Notes
1. Milirrpum vs. Nabalco Pty Ltd (1971) 17 FLR 141. See Williams Citation1986 for more discussion.
2. A nephew of the very well known Aboriginal activist and leader Charles Perkins, Neville Perkins had family origins in the Alice Springs area, but had grown up down South and was a student at the University of Sydney.
3. The category ‘European’ was used particularly by whites to refer to themselves, as distinct from ‘Aboriginal’ people, and in that sense its primary referent was white Australians. The local Aboriginal English referred to ‘walypalas,’ as distinct from ‘blakpalas’ and (sometimes) ‘yellafellas’ or ‘half-castes.’
4. The book was R. Gould's Citation(1969) Yiwara: Foragers of the Australian Western Desert.
5. For a discussion of these problems with the exposure of secret material in paintings, see Kimber Citation1981, Citation1985, Citation1995; Myers Citation2002.
6. I have discussed these questions and criticisms in depth elsewhere, both as they relate to Aboriginal art and their sources in the discussion of ‘primitivism’ (see Myers Citation1991, Citation1994, Citation2002).
7. This is a concept I borrowed from Appadurai Citation(1986) and to some extent from Thomas Citation(1991).
8. In much of Central Australia, ‘business’ is the English word used to refer to ritual, marking at once its importance as a comparative value and its significance as a kind of productive activity.
