11.01.2022 4 organisations supporting First Nations women and girls to work in STEM Thanks for the mention, Vogue Australia "According to Dean Foley, the founder of Baramayal, the best way to support Indigenous entrepreneurship is to support grassroots First Nations organisations who are already doing the work instead of trying to do it yourself. ... Baramayal is named after the black swan, whose very existence shook the beliefs of European settlers. It’s a registered charity which works to promote Indigenous entrepreneurship through community building, but also an Indigenous accelerator program it describes as a world first. Foley started his career in the RAAF but became interested in entrepreneurship and was struck by the lack of entrepreneurial Indigenous role models. He believes Indigenous entrepreneurship is the high growth and high impact solution that will help close the disparity and opportunity gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Baramayal’s programs include virtual and in-person accelerator programs, mentoring, and school-based coding programs for First Nations students." https://www.vogue.com.au//news-story/83bf5d23a2d75133f4a78

06.01.2022 It has long been assumed that Indigenous Australia was isolated until Europeans arrived in 1788, except for trade with parts of present day Indonesia beginning ...at least 300 years ago. But our recent archaeological research hints of at least an extra 2,100 years of connections across the Coral Sea with Papua New Guinea.. Over the past decade, we have conducted research in the Gulf of Papua with local Indigenous communities.. During the excavations, the most common archaeological evidence found in the old village sites was fragments of pottery, which preserve well in tropical environments compared to artefacts made of wood or bone. As peoples of the Gulf of Papua have no known history of pottery making, and the materials are foreign, the discovered pottery sherds are evidence of trade. This pottery began arriving in the Gulf of Papua some 2,700 years ago, according to carbon dating of charcoal found next to the sherds. This means societies with complex seafaring technologies and widespread social connections operated at Australia’s doorstep over 2,500 years prior to colonisation. Entrepreneurial traders were traversing the entire south coast of PNG in sailing ships. There is also archaeological evidence that suggests early connections between PNG and Australia’s Torres Strait Islands. Fine earthenware pottery dating to 2,600 years ago, similar in form to pottery arriving in the Gulf of Papua around that time, has been found on the island of Pulu. Rock art on the island of Dauan further to the north depicts a ship with a crab claw-shaped sail, closely resembling the ships used by Indigenous traders from PNG. It is hard to imagine that Australia, the Torres Strait and PNG’s south coast were not connected. The region termed the ‘Coral Sea Cultural Interaction Sphere’ where archaeology is gradually uncovering evidence of ancient interconnections. Author provided The trade itself was quite remarkable. When British colonists arrived in Port Moresby (now the capital of PNG) in 1873, some 130 kilometres from the start of the Gulf of Papua to the west, they wrote in astonishment of the industrial scale of pottery production for maritime trade by Indigenous Motu communities. Each year, Motu women would spend months making thousands of earthenware pots. Meanwhile the men built large trading ships, called lakatoi, by lashing together several dugout hulls. The ships measured 15-20 metres long and had woven sails in the shape of crab claws. In October and November, Motu men would load the pots into the ships and sail west towards the rainforest swamplands of the Gulf of Papua. The trade on which they embarked was known as hiri. The voyages were perilous, and lives were sometimes lost in the waves. See more
