“…The government agency protocols examined in this study were clearly designed to reach agreements that would help to achieve mandated requirements to conduct cultural surveys, protect sites, meet national benchmarks and compensate or resource people for cultural heritage work. Cultural, rather than material, interests were those most easily ‘given over’ to Aboriginal interests, and may result from a perception that Aboriginal people need only undertake cultural activity related to their authentic Aboriginality such as dancing or gathering resources for artefacts (see Carter and Hollinsworth 2009).…”

“…The concept of an Aboriginal Australian community remains the orthodox one of a discrete, geographically and socially contained community, as often found in a remote area (Bauman and Williams 2004; Carter and Hollinsworth 2009). Yet even this notion of a ‘community’ in a remote area ignores the diversity and divisions that are expressed in a specific localised study area and social grouping (Bauman and Williams 2004; Lane and Corbett 2005).…”

“…Lane and Corbett (2005) describe both custodial claims to engagement in community‐based environmental management (CBEM), based on people's cultural knowledges and practices, and locational claims that are a result of the social and historical processes of removal to other places. Yet the dominant institutional discourse privileges traditional authority in managing the environment (Carter and Hollinsworth 2009).…”

Protocols, particularities, and problematising Indigenous ‘engagement’ in community‐based environmental management in settled Australia

Many Aboriginal Australians in regional and urban Australia hold attachments to their homelands that have been compromised by policies of removal and dispossession. Government agencies and community groups have ‘protocols’ for engaging with Aboriginal communities, but these protocols have been transferred from remote parts of Australia where land tenure and rights are relatively secure and people can readily claim their community of belonging. The efficacy and applicability of engagement protocols are rarely evaluated, and have not been evaluated with respect to the differing tenure regimes of settled Australia under which rights to land and its resources remain contested and unfolding. This paper describes research conducted in three study areas of regional Australia, where resource management practitioners apply projects according to engagement protocols transferred from remote Australia. Analysis of government and community‐based documents, and interviews with agency staff and Aboriginal people, identifies that genuine participation, cultural awareness, agreement‐making, appropriate representation and the unique place‐based factors affecting engagement remain key barriers to effective engagement with Aboriginal people by institutions in urbanising Australia. In particular, appropriate representation and a need for place‐based approaches emerge as critical to engagement in settled Australia. This paper recommends that engagement be considered as a multi‐layered approach in which generic ‘engagement’ threads are selected and re‐selected in different combinations to suit contexts, places and purposes. Thus each place‐based engagement initiative is not readily typified at the local scale, but taken together, make up a regional mosaic of different engagement structures and processes.

“…Pareils approfondissements nous semblent essentiels, car des questions plus larges quant aux territorialités des Innus et des Autochtones d'ici et d'ailleurs demeurent : Comment réellement concilier héritage traditionnel et valeurs néolibérales dans la participation à des projets de développement ? Les Autochtones sont‐ils contraints de demeurer les « protecteurs de la nature » pour ne pas perdre leur « authenticité » (Carter et Hollinsworth ) ? Est‐ce là le seul moyen de protéger parallèlement leur culture ?…”

Depuis 2009, les Innus de la communauté d'Ekuanitshit sur la Côte‐Nord au Québec sont confrontés à un mégaprojet hydroélectrique sur la rivière Romaine, partie intégrante du Nitassinan, leur territoire ancestral. Dans cet article, nous étudions les impacts du chantier sur le rapport tant matériel qu'idéel que les Innus entretiennent à la rivière. Nous explorons l'idée qu'il transforme le rapport traditionnel au territoire — marqué par un fort attachement identitaire et symbolique — en un rapport davantage utilitaire, dicté plutôt par des intérêts économiques et politiques. Notre analyse révèle que les territorialités des Innus, bien qu'elles se soient en partie transformées en s'ouvrant sur l'extérieur et l'altérité, demeurent ancrées dans un fort héritage culturel et une identification profonde au territoire. Nous avançons que ces conceptions différenciées en apparence, de traditions et de modernité, ne sont pas incompatibles. Elles composent des territorialités hybrides à la fois internes et externes, ancestrales et contemporaines, culturelles, sociales et politiques.

Exploring the role‐based challenges of providing culturally inclusive health care for maternal and child health nurses: Qualitative findings

Aims To explore how maternal and child health nurses (MCHNs) working in a specific regionally located service perceive and experience delivering health care to a diverse population. Design Qualitative exploratory study. Methods Qualitative interviews were conducted with MCHNs (N = 6) working in a particular regionally located service. Data were selectively coded, categorized and interpreted through a process of argument writing influenced by poststructuralist thought and Foucauldian conceptualizations of power. Results The data analysed were interpreted into the following categories: (a) system‐level expectations of the maternal and child health role; (b) what these system‐level expectations mean for the role and practice of MCHNs; and (c) what MCHNs themselves report prioritizing in their work. The analysis suggests that a substantial hindrance to the development and support of culturally safe, inclusive and quality maternal and child health care lies in the very ways contemporary health institutions seek to discipline the routine practices of MCHNs.
