Early policemen and trackers Summary On 23 August 1966, approximately 200 Gurindji stockmen and their families walked off Wave Hill Station in the Northern Territory, protesting against poor working conditions and the taking of their land by pastoralists. Led by Vincent Lingiari, this land-mark action in 1966 precipitated the equal wages case in the pastoral industry and the establishment of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. While it is well known that the Walk Off was driven by the poor treatment of Aboriginal workers, what is less well known is the previous decades of massacres and killings, stolen children and other abuses by early colonists as well as (some) classic pre-contact stories. Told in both English and Gurindji these compelling and detailed oral accounts of the events that Gurindji elders either witnessed or heard from their parents and grandparents, will ignite the interest of audiences nationally and internationally and challenge revisionist historians who question the extent of frontier battles and the legitimacy of the Stolen Generations Analysis Australian Notes "Historical accounts by Dandy Danbayarri, Ronnie Wavehill, Violet Wadrill, Banjo Ryan, Biddy Wavehill Yamawurr, Topsy Dodd Ngarnjal, Peanut Pontiari, Maurie Ryan, Vincent Lingiari, Jimmy Manngayarri, Blanche Bulngari and Pincher Nyurrmiari"--Title page Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-242) and index Notes © Gurindji people 2016 Text in English and Gurindji language Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed July 12, 2017) Subject Gurindji (Australian people) -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station -- Treatment of Gurindji (Australian people) -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station -- History Aboriginal Australians, Treatment of -- Australia -- Northern Territory Aboriginal Australians -- Land tenure -- Australia -- Northern Territory -- History Strikes and lockouts -- Northern Territory -- Wave Hill Station -- Cattle trade Art, Aboriginal Australian -- Australia -- Northern Territory Gurindji (Australian people) -- History Waringari language (A63) (WA SF52-02) Waringari people (A63) (WA SF52-02) Gurindji people (C20) (NT SE52-08) Occupations - Pastoral industry workers Law enforcement - Police trackers Ceremonies - Rain making History - Biographies - Indigenous - Autobiographies Indigenous knowledge - Tracking Law enforcement - Police - Native police Stories and motifs - Mermaids Land rights - Pastoral industry Land rights - Land acquisition Sites - Historical Art - Painting Settlement and contacts - Afghans Social behaviour - Violence Ceremonies - Initiation Child welfare - Child / parent separation - Stolen generations Social identity - Mixed descent Settlement and contacts - Resettlement and removals Race relations - Violent - Massacres, murders, poisonings etc. - 1901- Food - Bush tucker Settlement and contacts - Explorers - European Race relations - Violent - Massacres, murders, poisonings etc. - To 1900 Literature and stories Economic sectors - Agriculture and horticulture - Pastoral industry - Beef cattle Environment - Climate and weather - Floods Buildings - Public - Police stations Feuds and warfare HISTORY -- Australia & New Zealand.
