What
exactly do the words Yothu Yindi mean? Is there just one
language called "Aboriginal"?
What are some authentic local words I could use for a name?
There is an astonishing richness and variety in the many
languages of Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people. This book gives a snapshot of a diverse selection
from these languages - some of them still alive and developing
vigorously, others already lost to the past. For the first
time in one popular volume it is possible to explore the
ranges of our own linguistic heritage. Brief background
notes sketch the history and culture behind the words, and
a full index gives instant access to all the details.

This
book will provide an overview of indigenous relationships
to plants in Australia. The book contains themes that the
author has been researching for twenty years. The book is
unique, spanning the gap between botany and indigenous studies.
It differs from other 'bushtucker' overviews by treating
the study of plants as a window upon which to delve into
Aboriginal culture. There are four main sections. Part 1
gives insights into Aboriginal culture through looking at
the roles of plants in language, ritual and religion. Part
2 demonstrates how Aboriginal people were actively involved
in managing their environment. Part 3 focuses upon the importance
of particular species of plant to make food, drink, medicine,
narcotics and tools. Part 4 looks at the future of Aboriginal
plant use.

Veronica Dobson, presents a comprehensive overview of the
different methods of healing used by the Arrernte people
of Central Australia. Previously titled, Bush Medicines,
the scope of this book has broadened to include other forms
of healing and, importantly, the spiritual aspect of Arrernte
healing and its integral connection to the land. Veronica
Dobson, is a widely respected elder who is also a noted
translator, interpreter and teacher of the Arrernte language.
She has drawn on her own cultural knowledge and supplemented
it by interviewing other elders and senior healers in the
Arrernte community. She shares the various medicinal plants
and how they are processed into washes and ointments; the
use of hot earth and ashes, and the treatments for various
conditions such as toothache, snakebite and flu.

The first book to reveal the secret
and sacred practices of Aboriginal shamans, Aboriginal Men
of High Degree presents an extraordinary series of rites
by which the young Aboriginal male begins the degrees of
shamanic initiation-each marked by its own portion of esoteric
knowledge. One of Australia's most eminent anthropologists,
A. P. Elkin focuses on karadji, or men of high degree, who
possess magical powers and who serve as channels between
the Dreamtime beings and their own communities. As psychologists
and psychic experts, the karadji are essential to the groups'
social cohesion. They are believed to cure and kill mysteriously,
make rain, anticipate future events, and appear and disappear
at will. Not content to explain away these phenomenon, Elkin
boldly suggests that we enter into the karadji worldview
and try to understand this remarkable culture on its own
terms.

social, cultural, political and environmental themes.

For
perhaps fifty thousand years the Aboriginal People have
lived, and lived well, in Australia. They have developed
a unique knowledge of their native plants and a deep understanding
of the value of many animal products. Bush Food is an exploration
of these traditional skills and a compendium of the kinds
of foods eaten by Aborigines.

Selected
from a conference on Aboriginal oral traditions, these essays
cover three broad subject areas: oral traditions and knowledge
of the environment, economy, education, and/or health of
communities; oral traditions and the continuance of language
and culture and the effects of intellectual property rights,
electronic media, and public discourse on oral traditions.

During
the 1940s and '50s, in Australia, many icons of Aboriginal
descent rose to prominence, and were representative of the
culture of the day, and of their own people. Some permanently
influenced the minds of Australians, remaining famous to
this day - others have been unjustly forgotten.

Beautiful
stories of life in Australian Aboriginal society-where gender
influences every aspect of existence-that show a new way
to find happiness in our modern Western culture. For thousands
of years the Ngarinyin Aboriginal culture of Australia has
existed with almost a total division of responsibility between
genders. This division enables both men and women to respect
the power, wisdom, and essentiality of the other, because
only when the two genders work in harmony does their culture
function as it should. Hannah
Rachel Bell, a committed activist and feminist, presents
the experience of living in a society in which every action
is governed by the laws of nature and myth, rather than
those of commerce and politics.

This
is an easily readable book that explores how Indigenous
men understand their lives, their health and their culture.
Using conversations, stories and art, the author shows how
Kimberley desert communities have a cultural value and relationship
described as kanyirninpa or holding. The author uses examples
from Australian Rules football, petrol sniffing and imprisonment
to reveal the possibilities for lasting improvements to
men’s health based on kanyirninpa’s expression
of deep and enduring cultural values and relationships.

The
songlines are the invisible pathways that criss-cross Australia,
ancient tracks connecting communities and following ancient
boundaries. Along these lines Aboriginal people passed the
songs which revealed the creation of the land and the secrets
of its past. In this magical account, Chatwin recalls his
travels across the length and breadth of Australia seeking
to find the truth about the songs and unravel the mysteries
of their stories.
