[recoznet2] AAP: Aboriginal suffering extreme, says report
Aboriginal suffering extreme, says report AAP -- Australia's Aborigines suffer levels of trauma usually found only among people who are systematically tortured, subjected to genocide or sent to concentration camps, according to a government report released today. The report says almost two thirds of patients who seek treatment at the country's Aboriginal medical services either have mental disorders or are psychologically distressed. The study of mental health in Australia was prepared by the Federal Health Department and the nation's leading statistical health research body, the Institute of Health and Welfare. The severity of problems Aboriginal people endure is comparable only to the most extreme circumstances, it said. "In studies of non-indigenous communities, the extent of such traumatic separation, loss, abuse, dislocation and dehumanization can only be found in populations subjected to systematic torture, genocide, concentration camps or urban or family violence," the report said. It is one of three background papers prepared for federal, state and territory health ministers to help set Australia's health strategies. The papers cover not only of Australia's 353,000 Aborigines but also other groups in the nation's population of some 18.8 million people. The report follows recent criticism of conservative Prime Minister John Howard's government by the United Nations for restricting Aboriginal land rights. In March, the U.N. Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination accused the Howard government of introducing racially discriminatory land laws which ignore the rights of Aborigines. --- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words:unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."

Re: [recoznet2] Scathing review

Trudy Ahh! nothing like being savaged by the Times art critics to assure a major public success! I liked the line: "The choreography favours unison movement staggered across the stage like a chorus line lifted from MTV. Each scene has its own single motif, is totally self-contained and is separated from the next by a blackout." I'm sure Allen Robertson has absolutely no knowledge of such things, but this is exactly the way that most "authentic" ceremonial performances are presented. Sometimes you actually wait a day or more between each segment! Kooris had been doing it that way for a long time before MTV came on the season, and will probably be doing so for a loing time after it has disappeared! Then there was the observation that: "After the entire cast comes together for another unison group scene The Dreaming stops. It doesn't end, doesn't reach a finale. It just stops. Still, much of the audience whooped its appreciation." Again, of course, this simply often happens in the "authentic" version of the stuff. And that naughty audience! They liked it! Just goes to show the inability of the population to understand the essence of art criticism. If you can't blather, then slander! I always like the juxtaposition of the "I don't like it , so it can't be art" from the critics with the "if it's art, I don't like it" line from some other sections of the community! Sounds like Bangarra must have got the show just about perfect!

Re: [recoznet2] End of thread. ( a future reference for those interested)
I agree totally Trudy, I aplogise for bringing it up in the first place...didnt realise how muchI would be attacked ...ah well...just goes to show how open people are to having difference as a positive thing. Anyway it would be good to get back on track which its seems to be doing. Trudy if anyone wants to take any of those malistic type conversations with me without sitting in judgement can you refer them to this site: at http://www.egroups.com/list/masculinity-lives/ which is discussion list for issues of masculinity that way it wont interfer with what this discussion is all about. Once again I apologise for bringing up the issue of gender on this newsgroup discussion list.

I think the 'males', 'colourful words', etc. thread has reached the point where it is beginning to circle back on itself and it is time to drop it. As has been mentioned, this is a forum for discussion of Indigenous issues and while that is very broad, when a discussion reaches the point where it is no longer concerned with that but becomes a stand-off by entrenched positions and pet peeves, then it is time to call a halt. We have reached the point where no-one is learning anything new and we are off-topic and flirting with bad feelings for no good reason. With everyone's cooperation we can now concentrate on what we are here for.

[recoznet2] Interesting Canadian News Item
Interesting Canadian item From the CNEWS site at http://www.canoe.com:80/TopStories/dogrib_aug3.html Cheers Rod Tuesday, August 3, 1999 Negotiators recommend Ottawa accept $90 million land claim deal RAE LAKES, N.W.T. (CP) -- Government and aboriginal negotiators are expected to initial an agreement next Monday that would give a northern First Nation $90 million and title to 39,000 square kilometres in the Northwest Territories. Initialling the agreement means negotiators recommend it form the basic shape of a final treaty. The agreement, reached in Ottawa June 11, affects about 3,000 Dogrib living in four communities in the North Slave region, which stretches from the Mackenzie Valley eastward to the central Northwest Territories. As well as money, the Dogrib would also get mineral rights to the land covered by the treaty, which is adjacent to the area now producing diamonds. The Dogrib would also receive a share of resource revenues derived from the Mackenzie Valley. The agreement also lays out the framework for Dogrib self-government -- the first northern land claim to do so. Federal law would prevail over Dogrib law and Dogrib law would prevail over territorial law. Land covered by the claim has been extensively staked for mining. Existing claims will be honoured under the new agreement and will continue to be administered by the federal government. The four communities -- Rae-Edzo, Snare Lake, Rae Lakes and Lac la Martre -- would be governed by chief and council. While the chief must be a Dogrib, seats on council would be open to all. Members of those communities begin discussing the agreement immediately after the initialling at the Dogrib general assembly in Rae Lakes. They will vote on it later. If it's approved, the federal and territorial governments and the Dogrib will begin hammering out a final agreement. Tuesday's appointment of Robert Nault as minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, replacing Jane Stewart, is not expected to affect the initialling. Negotiations on the agreement began in 1994. The Dogrib have also signed benefits agreements with both diamond miners operating in the area, BHP Minerals and Diavik Diamonds.
