Henry Reynold's 'Law of the Land'' demonstrates the impact of the application of the doctrine of 'Terra Nullius' on Aboriginal society and the subsequent development of black-white relations in Australia. Land was the foundation of Aboriginal life - of an economic, religious and cultural system centred on hunting and gathering which provided a basis for a sustainable and stable society. The alienation of Aboriginal land and the resulting conflict as Aborigines resisted the spread of white settlement destroyed the economic base of that society and left the survivors in a marginal and dependent relationship with the European society that replaced it.","PeriodicalId":42397,"journal":{"name":"Aboriginal History","volume":"1 1","pages":"24-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89659285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Murray River finds thus were a direct contradiction of prevailing ideas. Today the indications of antiquity seem very different. At least two recent finds of Kartan type stone tools, mentioned later in this paper, both derived from shore deposits of the Woakwine marine terrace in the south east of South Australia, may suggest that man has been here at least since the interstadial between Wisconsin I and II Glacial times. Perhaps some of the earliest folk to arrive crossed over the ever present sea barriers dividing Asia from Australia, well before the rise of sea level marking the end of Wisconsin I.","PeriodicalId":42397,"journal":{"name":"Aboriginal History","volume":"44 1","pages":"93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84573820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formal rules for the conduct of these public displays are structured by relationships between kin. Different age-grades have different roles, and male and female have different roles. Before strangers can approach each other, it is essential that each person knows where he or she stands relative to other individuals in these matters. The conduct of meetings between those who are not habitually in face to face contact seems to follow similar patterns all over Australia. It is part of a pan-Australian patterning, so that each party to an encounter knows what types of responses to expect, how to interpret them and the appropriate modes of reaction. The European intruders must have caused bewilderment and consternation by totally inappropriate actions and sequences of reactions. I propose to examine a number of encounters, and to view them, as far as possible in the light of Australian (i.e. Aboriginal) expectations, and examine the extent to which Europeans met or fell short of those expectations, or reacted in inexplicable ways that lay outside the appropriate public structures for conflict or accord. My examples will be drawn from the southwest of the continent during the years when Aborigines were becoming increasingly aware of more and more intrusive groups regularly moving through and into their territory. I begin with an account of an encounter between Aboriginal groups (although in the presence of European observers), which gives some of the dimensions of expectation. Although this meeting is from a different area and time, many elements of this fuller account are repeated in the more fragmentary accounts from the southwest, enabling us to fit those fragments into a wider synthesis.","PeriodicalId":42397,"journal":{"name":"Aboriginal History","volume":"153 1","pages":"134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75979516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
