| Title: A Record in Bone |
| Sub-title: Exploring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Bone and Tooth Artefacts |
| By (author): Terri Farrelly |
| ISBN10-13: 0855751282 : 9780855751289 |
| Bone and tooth tools and ornaments have been made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for at least 46,000 years - some of the oldest organic technologies in the world. Despite their beauty, sophistication, and ubiquity, archaeologists and other researchers have overwhelmingly focused on the stone artefacts of Australia. Consequently, until now, we knew little of how bone and tooth objects were made and used, or how individual communities differed in how they worked with these distinctive materials. A Record in Bone brings together the scattered and sometimes difficult-to-find research and findings of more than a century. It reveals innovative bone, tooth, quill, and claw industries, including extensive use of ornamentation, bone points, fishhooks, and much more. This volume is a perfect companion to A Record in Stone: The study of Australia's flaked stone artefacts (ASP 2007). It is an invaluable reference text for professionals and students of archaeology, anthropology, Indigenous studies, and museum studies; and an easy-to-read introduction for anyone interested in Australia's deep past. |

65,000 years. " -- Laureate Professor Peter Veth, FAHA, MAACAI, The University

| Title: Aboriginal Suicide is Different |
| Sub-title: A Portrait of Life & Self-Destruction |
| By (author): Colin Tatz |
| ISBN10-13: 0855754982 : 9780855754983 |
| Every Australian's birthright includes the expectation of a healthy and possibly happy life of some longevity, assisted by all the services which a civilised society can make possible. But this is not yet within the Aboriginal (or Maori, Pacific Islander, Canadian Inuit and American Indian) grasp. That so many young Aboriginal people prefer death to life implies a rejection of what people in the broader Australian society, have on offer. It reflects a failure, as a nation, to provide sufficient incentives for young Aborigines to remain alive. This is a study of youth who have, or feel they have, no purpose in life -- or who may be seeking freedom in death. It is a portrait of life, and of self-destruction, by young Aboriginal men and women. To comprehend this relatively recent phenomenon, which occurs more outside than inside custody, one has to appreciate Aboriginal history -- the effects of which contribute more to an understanding of suicide today than do psychological or medical theories about the victim. Aboriginal youth at risk are suffering more from social than from mental disorder. Adopting a historical and anthropological approach to suicide in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and New Zealand, this book documents rates of suicide that may well be the world's worst. It tries to glimpse the soul of the suicide rather than merely his or her contribution to our national statistics. |

| Title: Aboriginal Sydney |
| Sub-title: A Guide to Important Places of the Past & Present: 2nd Edition |
| By (author): Melinda Hinkson By (photographer): Alana Harris |
| ISBN10-13: 0855757124 : 9780855757120 |
| Despite its bustling urban presence, Sydney has a rich and complex Aboriginal heritage. Hidden within its burgeoning city landscape, lie layers of a vibrant culture and a turbulent history. But, you need to know where to look. This book supplies the information. The popular first edition established itself as both authoritative and informative; it is both a guide book and an alternative social history, told through precincts of significance to the city's Indigenous people. The sites within the precincts, and their accompanying stories and photographs, evoke Sydney's ancient past, and allow us all to celebrate the living Aboriginal culture of today. |

| Title: Aborigines & the Sport of Kings |
| Sub-title: Aboriginal Jockeys in Australian Racing History |
| By (author): John Maynard |
| ISBN10-13: 1922059544 : 9781922059543 |
| Coming from an Aboriginal family involved in racing, John Maynard has always know there have been more Aboriginal jockeys contributing to Australian racing than is generally known. In Aborigines and the Sport of Kings he combines his skills as a researcher and historian with his deep knowledge of Australian racing. In this revised edition he celebrates the significant and exciting Aboriginal involvement in Australian racing history. For Aboriginal pastoral workers to move from being the backbone of the pastoral industry to being superb jockeys was an obvious step. Amongst the many Aboriginal jockeys highlighted in the book are Merv Maynard, Norm Rose, Frank Reys, Richard Lawrence 'Darby' McCarthy and Leigh-Anne Goodwin, Australia's first female Aboriginal jockey to ride a winner at a metropolitan track. Published formerly as Aboriginal stars of the turf. |
| Reviews: |
|
Some of the stories are splendid. And every time a horse was ridden by M Maynard, my Dad would back it. We never knew that he was an Aboriginal jockey. Or perhaps he did and Dad being a fierce nationalist most probably felt he should support him. — Alan Jones, first edition of Stars of the Turf
|
|
At the heart of this study was a passion and desire to play some small part in the process of revealing another important missing chapter of Australian Aboriginal history
[O]ur stories recognis[e] that over the past two hundred years the historical tapestry of this country was one in which both black and white were deeply interwoven. — Preface

| Title: AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia -- Folded |
| Created by: David Horton |
| ISBN10-13: 1922059692 : 9781922059697 |
| The highly popular AIATSIS map of Indigenous Australia is now available in a compact, portable A3 size. Available flat or folded (packaged in a cellophane bag), it is the perfect take-home product for tourists and anyone interested in the diversity of Australia's first nations peoples. The handy desk size also makes it an ideal resource for individual student use. Using published resources available from 1988-1994, the map attempts to represent the language or nation groups of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia. For tens of thousands of years, the First Australians have occupied this continent as many different nations with diverse cultural relationships linking them to their own particular lands. The ancestral creative beings left languages on country, along with the first peoples and their cultures. Over 200 distinct languages, and countless dialects of them, were in use when European colonisation began. While people in some communities continue to speak their own languages, many others are seeking to record and revive threatened ones. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples retain their connection to their traditional lands regardless of where they live. |

| Title: Alice's Daughter |
| Sub-title: Lost Mission Child |
| By (author): Rhonda Collard-Spratt, Jacki Ferro |
| ISBN10-13: 1925302938 : 9781925302936 |
| My story is not about blame. It's about sharing history that belongs to all of Australia. I needed a push, but I am happy to finally give little Rhonda a voice, so that my words will live on after I leave this world. In 1954, aged three, Rhonda Collard-Spratt was taken from her Aboriginal family and placed on Carnarvon Native Mission, Western Australia. Growing up in the white world of chores and aprons, religious teachings and cruel beatings, Rhonda drew strength and healing from her mission brothers and sisters, her art, music and poetry, and her unbreakable bond with the Dreaming. This is the story of Rhondas search for culture and family as she faces violence, racism, foster families, and her fathers death in custody; one of the first deaths investigated as part of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Written in Rhonda's distinctive voice, Alices Daughter is fearless, compelling and intimate reading. Coupled with her vibrant and powerful paintings and poetry, Rhondas is a journey of sadness, humour, resilience and ultimately survival. |
