Adjahdura Land Traditional Owners Group
|
Aboriginal
Community of Adjahdura Land
On this country there are: * Traditional Owners with cultural knowledge * Traditional Owners with very little cultural knowledge and * Non-Traditional Owners (broader Aboriginal community). Traditional Owners Group Formed The
Adjahdura Traditional Owners with cultural knowledge have banded together
to form the
Adjahdura Land Traditional Owners Group (ALTOG). The group was formed
to ensure that the Traditional Owners with cultural knowledge of
Adjahdura Land have a voice and an active role in shaping the future of
their country and people and speak out to protect our heritage and culture.
This group has been structured like a traditional group should be - not like a white fella corporation. And we pay tribute to our mothers Elaine Newchurch and Irene Agius who have passed away and fought hard before us and have taught us what we know. The group, throught the Adjahdura Narungga Heritage group have been very active in standing up for the rights of the Traditional Owners of Adjahdura Land. And should be consulted on all issues dealing with Adjahdura Land (Yorke Peninsula, South Australia), culture and heritage. In their first official statement as a group, the Adjahdura Land Traditional Owners Group states that it officially does not recognize the Narungga Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) - in a traditional way it was unlawful because of the way it was handled. The Narungga ILUA will not benefit the traditional owners - it has extinguish what little native title land right we have - and offers no protection for culture and heritage. Traditional Owners put up many objections to the ILUA but the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) have gone ahead and registered the ILUA anyway, without any consultation between the parties. Joining the Adjahdura Land Traditional Owners Group Joining the group is open to all Traditional Owners of Adjahdura Land with cultural knowledge of their country.
