		The Arrernte who survived and remained were subject to oppressive Government policies and laws that established prohibited areas and reserves, and imposed intrusive regulation on many aspects of Aboriginal life, including the enforced separation of families and the removal of children from their parents.
		Arrernte culture and identity is the essence of the landscape and the community in Alice Springs, and its resilience and strength has ensured, for the most part, that the integrity of the cultural landscape of Alice Springs has not been destroyed.
		Arrernte people continue to use the land in a variety of ways, including for residential and recreational purposes, to collect bush tucker, bush medicine and ochres for ceremony, and to conduct important traditional ceremonies.

		Observing Arrernte speakers who gesture at arm’s length, De Ruiter and Wilkins hypothesized that the preparation of their gestures should take longer than usual, and that the co-expressive speech should be delayed to the same degree as the gesture to maintain synchrony between the two if their production processes are interactive.
		The key fact is that Arrernte speakers, unlike non-Arrernte speakers, perform gestures at arm’s length; such gestures, performed at the outer limit of the gesture space, require a longer preparation phase.
		On the contrary, they would reveal the very opposite of modularity—a continuing on-line process by Arrernte speakers of controlling the relationship between speech and gesture, in which the gesture is aimed to occur at the moment that the semantically co-expressive speech ends.

		De Ruiter and Wilkins investigated the assumption that the synchronization between gesture and speech is a cross-cultural universal, as is implicitly assumed in most of the literature on synchronization.
		In Arrernte, the location of the target on one or other side of the body dictates which hand is used.
		Both for the Dutch and the Arrernte data, the temporal correlation between gesture and speech was significantly higher for the supportive gestures.

		Frazer's interest in small-scale societies was fired by his belief that they would offer clues to the evolution of social life; Spencer and Gillen were therefore primed to look for traces of the original social organisation from which later and more complex forms derived.
		For we are told that even an exceptionally strong man, if he has taken to wife a woman who is forbidden to him, will avoid the encampments until he has demonstrated that he is strong and clever enough to keep his enemies at bay.
		And yet when the Arrernte vengeance party came upon the Iliaura camp, as we have seen, two men were said to be Iturka.

		As a consequence of the Arrernte peoples' revealing of their Caterpillar Dreamings at the Festival we might expect greater significance being given to sacred landscapes and a better understanding of the cultural and spiritual values of the land.
		The Yeperenye, Utnerrengatye and Ntyarlke caterpillars were the major creative forces for the Alice Springs area and are among the most sacred and important of all Arrernte totems.
		While the beauty and diversity of Yeperenye, Utnerrengatye and Ntyarlke mere caterpillars are overlooked by most Australians, the creation stories of the Arrernte people abound with drama, beauty, humour and ecological facts.

		The Arrernte region based around Alice Springs is large, and traditionally there have been many different aboriginal groups within it; each with their own language dialect.
		Arrernte is known as a nation in itself to Aboriginal communities of Central Australia.
		The Arrernte region itself is large and diverse and covers an area from Tea Tree to the north of Alice Springs, west to the WA border, east to the Queensland border and south to Uluru.

		Through the valuing of social behaviour as a distinct aspect of 'culture' the process of social reform could be seen primarily as one of cultural maintenance and development by encouraging culturally appropriate behaviour, and drawing upon traditional Aboriginal concepts for application to contemporary problems.
		Totemic geography was also used by Arrernte leaders as one device for locating the various language groups in Town Camps as they were consolidated and developed in the early and mid-1970s.

	ALN #50: Kimber: Australian Aboriginals' perceptions of their desert homelands
		Thus, in the terrible drought year, 1929, when hundreds of starving people left their home countries to migrate—sometimes hundreds of kilometers and, as Dinny Tjapaljarri put it, "like perishing bullocks to a water-trough"—into the sanctuary of Hermannsburg Mission, it was not the drought but the good times that were recalled.
		Representatives of all of the Aboriginal nations came together in thousands, in the largest gathering of Aboriginal peoples ever recorded, and other Australians were welcome to share in the spectacle of the wonderful dancing, moving "coming together" ceremony, and concert.
		Arrernte elders and the traditional owners connected to the Yeperenye Dreaming are traditionally the landlords (Kwetengurles), and the traditional owners (Apereke-atweye) of this land are the Kngwarrayes and the Peltharre people.

		Arrernte country is rich with mountain ranges, waterholes, and gorges; as a result the Arrernte people set aside 'conservation areas' in which various species are protected.
		Arrernte people maintain a strong presence in Alice Springs, and have formed the Arrernte Council of Central Australia, as well playing a major role in the Aboriginal organisations in Alice Springs.
		There are roughly 1800 speakers of Eastern and Central Arrernte, making it the largest spoken language in the Arandic family, and one of the largest speaking populations of any Australian language.

		The small, six hectare Reserve protects rock engravings or petroglyphs which are a valuable link to the activities of early Arrernte Aboriginal people.
		Much of the meaning of the petroglyphs, according to the senior Arrernte custodians, is sacred and too dangerous to reveal to people not initiated into Aboriginal law.
		Arrernte custodians are happy for people to visit the site but ask that they don't climb over the rocks, touch or interfere with the petroglyphs in any way.

		Mr Liddle says too often Arrernte traditional owners are not heard, because of the changes brought about in their country by the growth of Alice Springs.
		On the eve of the current town council's first birthday the dump management is set to go back to private enterprise, playgrounds still don't have adequate shade, nor does the CBD have appropriate public toilets.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		On the subclassifcation and semantics of motion verbs in Arrernte David P. Wilkins Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen This paper explores the morphosynactic and semantic properties of motion verbs in Eastern Arrernte (more particularly the Mparntwe and Eastern varieties of Eastern Arrernte spoken by current residents of Alice Springs).
		For the purposes of this exploration, I identify as "motion verbs" all those verbs which can occur in a clause with both an Ablative case-marked Ground and an Allative case-marked Ground, and which entail that the subject of the clause changes location from the 'vicinity' of one Ground to the 'vicinity' of the other.
		Of some interest is the fact that Arrernte has an extremely restricted number of manner of motion verbs, and, textually, manner of motion is rarely explicitly mentioned (or is left underspecified).

		Her first language is Arrernte, an Australian Aboriginal language, but she also acquired English from later in childhood.
		It appears that, when she has time to plan, she will construct grammatical utterances, but once she is in the rapid interchange of conversation she relies, perhaps strategically, on agrammatic utterances.
		Thus, when, for example, she says 'breads white two', for 'two (loaves of) white bread' ('two white breads') she is reproducing the standard Arrernte ordering of the NP merne mperlkere therre ('bread white two').

		Central Australian shields primarily served as defensive weapons against spears and boomerangs, however the Arrernte, Warlpiri and Luritja specially valued them as their principal means for obtaining fire.
		Placing the shield face down and holding it steady with their feet, two squatting men would rub the shield in a rapid sawing movement using the bladed edge of a spear-thrower.
		The Arrernte also believed that shields carried powers of divination and by ringing hollow, forewarned the bearers that death was close at hand.

	Oceania: Whose ethics? Which cultural contract? Imagining Arrernte traditions today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		An example is drawn from the Lutheran tradition of Western Arrernte people in Central Australia.
		If a contract involves at least two components, an agreement and a mode of enforcing based in law, then this discussion is concerned with modes of agreement and not with judicial process as such.
		In Central Australia, Western Arrernte negotiations with Christianity have been no less dramatic and include not only the revealing of sacra but also the inscribing of Christianity on country in the form of an impatye Jesuake or Jesus' footstep, to be found in the vicinity of Hermannsburg (see Jones 1992; Austin-Broos 1993, 1996b).

		These skin groups do not have anything to do with the colour of ones skin- it is simply a way of grouping members of the family to ensure that the people marry into the right group.
		The separation of Aboriginal children from their families contributed greatly to the breakdown of the traditional family and kinship structure and now days many young Arrernte kids do not have a good understanding of the complex system.

		The Central Arrernte people are the traditional owners of Alice Springs but since the town is the regional hub of Central Australia it attracts Aboriginal people from all over that region and well beyond.
		Aboriginal residents live in the suburbs, on special purpose leases (or town camps) or further out at Amoonguna to the South and on the small family outstation communities on Aboriginal Lands in surrounding areas.
		A famous Arrernte artist, he became well known through his watercolour paintings of the landscape, especially that of his homelands in the Western MacDonnell Ranges.

		The text document would need to be changed for it to be read in Arrernte, and then would no longer be of use as a document in English.
		Further, asking people how they would like to utilize new technologies, through the means of a text based form they cannot read, in a language they cannot understand may not open up the required communication bridges.
		However, asking people how they would like to utilize new technologies, through means that also make use of a visual form that is familiar to indigenous speakers, and that can be interpreted in the languages of all parties, inclluding their own, may well strengthen cross-cultural communication.

		Howard has refused to issue a formal apology for past atrocities inflicted on Aborigines, who were massacred in their thousands after Australia was colonised by white settlers from 1788, evicted from ancestral lands and derided by many white Australians.
		Perkins, 64, was born to poverty as an Arrernte Aborigine in an outback camp near Alice Springs, but rose to became Australia's first Aboriginal university graduate and head of the department of Aboriginal affairs.
		"He wanted Australia to embrace our Arrernte heritage and he believed that until then Australia would be a country without a soul," she said.
