First Australians - Resistance

of British colonists in 1788. Lives were lost

impose new social, economic and religious
orders. ... "
"Indigenous people responded in a variety of ways.
Some fought back with weapons. Others
developed different strategies to survive this
new and hostile presence."
"Here we present four of these stories."

Indigenous Media: Why one size doesn’t fit all
Presented by: Daniel Featherstone
CAEPR Seminar
Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research
Australian National University

What’s really going on?
An update on NT Intervention
with Jeff McMullen and Graeme Mundine
"Our guest speakers will give an update on the
NT Intervention, as it is still going on via
Stronger Futures, and will do so for at
least another nine and a half years."
"Special presentation of the book,
"A Decision to Discriminate:
Aboriginal Disempowerment in the Northern Territory",
which will be on sale. The message in this
book is highly important and vital."
"This new book is an important historical record
that focuses on the Senate Committee Inquiry
into the Stronger Futures legislation. It shows
how the Government decision-making process
chose to ignore the views and ideas expressed
by many Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory
communities in much the same way as has
happened since colonisation."

The value of qualitative data for articulating
the social impacts of native title
Presented by: Pam McGrath
CAEPR Seminar
Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research
Australian National University
"I argue that although qualitative research on its own
has limited strategic value given the short
timeframes of many legal reform agendas,
when conducted over time as part of a longer-term
strategic partnership with native title organisations,
qualitative data can provide crucial insights into
social experience that have the potential to shift
entrenched assumptions of policy makers."

Canberra fantasies, remote Indigenous subjects
and whites in Alice Springs: An anthropological view
Presented by: Åse Ottosson
CAEPR Seminar
Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research
Australian National University
"Regional service towns like Alice Springs are
important but often overlooked urban settings
for research on the transformation and reorganisation
of relations among Indigenous and non-Indigenous
people from a rich diversity of backgrounds."
"Drawing on twelve years of ongoing residence,
anthropological research and work in Central Australia,
I will discuss how this makes towns like Alice Springs
rich, but also tricky, environments for policy-relevant
ethnographic research."

Play: Mother Courage and Her Children

Wesley Enoch and Paula Nazarski in a
dazzling new translation."
"With an all-Indigenous cast, this fresh spin on
Brecht's play delicately folds in themes of
land ownership, the impact of mining
and the stolen generation."

"In 1987, Paddy Roe initiated the Lurujarri Heritage
Trail as a trigger to encourage the members of the
Goolarabooloo community to be walking the Country
again, as had always been done; to conserve;
renew and stay connected with their heritage and
traditional skills and to keep the same alive for
generations to come. He also sought to wake up
non-Aboriginal people to a relationship with the land;
to foster trust; friendship and empathy between the
indigenous community and the wider Australian
and International communities."
