Untitled Document 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. 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. The small, six hectare Reserve protects rock engravings or petroglyphs which are a valuable link to the activities of early Arrernte Aboriginal people. www.northernterritory.com /northernterritory/attractions/Ewaninga_Rock.htm   (394 words)

Alice Springs - Aboriginal Culture Arrernte people continue to live in Mparntwe, observe that law, look after the country and teach children the Arrernte language and the importance of culture. 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. 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. www.alicesprings.nt.gov.au /about_alice/aboriginal.asp   (1673 words)

ALN #50: Kimber: Australian Aboriginals' perceptions of their desert homelands 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. 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. ag.arizona.edu /OALS/ALN/aln50/kimberpart2.html   (2581 words)

Oceania: Whose ethics? Which cultural contract? Imagining Arrernte traditions today An example is drawn from the Lutheran tradition of Western Arrernte people in Central Australia. 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). Therefore these local traditions must be taken into account in discussions about 'contracts' or 'policies' concerning Aboriginal people today. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3654/is_200103/ai_n8944242   (1151 words)

AIATSIS - Arrernte Bibliography 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. www.aiatsis.gov.au /lbry/fct_shts/biblio_arrrnt.htm   (3224 words)

Beyond the Eclipse 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. 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. www.flexiblelearning.net.au /nw2000/talkback/p92.htm   (1580 words)

C:\PROGRAM FILES\SOFTQUAD\HOTMETAL PRO\gifs\p2wp0000.htm Theresults show that the closer one approaches the source the less one finds to be the contribution of Arrernte people and the more the influence of the academics who collected, edited, and reused (time and again) this material. The intent is to track this Arrernte example to its source, specific Arrernten individuals, to establish its accuracy and legitimacy. The entry point for the following storytracking effort is the Arrernten account of creation entitled "Numbakulla and the Sacred Pole" as found in Mircea Eliade's Australian Religions: An Introduction (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1967), pp. www.colorado.edu /ReligiousStudies/gill/Storytracking/p2new.htm   (2844 words)

History On-Line This paper argues that the interaction between Lutheran missionaries and Arrernte people at Hermannsburg mission was shaped by different body practices and discourses. Lutherans attempted to reinforce an individualistic notion of the body, while Arrernte people continued to believe in the fundamental interconnectedness of the person with ancestors and kin. The mission became an isolated domestic economy, a context that allowed the Arrernte to interpret its teachings in terms of a “law.” This Christian law was often referred to as pepe, the Western Arrernte word for “paper.” It involved a particular rendering of literacy and rested on a highly localized order. www.history.ac.uk /ihr/Resources/Books/00224227.html   (10564 words)

CLC Our Land 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. 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. 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. clc.org.au /ourland/native_title/Arrernte/arrernte_native_title2.asp   (1264 words)

Hermannsburg School 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. 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 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. www.hermannsburgschool.com /?cdream   (1675 words)

Royal Australian Navy To maintain the warm and special bond between HMAS ARUNTA and the Arrernte people the Arrernte Council presented HMAS ARUNTA with a flag displaying a Perrente lizard. 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. Arrernte is known as a nation in itself to Aboriginal communities of Central Australia. www.navy.gov.au /ships/arunta   (459 words)

Alice Springs News, May 16, 2001 Arrernte traditional owner Max Stuart can remember a time, when he was a boy around 11 and 12 years of age, when Arrernte people were united, and came together "as one big family". 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. www.alicespringsnews.com.au /0815.html   (5003 words)

Many Nations-One People : Program 1 In this episode we travelled to Alice Springs and met two Arrernte people who provided us with some insight into their family system. 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. www.abc.net.au /schoolstv/nations/ep1.htm   (351 words)

Alice Springs - History Arrernte people continue to live in Mparntwe, observe traditional Law, look after the country, and teach children the Arrernte language and the importance of their culture. Mparntwe (pronounced mbarn-twa) is the Arrernte word for Alice Springs and was created by the actions of several ancestral figures including the caterpillar beings Ayepe-arenye, Ntyarlke and Utnerrengatye, the MacDonnell Ranges being but one of their creations. In 1862 explorer John McDouall Stuart led an expedition (his third and final attempt) through the Centre, to the north coast, navigating and mapping the country for white settlement. www.alicesprings.nt.gov.au /about_alice/history.asp   (478 words)

Burke's Backyard Archives 2004 - Alice Springs Don met with Aboriginal Elder, MK Turner, an Alice Springs local and great-grandmother who is a member of the Arrernte People. MK also teaches the Arrernte language to adult members of the community outside of the school. It was used as an important storage site for ceremonial objects, and was probably used as a corroboree site or a site where important ceremonial activities were carried out. www.burkesbackyard.com.au /2004/archives/2004/people_and_places/alice_springs?mysource_site_extension=printer_friendly_pages   (751 words)

spokenword Christobel Swann grew up on a station with people from many different language groups, so she speaks Pijantjatjara, Western Arrernte, Eastern Arrernte, Luritja and English, and she is by no means exceptional. The youngest Aboriginal linguist at IAD is Joyce, a seventeen year old Eastern Arrernte speaker who comes from Santa Teresa Mission, West of Alice Springs, where the Catholic Church has established a bilingual school. Local Aboriginal children are first taught in their own language, Arrernte, and are then taught English as their second language. www.bri.net.au /spokenword.html   (1453 words)

Aboriginal Languages of Australia Arrernte people live in Central Australia, their area including Alice Springs and the East MacDonnell Ranges. Arrernte woman Marjorie Petrick is pioneering the use of Braille to read and write the Arrernte language, supported by the Centre for Australian Languages and Linguistics unit at Batchelor Institute. She gives a personal and community perspective on the state of languages, especially her own, southern Arrernte. www.dnathan.com /VL/eMUstate_NT.htm   (1882 words)

Country in Flames: Fire in the Desert The Arrernte people, for example, have important sacred sites where lots of Dreamings meet up with each other. As a kid I was brought up by Arrernte women and I had Arrernte playmates and I learnt about fire. So, any of the good Arrernte burners were shot out of existence and so there's really no good Arrernte burners left. www.deh.gov.au /biodiversity/publications/series/paper3/fire16.html   (2901 words)

Amazon.com: Broken Song: T.G.H. Strehlow and Aboriginal Possession: Books: Barry Hill Strehlow was a son of the red centre (to borrow an expression from another son & author/pioneer, Kurt Johansson) & nurtured by the local Arrernte people, indeed raised with Arrernte & German(the language of his missionary, Lutheran parents)as his first language. Strehlow's book 'Songs of Central Australia', is a curious amalgam of Arrernte lyrics recast, perhaps, in some northern European, epic mode. Chatwin's writing was not based so much on any primary experience as it was on the work of Ted Strehlow, the subject of Barry Hill's terrific and readable opus. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1740510658?v=glance   (451 words)
