	Ngurunderi - Introduction
		Their environment was rich with animals, plants and aquatic resources and the Ngarrindjeri groups were consequently less nomadic than Aborigines of the inland.
		In common with other south-eastern Australian groups, Ngarrindjeri religion was characterised by Dreaming Ancestors who established laws and social practices before leaving the earth to live in the sky.
		Today the Ngarrindjeri community, located in several country centres as well as in Adelaide itself, is one of the largest Aboriginal communities in southern Australia.

	Thukeri story explanation told by Veena Gollan
		A long time ago, the Ngarrindjeri people would have used their bark canoes to go fishing and to trade with other neighbouring groups along the Coorong and also, the Ngarrindjeri children would have spent a lot of time swimming and playing other games along this area.
		The Ngarrindjeri men used to shear the sheep and bring the sheep's wool down onto the beachfront and then it would be baled up and taken by paddle steamer over to Goolwa and then transported to Adelaide.
		The Ngarrindjeri people were very lucky to have all this water, because the Ngarrindjeri people were people who used the ocean and the water for fishing.

	TEXT Vol 7 No 1 Helen Milte Bastow
		Ngarrindjeri history that was only available to me on another level of consciousness as a child growing up in the 1960s culture post the State and Commonwealth Policy Conference on Assimilation [1951].
		No one explained to her that the Aborigines of her town were largely Ngarrindjeri people, a group originally numbering 3000 [21], who had been dramatically evicted from fertile tribal lands in The Coorong.
		In a discussion of Ngarrindjeri history and mythology [27] the contemporary story of the Ngarrindjeri People's involvement in the politics of gender, knowledge and ownership must be mentioned.

		It equals the level of land holding held by the Ngarrindjeri Tendi in the land occupied by the Ngarrindjeri and that was constituted in English law on 19 February 1836, and which was capable of being recognised as such by the British Crown on 28 December 1836.
		The recognition of a Ngarrindjeri dominion over Ngarrindjeri territory is an integral part of the implicit recognition of the dominion of the native inhabitants over their own lands, which the Letters Patent intended be dealt with without displacing its native occupants.
		The Ngarrindjeri have not been deprived of their dominium in any of these Ngarrindjeri 'dominium' lands that remain within the control of the Crown today despite the alienation of fee simple land.

	News in Science - Science helps return stolen human remains - 04/12/2006
		Members of a thriving medical research community took Ngarrindjeri human remains during the 19th century and as late as the 1950s, says Flinders University archaeologist Dr Lynley Wallis, who is helping with the project.
		Wallis is keen to emphasise she cannot speak on behalf of the Ngarrindjeri community, representatives of which were not immediately contactable.
		Pelicans, known as ngori, are a totem for the Ngarrindjeri people and the flock were seen as the spirits of the old people coming to see the burial, says Wallis.

		Until that time, the local Ngarrindjeri people had not opposed the bridge, even though they had been aware of it since 1989, when the bridge developers had consulted with Ngarrindjeri leaders.
		Although they did not care whether or not the bridge was built, they took their own history and traditions seriously, and were outraged by what they saw as the dishonest way in which these were being presented.
		In December 1995, the Royal Commission found that Ngarrindjeri 'women's business' was a total fabrication, created for the sole purpose of stopping the bridge.

	National Museum of Australia - 28 April 2003 Largest return of Aboriginal remains
		The remains of some 300 Aboriginal people, robbed from their graves a century ago, will be returned to the Ngarrindjeri people of the lower Murray Lakes and Coorong area in South Australia by the National Museum of Australia next Monday in what is the nation's largest repatriation of ancestral remains.
		The Ngarrindjeri remains were originally taken from 27 gravesites between 1898 and 1906.
		Ngarrindjeri delegates will collect the 18 boxes of remains at the Unit's Mitchell premises in Canberra in a handover ceremony on Monday 5 May at 10am.

	Ngarrindjeri - Language of the Month
		Ngarrindjeri is the indigenous language of a large part of the lower Murray and Coorong area of South Australia.
		Looking through recordings of Ngarrindjeri language from anthropologists and missionaries, and with help from the experts in her own South Australian community, Rhonda has now compiled at least 46 different names that refer to family relationships.
		Working on a list of animal names, she spent nearly three years trying to find the Ngarrindjeri word for penguin, and is still hoping to come across the word for koala.

		All subsequent (full size) Ngarrindjeri flags have been screen printed, and the Flag makers have done an excellent job in reproducing the colours - so much so, that it is often impossible to tell if a screen-printed flag was the original or not unless one can make a close inspection.
		The original flag design and colours are those that were approved by the Ngarrindjeri elders either verbally or ceremonially or both; so it follows that any significant alteration to the original image could only be legitimately done with Ngarrindjeri elders' approval.
		On holiday in Victor Harbor, South Australia, I came across the Ngarrindjeri Nation Flag on a plaque on the plinth of the Encounter 2002 Poles, "ON OCCUPIED TERRITORY", commemorating the encounter in 1802 of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin in Ramindjeri Ngarrindjeri Waters, now called Encounter Bay.

	Murray, Life + Death
		The Yorta Yorta in Victoria, and the Ngarrindjeri in South Australia, are two Aboriginal nations sharing a timeless connection with the river.
		But they've got to be Ngarrindjeri, too, and they've got to have their connection to their country, and that connection to our country - we're being denied that, because of what's happening to our country.
		We of Ngarrindjeri peoples believe that the lands and waters is a living body, and we are a part of its existence, and if the lands and waters die, then we will die.

		The original and sacred keepers of this land are the Ngarrindjeri (literally, "The People").
		The Ngarrindjeri herded the fish into the circles at high tide by thrashing the water with their hands and legs.
		Reviving an almost lost craft, the artist Yvonne Koolmatrie uses the traditional weaving techniques associated with Ngarrindjeri people in South Australia to make her art.

	Ngarrindjeri Nation (Australia)
		The three colours, Yellow, Red and Blue were chosen for several reasons, but firstly to indicate a connection with the Aboriginal flag (Red and Yellow) and the Blue was chosen because of the strong connection the Ngarrindjeri have with water in the River, The Coorong and Lakes district.
		All subsequent (full size) Ngarrindjeri flags have been screen printed, and the Flag makers have done an excellent job in reproducing the colours - so much so, that it is often impossible to tell if a screen-printed flag was the original or not unless one can make a close inspection.

	Ethuography, advocacy and feminism: A volatile mix. A view from a reading of Diane Bell's Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin. - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		My interest is in bringing together themes pursued by feminists about their engagement with anthropology and ethnography with those debating the place of advocacy in anthropology so as to examine how one might position this book.
		After a Royal Commission, court hearings and appeals which either refuted the women's claims or found there was insufficient evidence, the proponent women's case was eventually found not to have been fabricated, a victory celebrated in 2001.
		Bell published this ethnography of the Ngarrindjeri in 1997, after her own formal contribution was over but when the appeals process was still under way.

		What the book demonstrates very powerfully is the gender-blind ethnocentrism of the discipline of anthropology, and its tendency to read Aboriginality through patriarchalised eyes.In particular, its assumption that men are the 'natural' makers and controllers of culture.
		Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin is about big issues like the quality of justice enjoyed by Indigenous peoples and what sort of society we want to be.
		"Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin falls into the category of books which are likely to be valuable to almost all sectors of the reading public, and at the same time, to be criticised by almost all sectors of the reading public." Deborah Bird Rose

	The Kumarangk Legal Defence Fund Inc.
		ADELAIDE -- On October 25, 50 people gathered at Currency Creek, near Goolwa, to celebrate a victory for the ferry workers who operate services between the mainland and Hindmarsh Island (Kumarangk) and to oppose the construction of the Hindmarsh Island bridge.
		At the October 25 gathering, workers pledged their support to the cause of the Ngarrindjeri people.
		This solidarity was reciprocated by Ngarrindjeri women, who said the victory of the workers was a victory for the campaign against the bridge.

	Religion, belief and action: The case of Ngarrindjeri 'women's business' on Hindmarsh Island, South Australia, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the face of these challenges, which more and more are taking place in the highest courts of law in these countries, anthropologists are called upon to analyse, interpret and evaluate indigenous peoples' attempts to confront the state and other non-indigenous interests with which indigenous peoples see themselves in conflict.
		In this paper, I re-visit the question of how 'beliefs' can be tested anthropologically, as indeed the question was raised in the context of the Ngarrindjeri sacred site claim, and the role of the anthropologist as both adjudicator of and witness to the events surrounding clashes between indigenous peoples and states.
		The women (who would come to be known as the 'proponent women') claimed that building the bridge would fatally impair the reproductive capacity of women's bodies and the reproductivity of their cosmos more generally.

	Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Talk about Hindmarsh Island - [2002] ILB 15; (2002) 5(15) ILB 16
		Arguably it was the absence of Indigenous evidence from the court that contributed to a situation where the strength of the Ngarrindjeri (and others’) campaign, and the genuineness of their beliefs were downplayed.
		It is particularly problematic for the Ngarrindjeri people whose agency in the campaign is implicitly diminished by the primacy given to Owen.
		Whether these findings reflect underlying assumptions about Ngarrindjeri people, a lack of understanding about the nature of a community campaign,[16] or simply the outcome of a structurally narrow focus of evidence, the implications for Indigenous people and their supporters are worrying.

	Blocking Business An Anthropological Assessment of the Hindmarsh Island Dispute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In response, Ngarrindjeri women and their supporters have argued that secret knowledge about the significance of a site would only be revealed to outsiders as a last resort, and that the women who held this knowledge did not learn about the threat to the island until very recently.
		She reports that the Ngarrindjeri women held hands and formed a large circle on the beach at the Murray Mouth, and notes that the Berndts discuss ‘the importance of circular motifs in the first stage of women’s initiation’ (F: 6).
		Firstly, their Ngarrindjeri informants are expressing a wider Aboriginal idea in which the whole landscape is in a sense sacred, so that most of the acts which transform the landscape that Europeans take for granted involve some form of desecration.

	Defamation Processes and the Hindmarsh Island Bridge Campaign - [2000] ILB 2; 4(26)ILB pg7
		While opponents of the bridge and Ngarrindjeri people are not being sued in this case, the litigation has meant that Deane Fergie, the anthropologist who reported the existence of Aboriginal ‘women's business’[11] on the island has, on legal advice, been unable to contribute to the continuing public debate about the bridge for over two years.
		[23] Since the Ngarrindjeri women were not parties to these cases, they were not in a position to either defend or explain their statements, or to have any influence over the legal settlement.
		[29] Since a number of Ngarrindjeri people are willing to testify for the defence, this may be something of a test case, not only for the other defamation cases but, in the public eye, also for the claims of the Ngarrindjeri themselves.

		This apology was tendered to the Ngarrindjeri nation following the conflict that beset the community as a result of the Hindmarsh Island Bridge Affair, which saw the cultural sensibilities of the Ngarrindjeri people trampled upon in the name of financial profit.
		It is unfortunate that it took an event as shaming to Australia as this to inspire local government to do what the Federal Government still refuses to do, but heartening that they had the courage to acknowledge the wrongs that had been done.
		To the Ngarrindjeri people, the Traditional owners of the land and waters within the region, the Alexandrina Council expresses sorrow and sincere regret for the suffering and injustice that you have experienced since colonisation and we share with you our feelings of shame and sorrow at the mistreatment your people have suffered.

		Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin (Bell 1998) is explicitly and reflexively located within the politics of the nation state at a particular historical juncture, a fractured community, and a litigious climate--see the Prologue, Chapters Two and Seven, the Epilogue.
		The Ngarrindjeri story I have chosen to tell is complex.
		Throughout I am at pains to illustrate the ways in which all ethnography is embedded in social relations.

		Her work continued to be both political and lyrical; her images of the fish and birds of the Coorong became a kind of trademark.
