	Wiradjuri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wiradjuri, or Wiradhuri, are an indigenous people of Australia, who speak the Aboriginal language of that name.
		Wiradjuri elders Isabell Coe and Neville "Uncle Chappy" Williams are leading land rights activits and proponents in the Lake Cowal Campaign.
		The Wiradjuri language had effectively died out of everyday spoken use, but has recently been reconstructed from early European anthropologist's records by Stan Grant, a member of the Wiradjuri Elder's Council, and John Rudder Ph.D., who has previously studied Australian Aboriginal languages in Arnhem Land.

		The Wiradjuri initially withdrew and observed the Europeans.
		During 1823 there was a series of raids carried out by the Wiradjuri war party, determined to drive the squatters of their land.
		In another incident three women and a young boy were shot by a party of soldiers and settlers despite their cries for mercy and their bodies thrown in a nearby waterhole.

		Nonetheless, the heroic resistance of the Wiradjuri under the leadership of the great warrior Windradyne, ensured that the British knew they were in deep trouble in their new colony.
		Instead of the army chasing Wiradjuri from the land of white farmers, as it had in the past, now it was the turn of trespassing British colonists to be chased off Wiradjuri land.
		The Wiradjuri were happy to see this as some colonists had befriended them during the war and had accepted Wiradjuri customs in regards to the land and friendship.

	Oceania: Photos in Wiradjuri Biscuit Tins: Negotiating Relatedness and Validating Colonial Histories
		The fact that valued Wiradjuri photos are usually simple 'snapshots', of the family album type, is most probably what has contributed to their underestimation in cultural terms.
		The kind of Wiradjuri photo collections in which I am interested would be deemed remarkably Ordinary' in the world of high art, belonging to what Bourdieu (1984:32) would characterise as a 'popular' aesthetic, associated with the working class and those fractions of the middle-class 'least rich in cultural capital'.
		Wiradjuri photos, many of them simple snapshots, would seem to fit this image, almost all of them affirming the continuity of family life.

		This paper uses an anthropological perspective based on two decades of working with Wiradjuri communities in central New South Wales to understand the impacts that various policy assumptions have had on cultural practice, taking up the observation of one Wiradjuri man that ‘policy is for the policy makers, it’s not for us’.
		For Wiradjuri Kooris, work lives, visiting patterns, social and emotional supports, economic welfare and political allegiances have long been expected to be governed by rules associated with kin relatedness.
		One Wiradjuri elder, tired of answering questions of my field studies students, would tell them to ask me, legitimating my speaking on her behalf but only on that occasion.

		The Wiradjuri people had warned the settlers frequently of the dangers of the flood but were ignored at great cost to the pioneers.
		The clash of interests between the Wiradjuri people who saw their land being overrun and changed by the invader, the enterprising pioneers and businessmen, the conflicts of motivation within the settlers' families and the dreadful menace of the flood itself are drawn in convincing poetry.
		Yarri is one of the most dramatic of the stories of European-Aboriginal interaction and certainly one of very few from an English perspective in which the Aboriginal people are clearly shown as the heroic protagonists.
