Book Synopsis My Country, Mine Country by : Benedict Scambary
Download or read book My Country, Mine Country written by Benedict Scambary and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agreements between the mining industry and Indigenous people are not creating sustainable economic futures for Indigenous people, and this demands consideration of alternate forms of economic engagement in order to realise such futures. Within the context of three mining agreements in north Australia this study considers Indigenous livelihood aspirations and their intersection with sustainable development agendas. The three agreements are the Yandi Land Use Agreement in the Central Pilbara in Western Australia, the Ranger Uranium Mine Agreement in the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory, and the Gulf Communities Agreement in relation to the Century zinc mine in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland. Recent shifts in Indigenous policy in Australia seek to de-emphasise the cultural behaviour or imperatives of Indigenous people in undertaking economic action, in favour of a mainstream conventional approach to economic development. Concepts of value, identity, and community are key elements in the tension between culture and economics that exists in the Indigenous policy environment. Whilst significant diversity exists within the Indigenous polity, Indigenous aspirations for the future typically emphasise a desire for alternate forms of economic engagement that combine elements of the mainstream economy with the maintenance and enhancement of Indigenous institutions and livelihood activities. Such aspirations reflect ongoing and dynamic responses to modernity, and typically concern the interrelated issues of access to and management of country, the maintenance of Indigenous institutions associated with family and kin, access to resources such as cash and vehicles, the establishment of robust representative organisations, and are integrally linked to the derivation of both symbolic and economic value of livelihood pursuits.
Book Synopsis Power, Culture, Economy by : Jon Altman
Download or read book Power, Culture, Economy written by Jon Altman and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research over the past decade in health, employment, life expectancy, child mortality, and household income has confirmed that Indigenous Australians are still Australia's most disadvantaged group. Those residing in communities in regional and remote Australia are further disadvantaged because of the limited formal economic opportunities there. In these areas mining developments may be the major-and sometimes the only-contributors to regional economic development. However Indigenous communities have gained only relatively limited long-term economic development benefits from mining activity on land that they own or over which they have property rights of varying significance. Furthermore, while Indigenous people may place high value on realising particular non-economic benefits from mining agreements, there may be only limited capacity to deliver such benefits. This collection of papers focuses on three large, ongoing mining operations in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory under two statutory regimes-the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 and the Native Title Act 1993. The authors outline the institutional basis to greater industry involvement while describing and analysing the best practice principles that can be utilised both by companies and Indigenous community organisations. The research addresses questions such as: What factors underlie successful investment in community relations and associated agreement governance and benefit packages for Indigenous communities? How are economic and non-economic flows monitored? What are the values and aspirations which Indigenous people may bring to bear in their engagement with mining developments? What more should companies and government do to develop the capacity and sustainability of local Indigenous organisations? What mining company strategies build community capacity to deal with impacts of mining? Are these adequate? How to prepare for sustainable futures for Indigenous Australians after mine closure? This research was conducted under an Australian Research Council Linkage Project, with Rio Tinto and the Committee for Economic Development of Australia as Industry Partners.
Book Synopsis Culture, Ecology and Economy of Fire Management in North Australian Savannas by : Jeremy Russell-Smith
Download or read book Culture, Ecology and Economy of Fire Management in North Australian Savannas written by Jeremy Russell-Smith and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging volume explores the management of fire in one of the world’s most flammable landscapes: Australia’s tropical savannas, where on average 18% of the landscape is burned annually. Impacts have been particularly severe in the Arnhem Land Plateau, a centre of plant and animal diversity on Indigenous land. Culture, Ecology and Economy of Fire Management in North Australian Savannas documents a remarkable collaboration between Arnhem Land’s traditional landowners and the scientific community to arrest a potentially catastrophic fire-driven decline in the natural and cultural assets of the region – not by excluding fire, but by using it better through restoration of Indigenous control over burning. This multi-disciplinary treatment encompasses the history of fire use in the savannas, the post-settlement changes that altered fire patterns, the personal histories of a small number of people who lived most of their lives on the plateau and, critically, their deep knowledge of fire and how to apply it to care for country. Uniquely, it shows how such knowledge and commitment can be deployed in conjunction with rigorous formal scientific analysis, advanced technology, new cross-cultural institutions and the emerging carbon economy to build partnerships for controlling fire at scales that were, until this demonstration, thought beyond effective intervention.
Book Synopsis Social Impact Analysis by : Laurence R. Goldman
Download or read book Social Impact Analysis written by Laurence R. Goldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the nature, purpose and processes associated with social impact analysis. Because resource development projects occur in human as well as ecological environments, stakeholders - landowners, companies and governments - are compelled to ensure that the benefits of any project are maximized while the negative risks are minimized. Achieving such objectives means implementing programs which monitor and evaluate the ongoing effects of a project on the social and cultural lives of the impacted populace. This book aims to provide a teaching and training resource for students, social scientists (anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, environmentalists, engineers, etc.) and indigenous personnel and operators who are tasked with community affairs programs in those countries where resource development projects are implemented. The constituent chapters provide how-to guides and frameworks that are generously illustrated with case studies drawn variously from North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Topics addressed include Legal Frameworks and Compliance Procedures, Social Mapping, Environmental Reports, Social and Economic Impact Studies, Social Monitoring Techniques, Project Development, Statistical Packages and Report Production.This book is unique in so far as it seeks to prioritize application over theory. Moreover, it is the first training resource that is sensitive to non-western indigenes' need to assimilate and apply skills engendered by Western countries.

Book Synopsis Why Warriors Lie Down and Die by : Richard Trudgen
Download or read book Why Warriors Lie Down and Die written by Richard Trudgen and published by Why Warriors Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the true causes of the problems facing First Nations people worldwide. Through the history and perspectives of the Yolngu people of northern Australia, this book brings practical insight into the cross-cultural dynamics and systemic barriers that lead to social breakdown and how to do things better. In Arnhem Land, as in Indigenous communities across Australia, the situation is dire: health is poor, unemployment is rife, and life is short. Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is a unique analysis of this crisis and offers examples of how the people can once again take control of their own lives. Finding the real causes of this crisis requires the reader to look at it from the other side of the cultural and language divide—the side where the people themselves live. The book Why Warriors Lie Down and Die takes us to that side. “Many books have been written about the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land, Australia. This one is very different. It speaks about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine. Please join us on this journey of trying to understand each other.” Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra OAM Powerful storytelling Why Warriors Lie Down and Die uses a blend of critical and exploratory thinking about inter-cultural interactions, a deep understanding of Yolngu culture, personal experience, and powerful story-telling. Universities and grass-roots professionals all over the world continue to use it to better understand First Nation communities. Why Warriors Lie Down and Die, was written by Richard Trudgen in 2000, and has sold over 42,000 copies. Yet it seems as if it was written just yesterday due to its enduring real-life revelations of the cross-cultural dynamics that continue to persist and destroy attempts by the Yolngu, and other peoples like them, to achieve health, prosperity, and peace for their communities. The situation is dire For many Indigenous Australians, health is poor, and they die early in life. Training, schooling, and employment outcomes are dismal, and incarceration rates are the highest in the world. This book offers a very different understanding of this crisis, told from the people’s own experiences. It will take the reader to another side of life—a side that most policymakers and program managers know little about. It reveals hidden mechanisms of failure that underlie these experiences, working unseen in culturally distinct and marginalised communities the world over. By seeing this new perspective, the solutions are visible, so that empowerment and hope is found for the challenges of First Nations peoples. For history Buffs The first 5 chapters cover some of the history of the colonisation of east Arnhem Land, NT, Australia with unique stories from the perspectives of the Yolngu people.
