23.01.2022 On Conversations About Recognition, we love gaining a bit more insight into our guests by asking them to choose a song or piece of music. And today may be the first time we've had a listener moved to tears. Thanks Heather for calling in to let us know how much you loved the music choice of our guest Honourable Justice Sulan, judge in the South Australian Supreme Court. Dvorak's O Lovely Silvery Moon... wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MB8LkYw-E4

22.01.2022 We carry in our hearts the true country And that cannot be stolen We follow in the steps of our ancestry And that cannot be broken... 2015 will mark 30 years since the handback of Uluru to Traditional Owners. It was a symbolic high-point for land rights in Australia. In 1986, Midnight Oil were commissioned to write a song for the Traditional Owners of Uluru. It was The Dead Heart. The song features in the documentary Uluru: an Anangu story which plays constantly at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre. Listen back to our chat with former Oils lead singer Peter Garrett as he reflects on that time, and what it meant to the band to be a part of such a significant event: https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/peter-garrett-part-1/ And in case you forgot, The Dead Heart lives here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16bFBzx7I_0

22.01.2022 What do you see when you look up at the night sky? Is that a cross or a stingray? A saucepan, a claw of an eagle or a group of men hunting? While we might be looking at the same constellations their names, meanings, and stories are unique to different cultural groups around the world. So lets look to the starsthis is ethno-astronomy. ... Paul Curnow has been a lecturer at the Adelaide Planetarium since 1992 and is regarded as one of the worlds leading authorities on Australian Aboriginal night sky knowledge. He joined Conversations About Recognition to talk about the relevance of this knowledge for Aboriginal groups in South Australia, how it is being preserved, and what it can teach all of us when we consider our sense of place and identity. Check out Aboriginal Skies on Facebook too https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/paul-curnow-astronomer/

20.01.2022 When you look up at the night sky what do you see? Is that a cross or a stingray? The claw of an eagle or a group of men hunting? Even though we're looking at the same constellations their names, meanings, and stories are unique to different cultural groups around the world. Today on Conversations we're looking to the stars with Paul Curnow to learn about Aboriginal Skies. Join us at 2pm on Radio Adelaide ... https://radio.adelaide.edu.au//conversations-about-recogn/

20.01.2022 Dick Kimber is a bit of a legend around Alice Springs. He drove up the Stuart Highway from Adelaide in 1970 to teach English, history and social studies at Alice Springs High School. Dick's a much called upon local historian; since 1980 hes undertaken significant historical and cultural research in Central Australia and published hundreds of essays and articles. He joined Marnie Round on Conversations About Recognition to reflect on his life and learnings in the red centre, ...the role of sport in communities, and what The Alice was like all those years ago. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/dick-kimber/

19.01.2022 [Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following film clips may contain footage of deceased persons] Every week we give our guests the chance to choose a song... a song that has real meaning for them, that has made them think about recognition, identity and Australia's past and present. And boy they've picked some corkers in the last year...... Here are some of the most popular picks from our guests on Conversations About Recognition

16.01.2022 It's always humbling hearing the stories of a humble person. Yesterday we were joined on Conversations About Recognition by the Honourable Justice Sulan, SA Supreme Court judge. During his career, Justice Sulan has chaired the Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Committee for the Judiciary, the Courts Aboriginal Reference Group in South Australia, the Law Society of SAs Indigenous Law Students Mentoring Program, while serving as a member of the National Indigenous Cultural Aware...ness Committee. Speaking with Dwayne Coulthard, he reflects on his legal career as well as his childhood as a post-war migrant from Czechoslovakia. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/honourable-justice-john-sula/

16.01.2022 We hit the road to take the yarns to Port Augusta, the traditional home of the Nukunu and Bungarla peoples. A big thanks to the staff at Umeewarra Aboriginal Media 89.1fm. Here we are with Umeewarra CEO Vince Coulthard and staff members Samantha Lee and Gayle Mather.

16.01.2022 What we love about talking to so many people on this show is hearing the diverse perspectives on what recognition can mean to different people. This can be at a personal and community level, but also in considering more structural proposals around legal recognition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia's Constitution. What do you think? What does recognition mean for you? And if thinking about the big picture stuff, do you think constitutional change is ...where it's at, or is treaty or sovereignty? And who exactly should be making these decisions? http://www.theguardian.com//indigenous-australians-want-tr

15.01.2022 Tonight the Australia Council for the Arts will recognise Gary Foley with the Red Ochre Award, which acknowledges lifetime achievement in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts at a national and international level.

15.01.2022 Because music is important. https://www.facebook.com/SaveCASMCentreAboriginalStudiesinMusic

15.01.2022 So much has been written and spoken in the last couple of weeks. And sometimes the things that need to be said are best done through music. Like the Australian musicians before them who havent been afraid to stand up and be counted, this is the song weve been waiting for in this disgraceful time in Australias history. And we must not continue to call it by any other name. ... Horrorshow Urthboy Jimblah Thelma Plum - thank you. https://soundcloud.com//horrorshow-any-other-name-feat-jim

14.01.2022 "It really pains me as a sovereign person, for anyone to consider putting me into a foreign constitution I'll say it loud and I'll say it clear. I have a constitution. A constitution that is some thousands of years old. A constitution that cannot be battered by feudal assaults on humanity." National NAIDOC Person of the Year for 2015 is Rosalie Kunoth-Monks. Enigmatic as she is inspiring, listen back to her yarn with us on Conversations About Recognition. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/aunty-rosalie-kunoth-monk-ar/

14.01.2022 Here's a little hint that might give you some idea about who we've got on the show next week.... :)

14.01.2022 Port Augusta's newspaper is called The Transcontinental - what a great name for a media outlet at the crossroads of the nation. Here's their article about our Conversations About Recognition trip to PA last week, with pix at Umeewarra Aboriginal Media 89.1fm

12.01.2022 Listen back to our recent 2-part conversation with Jeff McMullen. Jeff has been a journalist, author and filmmaker for 50 years; most recognisably in long-running positions as ABC foreign correspondent and reporter for Four Corners and 60 Minutes. He has written, filmed and campaigned around the the world to improve the health, educations and human rights of Indigenous people, and strongly advocated against the forced assimilation and abuse of human rights of First Nations pe...oples everywhere. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/jeff-mcmullen-part-1/

12.01.2022 Oops all's been quiet on this western facebook front :) But of course we haven't been quiet on the radio...there's so much to discuss when it comes to recognition, adn so many voices and perspectives that need to be heard! Coming up this Thursday at 2pm on Radio Adelaide we're chatting with Jimblah... Don't forget, wherever you are across Australia you can hear us through the national community radio network too! ... And catch up on all the yarns on our podcast page https://radio.adelaide.edu.au//conversations-about-recogn/

11.01.2022 On Conversations About Recognition we share the many and perspectives of what recognition means to different people. And ultimately, some support the push for a referendum to change the Australian Constitution to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and some don't. What's your view? Here are survey results released yesterday by #IndigenousX on the constitutional recognition discussion. ... "Certainly, from the findings of this independent, non-funded, community-driven online survey, there seems to be little substance to the claim from Recognise that 87% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people would vote yes for Constitutional Recognition". http://indigenousx.com.au/constitutional-recognition-survey/

10.01.2022 Bit confused as to how some of Australia's greatest politically driven songs and what the bands behind them stood for can be misinterpreted and misused so fantastically. http://www.news.com.au//midni/story-e6frfn09-1227455623150

10.01.2022 On last week's show we were joined by the inimitable former lead singer of Midnight Oil, Peter Garrett. In this two-part interview he reflects on the friendship and influence of Warumpi Band; the famous Sydney Olympics Sorry Suits; and the Oils' iconic Diesel and Dust album, which, nearly 30 years on is still just as socially and politically pertinent. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/peter-garrett-part-1/

06.01.2022 Peter Garrett's just released his memoir Big Blue Sky... and over the last couple of weeks on Conversations we've revisited our 2-part chat with him - on the iconic Midnight Oil album Diesel & Dust, the 1985 Uluru handback, and his connection to central Australia. Tune in for more Conversations About Recognition at 2pm Thursdays on Radio Adelaide and don't forget we're broadcasting across Australia on Friday's via the national Community Radio Network. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/peter-garrett-former-midnigh/

04.01.2022 Congratulations to Tauto Sansbury who was presented with the national National NAIDOC Lifetime Achievement Award last week, for his commitment to Aboriginal advocacy. It was our great pleasure to chat with Tauto on Conversations About Recognition in 2014. Take a listen here: https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/tauto-sansbury-elderactivist/

03.01.2022 Treaty for a new generation. And done with much respect. Deadly.

03.01.2022 "I may be overly sensitive. I may see insult where none is intended. Maybe my position of relative success and privilege today should have healed deep scars of racism and the pain of growing up Indigenous in Australia. The same could be said of Adam. And perhaps that is right. But this is how Australia makes us feel." If there is one article you read among all the noise... http://www.theguardian.com//i-can-tell-you-how-adam-goodes

02.01.2022 Listen back to our chat with Gerry Georgatos, whose work on Suicide Prevention and tireless human rights campaigning around homelessness, fighting racism and discrimination, and strengthening freedom of speech, is nothing but inspiring. He writes for The Stringer and National Indigenous Times and reports for NIRS - National Indigenous Radio Service, bringing a wealth of knowledge surrounding some of the most sensitive subjects in relation to Aboriginal people. https://radio.adelaide.edu.au/gerry-georgatos/

02.01.2022 On last week's show we were joined by the awesome Mau Power - the Torres Strait's first hip hop artist to produce and release music. In this two part interview we talk about keeping culture strong, the importance of the Torres Strait Islands flag, collaborating with Archie Roach, and the significance of the anthemic Australian song My Island Home....
