In this paper, we trace dynamics of continuity and change in Indigenous and Western institutional lives across two ethnographic surveys in the stone country of western Arnhem Land. These surveys were conducted by the authors for the Northern Land Council (NLC) in the years 2000 and 2022 over identical tracts of land as part of the NLC's agreement-making procedure under Part IV of the ALRA. The 22-year interval between the surveys offer a lens to attend to historical trends in Indigenous intergenerational knowledge transmission, state and corporate development agendas, and applied anthropological practice itself. The article illuminates benefits of the agreement-making process for Indigenous peoples in western Arnhem Land not previously accounted for in the literature on mining negotiations under the ALRA. We highlight the need for greater reflexivity on the part of land councils in considering how the priorities of their constituents might be brought to the forefront of agreement-making procedures.","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"36 1","pages":"88-102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is becoming a lesser part of their workload as most outstanding claims have now been resolved. A key element of traditional ownership as statutorily defined is the ‘local descent group’. This phrase arose in anthropological analyses of Aboriginal society, but was introduced as a criterion of traditional ownership into the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. This paper considers the importance for applied anthropology of recognising the differences as well as links between statutorily recognised local descent groups and Indigenous understandings of relationships to land, especially as we move further in time from the land claims in which particular groups were originally described. Throughout history, abstract categories for people (such as ‘local descent group’) have been used in ways that direct the physical flow of populations through institutions, leading to what Anderson (1991, p. 169) has termed ‘traffic-habits’ that ‘gave real social life to the state's earlier fantasies’. Based on my direct experience as a land council anthropologist, I argue that the contemporary form of many of the local descent groups with which the land councils consult is at least partially the result of ‘traffic-habits’ that reify the ‘demographic topographies’ that exist in claim documents and meeting reports. In this context, ethnographic analysis of the political and institutional aspects of Aboriginal lives is required for applied anthropologists to deliver sound advice as to how local descent groups operate.","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"36 1","pages":"40-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trigger","doi":"10.1111/taja.70006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/taja.70006","url":null,"abstract":"My studies in the Northern Territory/Queensland border region of Australia's Gulf Country indicate continuing tense negotiations among Waanyi/Garawa people concerning the inclusion/exclusion of particular persons as traditional owners and recipients of benefits from various economic ventures. Despite commonly expressed Indigenous views that stress the importance of sustaining continuity of traditional ‘law’, this points to the importance of addressing change, as assuming that the model of traditional ownership articulated in a land claim 40 years ago will not undergo modification would be naïve. Subsequent generations have come to define connections to Country more flexibly than the earlier documented system of inheritance through patrilines and mother's patrilines. Native title, land claims, and mining negotiations on the Queensland side of the border have influenced this outcome. I address risks of legal rigidification of customary law driven by the practical availability of the original Northern Territory land rights research. That earlier completed work has become a focus for appeals to cultural authenticity and strategic traditionalism among Indigenous protagonists fuelled in part by competition for money and related resources. While research such as mine from the 1980s remains essential in decision-making, it needs to be updated and approached with a methodology open to the significance of cultural change. This difficult area of anthropological work deserves more analytical attention, recognition, and support.","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"36 1","pages":"55-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aside from statutory support, other community-based support is delivered mostly by non-government organisations and is typically funded by government grants. Securing funding is critical for the ongoing sustainability and survival of many organisations. However, much funding in the refugee and asylum seeker support sector is only available for services adhering to donor-determined funding agreements and narrowly defined programs with measurable criteria and strict reporting requirements. This paper examines the effects of these workplace technologies of governmentality, audit, and compliance, on workers within government-funded community-based support organisations in South Australia, drawing on ethnographic research undertaken during 2019 and 2020. This paper argues that significant transactional and moral burdens arise from funding and workplace governmentality, impacting organisational legitimacy and mission. Support organisations must be attuned to this and factor this knowledge into choices about their funding mix and operations.","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"36 1","pages":"175-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These climate change mitigation interventions apply tools—such as Incorporated Land Groups, maps, and satellite imagery—to make environments measurable and valuable, thereby generating ‘frictions’ between different ways of being and knowing. Through ethnographic accounts of land disputes, we highlight how these tools conflict with the ways that people in Suau relate to and look after their environments. As processes of rendering technical work to recognise and exclude certain forest uses and users, this produces frictions that impact on local livelihoods and matrilineal land tenure systems. Employing the concepts of rendering technical and friction together provides a situated framework for extending attention from distributional and procedural elements of land disputes to consider ethical and ontological layers.","PeriodicalId":45452,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Anthropology","volume":"36 1","pages":"157-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/taja.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
