	Australian Aboriginal Sovereignty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian Aboriginal Sovereignty is a political movement amongst Indigenous Australiansand supported by others in the 20th century, demanding control of parts of Australia by Indigenous peoples.
		In 1972, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy was established on the steps of Parliament House in Canberra, the Australian capital, to demand sovereignty for the Aboriginal peoples.
		Notable proponents of Aboriginal sovereignty included Isabell Coe and Charles Perkins.

	Back to Basics - Aboriginal Sovereignty
		Yet fewer than 10 per cent of Aborigines can successfully claim Native Title, and even then the chances of that small group feeling secure about their rights is undermined by constant threats from governments and corporate interests.
		The agenda was being driven by Aborigines and governments were forced to respond.
		Only deaths in custody was driven by Aboriginal people as a public issue: both reconciliation and the Native Title debate were initiated by government - reconciliation began as an Act of the Commonwealth Parliament, and the Native Title issue has revolved around government dislike for the existence of Native Title.

	The Perverse Perseverance of Sovereignty \| libcom.org
		A sovereignty that no longer possesses the fullness and power of its Westphalian ideal: a bounded territorial realm in which national authority is absolute, which provides a representative and political principle through which states and their people can manage and control the forces that affect their lives.
		The imperial 'sovereignty' exercised by the IMF on behalf of western banks and investors depends on the modern sovereignty of states, which continues to perform a significant channelling, policing and legalising function both of capital and labour.
		The repressive reassertion of sovereignty against the refugee is utterly bound up with the dissolution of sovereignty in neo-liberal economic restructuring, and its insistence on permanent mass unemployment; a perfect way for neo-liberal governments to evade responsibility for the palpable hardship and insecurity experienced by the losers of globalisation.

	Aboriginal genocide in Australia and its solution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Aboriginal genocide had its beginning with Federal Liberal Party member William Wentworth's private members bill to amend the Constitution to remove the prohibition on the commonwealth making "special laws" relating to "the Aboriginal race".
		Land claims, Aboriginal sovereignty and an Aboriginal treaty are spurious concepts dreamed up by the Aboriginal aristocracy to prolong their luxurious lifestyle while drawing huge taxpayer-funded salaries.
		The average lifespan of an Aboriginal male is 56 compared to 76 for the rest of the male population.

	European Network for Indigenous Australian Rights: news
		Aboriginal communities were to be granted only special purpose leases if they could demonstrate adequate economic or social use for them.
		A ramshackle collection of huts, freight containers and tents inhabited by a handful of Aboriginal families and activists, it is one of the most potent and divisive symbols of Aborigines' continuing fight for recognition.
		The ruling confirmed the feelings of many Aborigines that their rights will always be something either granted or taken away by successive white governments; and in contrast to the vagaries of the law courts, the embassy seems more than ever an uncompromising assertion of indigenous claims.

	Aboriginal Sovereignty Day Declared - Wikinews
		Representatives of Australian Aboriginal Sovereign Nations at a gathering in Canberra, have declared that the 26th of January would be known as Aboriginal Sovereignty Day.
		The Aboriginal Embassy, not considered an official embassy by the Australian government, has come under review recently in a bid to remove the campsite and dwellings originally founded on Australia Day in 1972.
		Michael Mansell says, "more importantly, the anthem is about the white people and immigrants and excludes Aborigines." He said the words "for we are young and free" were a clear reference to the last 200 years of colonisation by Europeans and dismissed the ownership of the country by Aboriginal people.

	ARPA: Indigenous Development—Without community, without commerce
		The Aboriginal population at present is an underprivileged, underfed, underpaid, untrained labour force, increasing in numbers and not closely considered.
		The stratum of Aboriginal leaders that either held or were seeking land were now able to gain public funds for economic activities and enterprise development on ‘their land’, and elsewhere.
		By calling for secure tenure (preferably freehold), Aboriginal corporations could potentially use their land assets for collateral in obtaining finance from the private sector, thereby freeing them from public sector scrutiny and welfare obligations (such as the communal distribution of revenue) that necessarily impinge on investment and commercial activities.

	After Mabo,What About Aboriginal Sovereignty?
		1 But when it came to other required attributes of sovereignty, Burton determined that they had not attained "to such a position in point of numbers and civilisations...as to be entitled to be recognised as so many sovereign states governed by laws of their own".
		The principle that the "discovery" of lands inhabited by an indigenous population vests sovereignty in the "discovering" nation is based on the proposition that indigenous people are insufficiently civilised or Christian to merit being viewed as competing sovereign powers.
		Aboriginal rights of governance ought to be recognised as surviving the assertion of Crown sovereignty according to the same principle of justice governing the survival of Aboriginal rights with respect to land.

	HREOC Website: Speeches
		To date, Aboriginal sovereignty has tended to be defined as something analogous to the sovereignty of the State or government in international law.
		This issue of definition of Aboriginal sovereignty is one of the main concerns that I have at this early stage of debate about a treaty.
		The nature of Australian sovereignty continually changes and is constantly being re-aligned and redistributed among a myriad of levels and players.

	The Lia Pootah Aboriginal Community of Tasmania
		The Tasmanian Aboriginal Lands Council headed by Brian Mansell (TAC) who until recently was a field officer for catholic education, claim no-one at CHAC is Aboriginal and Michael Mansell (his brother) claimed on the television news last night that all CHAC were “white imposters without a drop of Aboriginal blood”.
		Aboriginality is about retaining your heritage and culture and passing it into the future to your children it is not about making a heritage from scraps of Aboriginal culture in Queensland or borrowing instruments like the digadredoo and pretending they are yours.
		That these definitions of Aboriginality suit only the Bass Strait island family group is demanded by the TAC, who prefer to write their own definition rather than follow the federal guidelines for the rest of the Australian Aboriginal population.

	American Indian Sovereignty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		No, it was through the affirmation of their "sovereignty" -- that is, through the affirmation of the kind of sovereignty that the Western Shoshone have under "federal Indian law." As we have seen, this kind of sovereignty is not real self-determination.
		The concept of sovereignty was a response to civil war in the Christian world at the close of the Middle Ages.
		Sovereignty -- the notion of "absolute, unlimited power held permanently in a single person or source, inalienable, indivisible, and original" -- is today a theory under siege.

	AusAnthrop: Australian Aboriginal kinship and social organization
		Others are explicit, and these are grounded, in Aboriginal Australia, in two interwoven domains, one is the religious complex of the Dreaming -- or the Law --the other is kinship and social organisation or social categories that everywhere play an important role in everyday as well as religious life.
		The birth of kinship studies at the end of the 19th century is closely linked to Australian Aboriginal anthropology, one reason more to spend some time on the subject.
		In Aboriginal Australia, in many groups, people that live together for prolonged periods in the same community may well become close relatives, as if they were born by the same mother.
