Welcome to Country Upon arrival at Dandiiri Maiwar view the "Welcome to Country" given by Uncle Bob Anderson and Aunty Jianna Richardson. Out of respect for the families and communities who have contributed their stories we request that there be no photography within the Centre. Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders are the Indigenous peoples of Australia. Do you know? Who are the Traditional Owners of the area that you live in? How can you find out? Aboriginal People Aboriginal Australians have enjoyed life in all parts of Australia since the beginning of time when all things were called into being. Each clan or family group has its own defined country, stories, beliefs, practices and languages, with obligations to care for land, each other and all living things. Individuals have special obligations to maintain their connection to and care for particular animals, birds, or plants. Non-Aboriginal estimates put the Aboriginal occupation of Australia at about years at least. Conservative estimates place the Aboriginal population before Invasion and colonisation at about people. 1
2 Before Invasion people were able to speak a number of Aboriginal languages as communication with neighbours and other groups, for social and economic activities, was a regular part of life. Men traditionally hunt larger creatures depending on the environment, season and resource availability in their particular country. Women and children collect smaller animals and harvested fruits, berries and other plants. If the day's hunting fails to provide the group with a significant catch then the harvested fruits, plants and small animals can always be relied on to provide a tasty and nutritious meal. Clothing and shelters vary according to climate, need and availability of resources. In old times during very cold seasons possum and kangaroo skin cloaks were made by stitching skins together. Great care is taken not to use up the resources or food supply of an area. People only take what is needed, making sure there is plenty for next season. Nothing is wasted. Torres Strait Islanders Torres Strait Islanders are of Melanesian origin, proud of their own distinct cultural identity, traditions, languages and history. Like most island and coastal dwellers the Islanders are true seafarers, navigating by the stars with a superb knowledge of islands and reefs, weather, tides and currents. The size of communities varies according to the ability of the islands to sustain groups of people. Communities could be as small as twenty and as large as 800 people. Island society is life based on farming (where soil was fertile), hunting, fishing and gathering food from the sea. Three languages are spoken amongst the Islanders: Kala Kawa Ya (Top Western and Western), Kala Lagau Ya (Central) and Meriam (Eastern) dominate, with Torres Strait Islander Kriol having emerged after the arrival of the missionaries. Torres Strait is named after a Spanish captain, Torres, who sailed through the Strait in 1606 on his way to the Philippines. The Torres Strait is located between Cape York and Papua New Guinea and is made up of about 100 islands of which 15 are inhabited and administered by Community Councils. The Torres Strait is divided into five major island clusters, the Top Western Group (Boigu, Dauan and Saibai), the Near Western Group (Badu, Mabuiag and Moa), the Central Group (Yam, Warraber, Coconut and Masig), the Eastern Group (Murray, Darnley and Stephen), and the TI Group (Thursday, Horn, Hammond, Prince of Wales and Friday). In seagoing canoes they created a network of trade routes between islands and from New Guinea to Cape York Peninsula to ensure supplies of food, weapons, canoes, cassowary feathers, ochre, ceremonial and domestic objects. Torres Strait Islanders traded pearl shell, cone shell, turtle shell and stone. Archaeological evidence currently indicates that people have lived on Torres Strait islands for at least years. 2
3 Today an estimated Torres Strait Islanders live all over Australia; while about live on the Islands. Although the majority of the Islanders live on the mainland, Torres Strait Islanders are fiercely proud of their identity wherever they live and maintain links with family, home islands, languages and culture. Flags You may have seen the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag flying at your school or in your community. What do the colours and symbols on these two flags represent? What do the colours and symbols represented on the flags tell you about the things that Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders value? Why do you think it is important for nations to have their own flags? If you could design your own flag what kinds of symbols would you use to represent the things that are important to you and your family? Aboriginal Flag Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia, designed the Aboriginal flag in 1971 as a symbol of unity and national identity for Aboriginal people during the Land Rights movement of the early 1970s. The flag was first flown on the 12th of July 1971 in Victoria Square, Adelaide, on National Aborigines Day. The flag was chosen in 1972 as the official flag for the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. The symbolic meaning of the flag colours (as stated by Mr Harold Thomas) are: black representing the Aboriginal people of Australia; red representing the earth, red ochre and spiritual relationship to land; and yellow is the sun - the giver of life and protector. In 1995, the Australian Government proclaimed the flag as an official Flag of Australia. Torres Strait Islander Flag The late Mr Bernard Namok, from Thursday Island, designed the Torres Strait Islander flag in 1992 for a design competition held as part of a Cultural Revival Workshop. The colours represent: green for the islands (land); black for the people; blue for the sea; and white for peace. 3
4 The Dhari (head-dress) is unique to the Torres Strait and is a symbol of Torres Strait Islander identity; The five-pointed star represents the five Island clusters and also symbolises the navigational importance of stars to their seafaring culture. The Torres Strait Islander Flag was recognised as an official Flag of Australia in July Glossary Aboriginal English Refers to the form of English used by Aboriginal people. Aboriginal English uses elements of Standard Australian English and Aboriginal languages. Ailan kastom bilong Torres Strait Torres Strait Islander culture. Archaeology The study of the past through material traces. Artefact Any product made by humans or caused to be made through human actions.

Bipo Taim A Torres Strait Islander term that refers to the time before the arrival of missionaries. Breastplate Aboriginal breastplates, also known as king plates, gorgets and brass plates were given by Europeans to individual Aboriginal people during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Includes land, language, ways of living and working artistic expression, relationships and identity. 4
5 Dhari/Dhoeri The Dhari is the traditional dance and ceremonial headdress of the Torres Strait. It is the central motif on the region s flag and symbolises the identity and unity of all Torres Strait Islanders. Dhari is the Meriam Mir word for headdress and is used in the eastern islands. In the central and western islands where Kala Lagaw Ya is spoken, the headdress is called Dhoeri. Designs vary from island to island. Dharis/Dhoeris were traditionally made from Frigate Bird and Torres Strait Pigeon feathers, but are now often made from chicken feathers with cane for the frame.
