Carpark and Wirrawuy and are therefore removing the bins at those locations. We ask that people using these beaches help us to keep the beaches clean by taking rubbish home with them as is the case for any other recreation area.

Visions of the Future << From Page 1 During a speech at the ceremony, Mr G Yunupingu asked Mr Rudd if he would bring up in the meeting what there would be “for us to look forward to”. “We have looked forward to land-rights giving us something. “At least it gave us something in its name. “The land-rights is for the Aboriginal people. “But the land ownership and

the use of land-ownership is not for Aborigines - it’s for mining companies.” Others visions raised on the day included the need for constitutional recognition of Indigenous peoples. Son of one of the original Bark Petition signatories, Bakamumu Marika, said on the day that, “we must take this legacy and move with it further, and see if Australia can recognise the Indigenous in the Australian Constitution”.

This hope was reflected during the day, including by Federal Minister for Indigenous Health, Warren Snowdon, who said constitutional recognition was way overdue. “Bakamumu is 100 per cent correct. “There is an absolute desire here and across the country to have Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians recognised in the constitution. “By having the ceremony we’re having here today, it reminds us

all that we have this story and the journey has not finished. “The journey has a long way to go and part of that journey will be recognition in the Australian Constitution.” At the ceremony, Yirrkala students presented Mr Rudd with a larrakitj, painted by artist Naminapu Maymuru-White, containing their messages on paper made from stringybark; a reminder for Australia’s Parliament that the Yolngu voice remains strong fifty years on.

World gets a glimpse of sacred history

FOR the first time in history, some of the country’s most-sacred artworks, the Yirrkala Church Panels, have been allowed to be photographed. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the bark petitions, media were permitted to snap the two giant panels which are housed in Yirrkala Arts Centre - but only with someone standing in frame. Federal and Territory politicians stood in front of the panels, alongside 1963 bark petition signatories and an artist who worked on part of the Church Panels himself; elder Dr Gawirrin Gumana, from Gangan. Within the panels, designs show elements of Yolngu law, language and title deeds. The panels are seen as the genesis of the bark petitions, as they were created

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd formally opened the new wing in Yirrkala Art Centre. THE folks at Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre (Yirrkala Arts Centre) might have found themselves a new customer, if the Prime Minister had brought his wife to town with him. While in the region, Kevin Rudd visited the centre to formally open the Djotarra Wing, the new gallery space which was completed in March this year. He spoke of his love of Aboriginal art.

“I honour this tradition, I love this tradition, my wife Therese trebly loves this tradition. “If you see the number of paintings that she has bought and are at our place in Brisbane.” Mr Rudd said the beautiful thing about the gallery was its authenticity. “It represents the heart and soul of local people, expressed through their art. “When I have travelled around the

world either as foreign minister or as prime minister, one of the first things that is said to me by other prime ministers and presidents and foreign ministers is this; ‘I have just seen an exhibition or a film about Aboriginal art’. And it blows their socks off.” He said indigenous art of the region has an enormous part to play in how we, Australia, project ourselves into the world of the 21st century.

POWER OUTAGE Date Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Time 0830 – 1630 Areas affected: Sub 1 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd with Galarrwuy Yunupingu in Yirrkala last week.

A life of action awarded AUSTRALIAN of the year in 1978, Galarrwuy Yunupingu has never been one to take things lying down. The Gumatj clan leader has now been recognised for his life’s work with the 2013 NAIDOC Lifetime Achievement Award, presented at the NAIDOC Awards in Perth last Friday. Minister for Indigenous Affairs Jenny Macklin presented the award to a representative for Galarrwuy. The NAIDOC Committee wrote in a media release that Galarrwuy was chosen due to his work as a prominent national leader who has the respect and admiration of many Australians including political leaders.

“Galarrwuy continues to lead his people with understanding and wisdom. “He has been and continues to be a strong voice for the Yolgnu people of Arnhem land.” Galarrwuy used that strong voice during the Bark Petitions ceremony last week, where he said the landrights offered to Aboriginal people were “full of nothing”. “This land-rights is empty. “It’s full of everything, but it’s full of nothing. “I’ll let you have a close think about that; land-rights sounds great. “But when you have a look at it, closely, there’s nothing that it gives to individuals.”

Galarrwuy first came to national attention in the late 1960s for his role in the landmark Gove Land Rights Case. For many years, he held an executive position on the Northern Land Council where he helped Aboriginal people win back and take control of their land. To this day, he continues his advocacy for self-determination and economic development among his people. Leader of the Gumatj Clan since 1979, Galarruwy has been honoured as Australian of the Year, Member of the Order of Australia, and has been named as one of Australia’s National Living Treasures.

Two years until referendum: PM INDIGENOUS rights have improved greatly in 50 years, but there are still big boulders to move. Speakers at the Bark Petitions ceremony agreed there needs to be constitutional recognition for Australia’s first peoples, and soon. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said a referendum to change the country’s constitution to include indigenous people should be held within two years of the next term of government. “I want to see this matter brought to the people of Australia by referendum within two years of the election of the next parliament.” He said constitutional change must be part of a journey that makes all Australians proud. “Proud of our Indigenous brothers and sisters, proud that you were the first inhabitants of this land, and proud and grateful that we share this continent with you, this vast continent called Australia.” The road to recognition must be a path we tread together, he said. “As Prime Minister of Australia, I know many of you are becoming fed

Political forces rally behind Dhimurru FEDERAL and Territory political forces are calling on the Northern Territory Government to reverse their decision to cut funding for a ranger position at Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation. In May, both the Minister for Parks and Wildlife Matt Conlan and the Chief Minister announced that funding for the position of Parks and Wildlife ranger John ‘Stretch’ Papple would be substantially reduced. This meant the embedded position would

be lost, and the services would instead be delivered remotely. Federal Minister Jenny Macklin said last week that this was a very disappointing decision from the Northern Territory Government. “It is bad for employment, bad for training opportunities and bad for the environment. “I’m calling on Adam Giles to listen to local people and reverse this bad decision.” The position was slated to be axed by June 30, when

Petition launched to save Ranger the government funding stopped. Since then, the Parks and Wildlife Commission has offered to keep the position alive, but only if the needed funding can be found from different sources. Dhimurru have man-

aged to stump up the funds to keep Mr Papple’s position afloat until the end of the calendar year, but what happens after that remains up in the air. Dhimurru Chief Executive Officer Steve Roeger said the corporation will be putting in $45,000 towards the costs of maintaining the position. “We’ve also put together a submission to the RJCP Community Development Grants, and we’re hoping that might deliver in the medium-term. “In the meantime, Dhimurru is reviewing the terms of its agreement with the Northern Territory Government for the delivery of services, and plans to discuss those matters with its advisory group.” Labor Member for Nhulunbuy Lynne Walker

has launched a petition which she plans to take to the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory. The petition states: “The only NT Parks and Wildlife Ranger position on the Gove Peninsula is vital in supporting the interests of caring for country training and employment programs for Yolngu rangers, while also providing a critical public service with wildlife management including crocodile management”. Ms Macklin reiterated this, saying it was a really important job and a big support to the Working on Country rangers funded by the Australian Government. The petition will be available to be signed at locations around town including the surf club and Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited.

A spin on the situation by Gove’s Sultan of Satire, Gil Avila.

Solution to Gove’s teething problem AFTER a couple of months without a private dentist in town, it looks as if the government could soon be ready to fill the hole. Correspondence between local MLA Lynne Walker and NT Health Minister Robyn Lambley has revealed the Department of Health is involved in negotiations with a potential new dentist. “The offer would include the same subsidies as received by Dr Patel (the former dentist),” Ms Lambley wrote. “I understand that negotiation of assistance for accommodation is occurring between Pacific Aluminium and the interested party.” Until a new dental service for Nhulunbuy is finalised, Ms Lambley said the public dentist located in town would be happy to assist with emergencies for private patients requiring dental treatment. Dr Anand Patel left Nhulunbuy in May, after completing a 12-month contract with the NT Government, which subsidised his flights to and from Darwin. Dr Patel left the position due to personal reasons.

THREE women, aged 29, 34 and 44, have been charged with drug offences following the seizure of over 500 grams of cannabis in Alyangula. Senior Sergeant Tony Deutrom said police attended Groote Eylandt airport at around 5pm on Tuesday, July 9, to conduct routine screenings of passengers. “Police located and seized 13 parcels of cannabis concealed underneath the women’s clothing, totalling 546g.” Two of the women were arrested and charged with possessing a trafficable quantity of cannabis and supplying a dangerous drug into the community. They will appear in Alyangula Court on August 21. A third woman has also been summonsed to appear in Alyangula court on August 21. “Police estimate the value of cannabis could have fetched $56,000 if sold in remote communities,” Snr Sgt Deutrom said. “The whole of the community is affected by illicit substances, and it is a real shame some individuals continue to seek personal gain from the distress caused by these substances.” He said local police have built-up a strong intelligence network and will continue to target those that supply and traffic illicit substances into the communities.

Man stabbed with vodka bottle A 32-year-old man has been remanded in custody after allegedly stabbing a 28-year-old man with a smashed vodka bottle in Nhulunbuy on July 11. The incident occurred after a fight erupted at Gove House, between a group of intoxicated men. A group of six had been drinking when the argument broke out, and the alleged offender picked up a vodka bottle, broke it, and attacked the victim with the shards. The victim was allegedly stabbed a number of times, resulting in him needing five stitches. The alleged offender has been charged with assault on a person who suffered harm, and with recklessly endangering causing serious harm. The Nhulunbuy resident will face court on August 7.

Steady flow of drink-drivers A 43-year-old woman from Barunga on her way to attend NAIDOC Week celebrations in Yirrkala is among four offenders charged with drink-driving in recent days. Nhulunbuy Police have said of late there has been a steady flow of drink-drivers continuing to disregard Northern Territory traffic laws. “And they continue to disrespect the Gove community by placing others in danger through their selfish acts,” said Nhulunbuy Officer-in-Charge Brendan Muldoon. A 59-year-old man from Ski Beach, a 29-year-old woman from Yirrkala and a 54-year-old man from Nhulunbuy were also charged with recent drink-driving offences.

Frenchmen bid adieu to Gove AFTER a couple of weeks out on the edge of the highway trying to hitch a ride to Katherine, a pair of travelling Frenchmen have bid adieu to Gove - by plane. The Frenchmen, Jerome and Raysun, had been stuck in Gove since June 15, after the rudder on their yacht was shattered on a trip across the Pacific. The pair were travelling on a low budget, and had thought hitch-hiking would be their only way out of town.

That is until Gumatj Corporation Chief Executive Officer Klaus Helms took pity on the pair, and offered them a few days volunteer work in exchange for airfares. “We couldn’t have them just sitting out on the road like that,” Mr Helms laughed. The pair got to work helping with labour at the Garma site, preparing for the festival in August. They’ve since flown out, and are believed to be bound for Bangkok.

Tilly escaped from our yard sometime before 4pm that day. I went home from work early, knowing that I needed to prepare her for Territory Day celebrations, a time that scares the wits out of most animals. Unfortunately something, most probably fireworks let off earlier in the day, freaked her out and Tilly escaped from our yard. She has not done this since I raised the fence heights a couple of months ago. Being a Kelpie, Tilly no doubt ran like the wind, scared of the noise that haunted her. Anyone who knew her knows how fast she can run! I spent much of that week looking for her - driving around town, and on the bush tracks around

THE NAIDOC celebrations in Yirrkala last week, marking the signing of the bark petitions 50 years ago, was one of those events I will remember for a long time. An important part of the nation’s history, with three of the petitioners still present, senior clan leaders and the Prime Minister flanked by politicians of different persuasions. In 1963, claims of traditional owners articulating their rightful ownership over lands and their strong desire to stop

bauxite mining were not acknowledged. How times have changed; we’re now in an era where because of the bark petitions which sparked a national protest, the recognition of native title and recognition of the rights of indigenous people are now in place. However, it’s still less than an ideal world, as highlighted by Galarrwuy Yunupingu in his address in Yirrkala, raising the issue of land rights and the extent to which indigenous people receive the benefits

weeks, in the bid for just two seats in the house of representatives and two in the senate. Feedback on my travels indicates that indigenous voters are feeling a little betrayed by the many promises of the CLP, to “get rid of the shires”, “fix the bush”, and deliver on the catch phrase “jobs, jobs, jobs”. And nothing delivered so far on extra funding for homelands housing repairs. I’m in Katherine and Darwin this week with meetings planned around

town calling out her name, but with no response. She was reported to NCL on Friday that week and I buried her that afternoon. Note, I am not calling for the banning of fireworks, this is one of the special things that makes the Territory what it is. What I ask is that people out there think about their actions. What joy do you get from letting off fireworks in the day that are designed to be enjoyed at night? We have defined times for fireworks; this allows pet owners to take the necessary precautions so we can minimise their anxiety and discomfort. Hopefully, these inconsiderate few will think about the consequences of their action in the future and next year other families can avoid the heartbreak our family continues to suffer. Thank you to the community of Nhulunbuy and surrounds for the help and support in finding Tilly. Although it wasn’t the outcome we had hoped

Timmy Ganambarr with PM Rudd at Dr Yunupingu’s memorial.

A COUPLE of years ago, a photo of dancer Timmy Ganambarr went viral online, of him dancing for former Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Timmy danced with the PM at the official signing of a 42-year mining agreement between traditional owners and Rio Tinto Alcan at Yirrkala, in June, 2011. Now Timmy’s done it again; managed to get himself in the frame with yet another PM, this time Kevin Rudd. The pair crossed paths at the memorial for Dr Yunupingu, as well as at the anniversary celebrations for the bark petitions. The Arafura Times wonders who will be next - if Opposition leader Tony Abbott visits the region for Garma Festival, no doubt Timmy will be there too.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin? DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ...................................People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW ............................................People aged 0-64 South Australia ......................................................... Children aged 0-14 Tasmania .......................................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT .............................................................................................People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ....................................................People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

Yolngu culture kept strong through song

“WE are the new generation,” proclaimed a proud Rrawun Maymuru, lead singer of East Journey, before the band leapt into an electrifying version of Yothu Yindi’s Mainstream in Yirrkala last Wednesday. This was just one of many powerful moments during a concert celebrating an anniversary of Yolngu achievement; showcasing just how alive and blazing their culture remains today. Kicking off the evening, the talented Arafura Dancers hit the stage, followed by the NEAL Boys, around 6pm, who played an energised set of rock tunes splashed with traditional music. Next up came East Journey; the eight-piece band of rising stars, becoming well-known for their exciting mix of dance, range of instruments and wellcrafted songs. They performed some of their favourites, including Song of Arnhem Land, Gumik and Emu. Dancers like the talented Bowie Burrarrwanga stunned the crowd with mesmerising moves, including during Emu, where they performed the dance of the Manggalili clan totem. Manager Susan Sandery said seeing such a big audience was incredible. “It was a great atmosphere at Rika Park, well done to the organisers Rosie Pearson, Will Stubbs, and to everyone who got behind and supported this event, it was a great achievement.” One of the emotional highlights of the

set was when Mr Maymuru dedicated a song to the late great Dr Yunupingu, saying, “When I was growing up, this music was in my mind, in my blood”. As they left the stage, the crowd cheered, wanting more. After the passion of East Journey came a dance number, performed by up-andcoming local dancers, the Yirrkala Girls. Then came the subdued but angelic sounds of Gurrumul. Gurrumul, accompanied by band member and classical guitarist Francis Diatschenko, played a set of his songs including the popular Bapa, to an appreciative audience. At the end of the show he was joined onstage by Mr Maymuru, to perform Bayini; the song written by the East Journey singer, which recently hit number one on the Australian Artists ARIA singles chart after it was performed on television show The Voice by Gurrumul and Delta Goodrem. The end of the song was met by a lasting cheer from the crowd, and a feeling of peace and unity in the air. Gurrumul and East Journey now get ready to head back to the studio, where they will record together, a new version of the East Journey track, Ngarrpiya. They will both be playing at the National Indigenous Music Awards on August 10 in Darwin, performing songs by Yothu Yindi in tribute to the band’s career.

Putting all the pieces together KIDS of the region spent part of their school holidays livening up the Town Hall, piece by piece. A mosaic of a huge crocodile now lies in waiting on the wall of Nhulunbuy Town Hall’s foyer, after it was put together from July 8 to 11. The design has been adapted from an artwork donated by the Yirrkala Arts Centre, to be used as a blueprint for the project. Coinciding with NAIDOC Week, the Mosaic Art Workshop got around 60 local kids involved in putting together the giant Yolngu-influenced artwork. Prominent mosaic artist Brett Campbell, who hails from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, was in town to help deliver the finished product, and teach the kids a bit about the fine art of mosaic-making. “Kids learn about patience, colour, cooperation and a little bit of installation. “Patience and persistence are the two key ingredients.” Mr Campbell, a former bank manager, has said creating mosaic art is like meditation. “You’re so fully engaged at both a creative and practical level - that the big worries and little stresses of your life seem to melt away.” He was putting the finishing touches on the artwork over last weekend, with the finished product now able to be viewed. The Mosaic Art Workshop was organised and hosted by Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited. Check out more of Brett Campbell’s work at mosaics.com.au.

Weeding out plant-life problems

BEFORE - Crocodile Islands Ranger Leonard Bowaynu. WEEDS are the scourge of our natural plant-life in north-east Arnhem Land - that’s why ranger groups are doing all they can to stomp them out. Feral para grass which was smothering one of remote Crocodile Island community Milingimbi’s only billabongs was recently eradicated by local rangers. Tom Price, from the Government’s Weeds Management Branch, visited Milingimbi recently to work with the ranger group and conduct a series of weed surveys on the island. “With a combination of chemical control and well-timed prescribed burning, the Crocodile Islands Rangers have been able to make a huge impact in reducing the grass choking the billabong. “The rangers have developed some innovative strategies to help eradicate weeds on the islands, including a series of posters and signs in the local Indigenous language which have been put up around the community to educate public about weeds and weed hygiene.” The Department of Land Resource Management’s Weeds Management Branch

has been partnered with Crocodile Islands Rangers in the fight against invasive weeds for two years. “The aim of the partnership is to share our techniques with the local people so that they can adapt them into their land management practices.” The Milingimbi-based ranger group started up three years ago. Senior Traditional Owner Laurie Baymarrwangga donated $400,000 of her own money to establish the Crocodile Islands Rangers, to invest in the livelihoods of future generations and promote practical projects on her sea country. In three years, with dedicated staff and support from Traditional Owners, the rangers have been able to develop a successful ranger program that blends traditional Yan-nhangu ecological knowledge and modern land management systems. The ranger program is supported by many partnerships such as this one, and now also receives funding from the Government’s Working on Country program to continue its valuable work.

GOVE PENINSULA SURF CLUB EQUIPMENT SHED OPENING

A new era for Gove’s surf club (and a homecoming for Pete)

EIGHTEEN months ago, fire ripped through Gove Peninsula Surf Club’s equipment shed. The blaze destroyed thousands of dollars worth of equipment, and nearly cost the lives of their muchloved caretaker, Pete Richards, and his dog, Bluey. Last Sunday, the new surf club shed was officially opened, and surf club members got a to have a good look at Pete’s new home, which is connected to the building. Pete, who escaped the fire only after being woken at the last minute by his loyal Bluey, said the community support put into his new home had been unbelievable. “We were lucky to get out with our lives. “All I got out of there with was the undies I was

wearing. “Now look at this, today; the community have donated so much gear, and for nothing. “This community is just amazing at coming together and supporting people.” Surf Club Vice President Chris Moorfoot said in a speech that the new shed would provide the club with a strong base to expand and thrive well into the next forty years. “This building is a labour of love for many of our great committee members over a long period of time. “And I’m sure for some, this day couldn’t come soon enough.” Mr Moorfoot said that, while the blaze in February last year had been a tragic event, it had ended with positive consequences. “As we stand here, united as a club, I think most people can see that it was far from a tragedy, and the club has never looked so fantastic.” Surf Life Saving Australia’s President Graham Ford, who was in town to attend the opening, said what struck him about Gove’s surf club was the strong sense of community. “This has been the result of a fantastic effort from all the groups that were involved. “It just shows the strength of this community.” Many organisations and individuals were thanked at the occasion, with a special mention going to the hero of last year’s blaze, Bluey. “Who despite the upheaval, noise and infiltration of many work people over the time of construction was able to give birth to WELCOME HOME, PETE: Caretaker Peter Richards in the a small litter of pups,” said Mr Moorfoot. doorway of his new abode. “So thank you for your patience, I’m

seaside markets, rikA park SET against the picturesque backdrop of the Arafura Sea, locals from Yirrkala and Nhulunbuy strolled the seaside markets that were put on for the 50th Anniversary of the Bark Petitions. Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited organised the market and food stalls on the afternoon, and have hailed it as a complete success.

PHOTOS: MATT GARRICK An organiser from the corporation said most stalls nearly sold-out of food and goods, and all the stall-holders were stoked with how it went. Food on the day included the Yirrkala Community Church’s yummy trifle, East Arnhem Rugby Union’s barbecue, yiros from Three C’s Café crew, traditional Yolngu damper and much more.
