Indigenous Governance
The Harvard Project on Native American Economic
Development and appropriate principles of governance
for Aboriginal Australia Excerpt...
" We must note that the first principle, sovereignty, is not as contentious a term
in North America as it is in Australia. The idea that some measure of sovereignty is
retained by indigenous nations in North America is commonplace and in some cases is
reflected in the law such as the different tax status that some North American Indian
communities enjoy. It is reflected also in ownership of resources such as timber, and in
AIATSIS Research Discussion Paper No. 17 9
self-governance arrangements in some areas, for instance in the operation of Native
American courts. Yet Australians are wary about importing this concept of sovereignty
from America into the Australian situation since there is substantial political sensitivity
attached to it. This has been evident in the current Australian government’s response to
the question of self-determination of indigenous peoples during debates over the draft
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. ‘Sovereignty’ in Australia, like ‘selfdetermination’, is glossed as ‘separatism’, another failed policy of the left-socialist past
(e.g. Hughes and Warrin 2005). In the current political climate, sovereignty, the word
rather than the concept is a back-lash trigger of some intensity (as are ‘racism’,
‘genocide’ and cultural rights in general). Where the Harvard work has been used in an
Australian context, the word ‘sovereignty’ has been dropped in favour of other
terminologies such as ‘political jurisdiction’ (Dodson and Smith 2003:9). The Harvard
studies in any case are not primarily concerned with the structural relationship that
indigenous peoples have with the state. Cornell and Kalt’s intention is to address the
control that people have over their own lives and the control that they have over the
activities that happen in their communities (e.g. Cornell and Kalt 1992:14-15; Cornell
2002:2, 4-5).
What Cornell and Kalt said is simply that, if people have control of decisionmaking over the activities that are going to happen on their lands, and some control over
the benefits of that activity, then they are likely to make much better decisions. The idea
of sovereignty as expressing political rights asserted by one group against another, and
so control over resources and territory, is as foreign to the Harvard studies as it is to
current Australian thinking. Cornell is correct, of course. Where people are asked to
make decisions without any real control, they may make extremely irresponsible
decisions because of lack of repercussion on the person making the decision; or they
make decisions with good will that are nevertheless ill-informed; or decisions may be
made by those who just don’t care one way or another. This is very common in
Australian Aboriginal communities that are continually subjected to ‘consultation’
about what they think about something that is about to happen, without any control over
whether it will happen (or, indeed, whether they think that something else ought to
happen). The results of consultation are inconsistent since those affected have no real
control over the course of the project or its outcomes.
What the Harvard project found is not surprising: Where people really feel that they
are able to have some effect on a proposal, and that the results of their decisions are
going to have some long-term effect on themselves, then they will think about it much
more seriously and will get better information about it. They probably also tend to take
more balanced and more conservative decisions. When that happens over a period of
time there is a ‘feedback loop’ of experience, where decision-makers learn from their
last decision and use that experience to make the next one. They get better and better at
understanding how to make good decisions. What Cornell and his co-researchers
propose is that, if external operators want to get good, balanced and productive
decisions out of Aboriginal communities, good for the external players as much as the
community itself, then they have to relinquish much external control to the communities
(Cornell and Kalt 1992:14-15; Begay and Kalt 2002:3-4; Cornell and Kalt 1998:29-30).
Clearly, that message goes down very well among indigenous groups in Australia. "

wow! well played : ) agree with that!
nothing is mutually exclusive, except in the minds of drones and pedants.
This is the latest yes campaign strategy: calling no voters stupid. And a good dose of anti-Australian sentiment thrown in there too. They can’t just make their case (because they don’t have one) , so they attack the opposition. It’s no surprise polls continue to go against them. Blaming everyone except themselves.
You don't like that i have an opposing view to yours and you don't like what a share (which is relevant) to this chat.
Bet you're fun at parties Southern or maybe you didn't get enough hugs as a kid.
That book would be interesting.
"This book is about civilisation’s discontents, those who have idealised people outside of civilisation, imagining they lead happy, fulfilling lives at peace with one another and in harmony with the world around them. For most of this time, romanticising this ‘other’ constituted one strand in the thick rope of Western thought and reflection and knowledge of the human heart. Today, however, romanticising the primitive dominates Australian intellectual and cultural life, becoming an obsession and virtually a religion. The once single fibre now constitutes almost the entire rope.
Romancing the Primitive: The Myth of the Ecological Aborigine traces the roots of this religion, surveying primitivism — the unending revolt of the civilised against civilisation — from Hesiod to Tacitus, from the Medieval Church to Montaigne, from Rousseau to the twentieth-century Australian environment movement and its apotheosis in the works of Henry Reynolds, Bill Gammage, Bruce Pascoe, and Peter Sutton.
Romancing the Primitive defends science against superstition and liberalism against thralldom, seeking to reinstate genuine intellectual inquiry and discovery and build debate on real information. Along the way, the narrative critically visits the Uluru statement, the High Court and education in Australian schools and universities."

Again more insults, but little from the keyboard warrior. What is it that you share?? Instagram posts?? You fucking kidding me? I've asked you 5times on here to justify your stance on how indigenous lives in Australia are on the improve, when clearly education attendance rates are dropping, and also incarceration rates continue to rise. Yet you flatly refuse to answer these questions.
That's called being an idiot, and someone who just wants to troll the conversation.
If anyone didn't get hugs as a kid, its the one that comes to an internet forum daily and looks to bait people engaging in a mostly civil discussion. A discussion mate. You should look up the definition of that.
I don't agree with alot of people, but i respect them for putting their thoughts out there.
How about you actually put some effort into some of your own thoughts you post on here.
This topic isn't just for a laugh, and i'm not here to make friends.
I'm here to rattle cages of people like yourself that are blase and don't respect the historical facts of this country and where it currently leaves our indigenous people.
Think about it.
@gsco, this is a great podcast that i think would be worth your time if you want a detailed perspective.
I definitely don't think you're an idiot, unlike some obvious exceptions on here, in fact i think you're the opposite of that, however i do get the feeling that your perceived political agenda behind all this is blocking you from being open to the people at the centre of this whole debate (not the politicians!)
This would be a great podcast for anyone who's undecided to listen to as well, as it contains timeline and facts that got us to this important decision.
Considering we hold the lives of so many in our hands when we vote yes or no, i think it's the least we can all do to give up one hour of our time to listen to this.
Cheers and hope you got some waves gsco. Bombing down here too.

yes i do harry and it's called racism...to prejudge someone by the colour of their skin or their accent and or their country of origin and i would say this reffo has added; to blame someone or race because of past sins (allegedly).
This shit pisses me off, imagine it flipped and the article was boomers urged to educate the young to vote No instead of Yes.
Ive said it so many times before but its such a battle of David and Goliath, every night on TV i see Yes camp ads one after another, but yet to see a no ad.
Where the fuck are these No campaign ads?
Just got a Yes pamphlet in the mail that went straight in the bin, the kunts are like cashed up religious nutters trying to convert everyone.
Im going to be so pissed off if the Yes camp somehow swings things only because they have so much money and basically buy it
I'll take a listen southernraw. btw I also read the longer cut-n-pastes you've done just above and a few pages ago, and it's what got me thinking about perceptions and intentions about self-determination.
And you're pretty perceptive. Standing in the carpark this morning (surf was great) I was thinking the same thing. I know I have a very anti-ALP agenda right now due to them ignoring basic economic solutions to inequality/cost of living/property affordability problems the nation faces, but I know there is more at stake with The Voice than my little tiff (even though the ALP should not be let off the hook with these failings).
basesix and harry have also said interesting things (although basesix is a complete enigma to me, and harry could be a little more polite).
I as much as anyone else on this planet want good outcomes for FNPs. There's real peoples' lives and welfare at stake.
Honestly yr a bigger idiot than burley... and that's saying something! Just imagine - if you can- that the Chinese did to us what our ancestors did to the blackfellas (and what continues to affect them)... just think about it kNObbo
Thomas Mayo is perhaps the worst of them all dodgy as all fk.
Cheers indo. Made me like him more!
People must be seeing by now just how toxic the No campaign is as are the kNObs running it... the absolute crazy lies and bullshit spewin from their deranged minds. It's really unbelievable... it's even crazier than the Mabo decision reactionaries...that was more outright racism. This is just pure crazy. So good seeing Albo steering a calm ship on these crazy seas... a true Statesman and diplomat... his single mum and housing trust roots have given his a genuine humility... unlike those nastyUgly privateskool racketeers of the Coalition. It's all so obvious!
Or could be a satirical website taking the piss 乁( •_• )ㄏ
I don’t watch much tv these days so haven’t seen any advertising. I did receive a no pamphlet today and got a bit of a laugh out of it , there is some funny shit in that pamphlet especially the “ will australia day be abolished ? People do realise that Wazza wants this to happen. He seems confused on what he does and doesn’t want , will this divide him & JP ? Don’t know if we will be the envy of the world if no gets up .

Well thats good news that No leaflet's are out there.
I probably shouldn't have been such a lazy bastard and signed up to help drop a few in my neighbourhood.
BTW. Had to laugh today, someone must have put up some big Yes signs in the local bus stop overnight, but by the arvo they both had a big No sprayed over the yes.
So you like lies and misinformation ? I can smell the fear .
What do you think is lies or misinformation on that leaflet you have provided?
You know what lies and misinformation is
When you try to claim adding another chapter to the constitution a race based body is a modest thing, its totally not.
When you claim a 26 page document is only one page, and the document is even on the Government website for all to see and even its creators are on record saying its more than one page
When you say it has nothing to do with Treaty when its made clear in the USFTH the process is Voice-Treaty-Truth telling, and even wears a T-shirt saying this,
Thats lies and misinformation..
The voice is their product that they are trying to sell to Australians, but how can anyone trust them when they are so full of shit?
The No camp aren't selling a product, they are just warning anyone looking to buy in, this product is dodgy, buyer beware.
@indo , what is the voice to parliament ? Does it have powers to change laws ? Or is it an advisory body to the government of the day ? What is the question on the ballot paper ? Don’t be blinded by fear and bullshit indo , vote yes .
I honestly wouldn't vote yes even if you bought me a return ticket to Indo.
I think Indo may have a better understanding of the constitution than supreme court judges do....!
[quote=indo-dreaming]I honestly wouldn't vote yes even if you bought me a return ticket to Indo.”
What about a one-way ticket to somewhere with no internet?
Antartica maybe?
Jokes Indo…

Goofyfoot. Gold, very clever, pissed myself laughing.
Sorry Indo, I know it’s at your expense, but you gotta admit that’s funny. How are you by the way ? Have you decided yet who you are voting for next weekend ? AW
Good on you mate and thanks for taking the time to reply. Alot of what u post is thought provoking which i enjoy. And i dont trust either party tio much at the moment bit ive tried to stay out of the party politics at play here and trust that this is bigger than that.
And dont worry, i question my own motives every day and repeatedly test whether my beliefs are flawed by continually reading, listening, learning, but time and time again my conviction for what is right and just is strengthened.
Glad the ocean served up the goods wberever you are at moment.
All good here AW, had a fun surf this arvo so it was a good way to end the working week.
You?
I’ll be voting yes, politics isn’t something I think about a lot (or ever) but in this case I just think it’s the right thing to do.
Have a good weekend

Stop getting into such a lather Indo.
Be more Micolino Locce not Milo Kerrigan.
I know you’ll flip and vote Yes. You don’t have to tell us though.

Goofyfoot. Hi. Glad you got wet. I’m well,
I’ve being doing some carpentry work on my almost completed fully plywood kitchen, mostly made from recycled timber except for plywood sheets.
I just wish this referendum goes in the favour of those who deserve this the most, because I simply can’t believe how politicised the whole thing has become, no surprise, it was totally manifested by Dutton, with only sinister thoughts in mind.
Have a good weekend with your family. AW
‘ I just wish this referendum goes in the favour of those who deserve this the most…’
- agree AW, that’s what this is really about… and a sentiment some need to discover. Sometimes the loudest in the room don’t have anything of substance to say. All talk ;)

Nah don’t think so
Where is John Clarke right at this pivoting moment in time?
Taken too soon, for he had a way to get a message across that was so on point, offering the listener a coherent and just clarification of most situations. The undercurrent agendas schemed by the calculating and cunning architects/polies were identified and exposed, in a matter of moments, were put on the table for open viewing. Whether his verdict was fact or fiction, I reckon he would have got it right for us if he were still here.
But you know, that brilliance that John had, is available to us also, in our own special way, we’re just going to have to dig deep, the ingenuity resides in all of us, whether you are a Yes or a No voter, there is a way to solve this dilemma we are faced with.
The current huge divide of opinions is bizarre and getting worse by the day and I cannot believe the conspiracy theories that some people (on both sides but mainly the No side ha!) are actually taking on and believing! To the point of aggressively pushing it onto others to beware that NATO and WHO will take our sovereignty (as an example). Including reciting ridiculous untruths as real from that despicable and horrid right wing news channel.
I’m getting opposition from friends and colleagues and asking them WTF are you on about? Hey what? Nah can’t be!
But on the flip side it’s also true there are some unsavory people behind this Yes campaign that I have just been made aware of. Looked it up, its true not a good record has she, but this vote for the voice is not about her it is about the voice for all FNP.
As for Briggs and AB Original. These guys are just great artists and FNP coincidentally not. Radical in some of their vids, confronting yes, but they are artists, it is their expression, they have pain, they have licence, they want to express it and send that message out there that the FNP have been treated as they have by the directions and dictatorship of the current and consecutive Governments of the day, and in no uncertain ways, they are justified to express themselves in this way.
Agendas are at play for completely different reasons, we just have to work it out what is right and just. We have to find that perfect balanced formula that puts the whole thing into perspective, and quick, we are down now to 7 days away to vote. Put away the untruths, report on fact and fact only.
This is a situation that will benefit or it will detract the livelihoods for all persons occupying this land but it also relates to the Fauna and Flora that we rely on so much for our wellness and our own survival. Life is so diverse, it has its time of abundance and voids. John would have put it right, whichever way but usually always the just and correct way.
Great stuff @reform.
And here you go...
