Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an inquiry into the possibility of Aboriginal autonomy under the regime of a state policy which commands self determination. Debate about policy has been dominated by Western scientific, political and professional knowledge, which is challenged by indigenous paradigms grounded in the Dreaming. A recognition of the role of paradox leads me to an attempt at reconciliation between the old and the new Australian intellectual traditions. The thesis advances the theory of internal colonialism by identifying self-determination as its current phase. During more than 200 years of colonial history the relationship between Aborigines and the state has been increasingly contradictory. The current policy of self-determination is a political paradox. Aboriginal people must either conform to the policy by disobeying it, or reject the policy in obedience to it. Through the policy of self-determination the state constructs a relationship of dependent autonomy with Aboriginal people. In a two-year (1994-95) action research project Kitya Aboriginal Health Action Group was set up to empower a local community to establish an Aboriginal health service despite opposition from the Government Health Service. In collaboration with local general practitioners and volunteers the action group opened a health centre. After the end of formal field work government funding and support for the health service was granted. The project illustrated the paradox of dependent autonomy. What appeared as successful community development was not development, and what appeared as destructive factionalism was empowering. Strategies for change made use of contradictions and paradoxes within the state. As an innovation in the practice of social change, the thesis begins the construction of a model for indigenous community action for self-determination in health.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a seminal in-depth study of how non-indigenous writers and illustrators construct Aboriginal childhood in children's fiction from 1841-1998 and focuses not only on what these say about Aboriginal childhood but also what they neglect to say, what they gloss over and what they elide. This study probes not only the construction of aboriginal childhood in children's fiction, but explores the slippage between the lived and imagined experiences which inform the textual and illustrative images of non-Aboriginal writers. This study further contends that neo-colonial variations on the themes informing these images remain part of Australian children's fiction. Aboriginal childhood has played a limited but telling role in Australian children's literature. The very lack of attention to Aboriginal children in Australian children's fiction - white silence - is resonant with denial and self-justification. Although it concentrates on constructions of aboriginal childhood in white Australian children's fiction, this study highlights the role that racial imagery can play in any society, past or present by securing the unwitting allegiance of the young to values and institutions threatened by the forces of change. By examining the image of the Other through four broad thematic bands or myths - the Aboriginal child as the primitive; the identification of the marginalised and as the assimilated and noting the essential similarities that circulate among the chosen texts, this study attempts to reveal how pervasive and controlling the logic of racial and national superiority continues to be. By exploring the dissemination of images of Aboriginal childhood in this way, this study argues that long-lived distortions and misconceptions will become clearerDoctor of Philosophy (Literature)

Full textAbstract:
As part of an investigation into traditional Australian Aboriginal bush medicine a range of Acacia species have been examined. Several species have been reported to be utilised for the preparation of antimicrobial washes and lotions by Aboriginal tribes. Initial bioactivity screening focussed on antimicrobial activity of the polar/and or non-polar extracts of air dried plant material, and a range of interesting activity has been found. Specifically, of the 94 extracts of Acacia species screened, five showed activity against the fungus C.albicans, 47 showed activity showed activity against the gram positive bacteria S.aureus and five showed activity against the gram negative bacteria E.coli. A retrosynthetic analysis and total synthesis of the novel anisidine alkaloid isolated from Acacia trineura was attempted. A variety of methodologies to generate the lithiate of anisidine and subsequently trap with an appropriate electrophile were attempted. While the results only indicated which methods were appropriate, they did give strong leads for future work in this directionDoctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
Foucault (1996) argued that modern Western history was an invention of nineteenth century Europe and based on linearity, teleology and historicity. Hence the written history and culture of Aboriginal people in Australian has largely been seen through a similar principle as detailed in Chakrabarty’s (2007) ‘provincialising Europe,’ which is through master narratives. My dissertation addresses the question of who the Woppaburra of the Central Queensland region were culturally and historically. The pre-existing Western narrative tells a story of a submissive people studied, described and analysed with a strong colonial discursive approach. In contrast, I have used the ‘counter-narrative’ that Freeman (2004) considered to be the “culturally rooted aspects of one’s history” that are yet to be uncovered (p.298). The lens through which I viewed the counter narrative was through Indigenous research methodology considered part of Indigenous Standpoint Theory (IST). The history and culture of the Woppaburra have been exhumed through the data collected as described in Yins (2009) case study method. I have used Yin’s (2009) multiple data sources as evidence for this study. These data are Western documentation and archival records alongside the voices of Elders in interviews, direct observation at ‘on-country’ meetings and festivals, and physical artefacts which show a cultural representation of totems. A significant artefact is a length of plaited Woppaburra hair which is a biological remnant of the people under study. The Woppaburra believe it holds the memories of ancestors, story lines and healing properties. These data sources have shown that the Western text does not indicate personal stories of traditional practices, attachment to country and the centrality of totems to the Woppaburra. These data have been collectively analysed and findings presented through photographs, artwork and text. The findings from a plethora of documents demonstrate that in government archival records, public newspapers and anthropological photographs, the Woppaburra were used as items of interest, targets of punitive shooting parties, objects of slave labour and a people to be relocated at the whim of protectors. Interviews with Elders and limited anthropological papers give an alternate perspective of a people strongly connected to their natural homelands. The conclusions indicated that although the Woppaburra have been treated harshly, dispossessed of their homeland and denigrated culturally, they retained strong connections with their traditional homeland. In one sense they continue caring for their homeland through partnerships with local, state and national agencies set up by the surrounding culture but in a deeper sense, today they maintain their dreamings and cycle of life through stories and cultural traditions. The connection to country across time for the Woppaburra is that, traditionally and today, they see their world through totems, ancestors and intergenerational narratives.

Full textAbstract:
Undernutrition in prevalent in Aboriginal communities, in utero, infancy and childhood. It influences childhood morbidity and mortality and growth patterns. Undernutrition and poor socio-economic status also contribute to endemic and epidemic infectious disease, including scabies and streptococcal infection. It has been suggested that early undernutrition, and streptococcal and scabies infection are risk factors for renal disease, which is at epidemic levels and increasing. This thesis examines the prevalence of undernutrition in newborns and infants in an Aboriginal community over time, and its impact on childhood growth and child and adult renal markers. The association between skin lesions, streptococcal serology, post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) and renal markers as evaluated through a community wide screening program in 1992-1995 is also examined. Birthweights have increased since the 1960s, but they are still much lower than the non-Aboriginal values. Weights in infancy have decreased since the 1960s. At screening in childhood stunting was common, reflecting the presence of long-term poor nutrition in infancy. In both adults and children, birth weight and infant weights were negatively associated with albuminuria measured by the albumin to creatine ratio (ACR).

Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to trace the meaning of the word ‘genocide’ in its use in the Australian context. Adopting an historical contextualist approach. the study finds that ‘genocide’ emerged in 1959, in the assimilation critique of Stanley F. Davey, where it was used to condemn the perceived psychological effects of assimilation policy upon Aborigines as an emergent social collectivity. This idea of ‘genocide’ was predominant in Australian discourse throughout the 1960s and 1970s, gaining recognition as ‘the Aboriginal perspective’. As such, it encountered the obstacle of European Australians who maintained an objective understanding of Aboriginal identity, contained in visions of both ‘assimilation’ and ‘integration’. I examine the case of Tasmanian discourse history, where these two perspectives on Aboriginality and ‘genocide’ came into direct conflict over the claim of Tasmanians’ extinction. The study concludes by raising the question of how scholars may approach the identification and discussion of this Aboriginal concept of identity genocide in a scholarly context, given that its meaning is predicated on subjective historical experiences and feelings.

(1992) The bureaucratic construction of Aborigines: A textual and discourse analysis. Honours thesis, Murdoch University, 1992. https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/53721/.
Full textAbstract:
Many discourses contribute to the definition of 'the Aborigine' including anthropology, sociology, media, health, statistics, etc. This dissertation explores the way the bureaucratic discourse has constructed the 'Aborigine' rendering them bureaucratically intelligible, and facilitating their control. A study of three Department of Native Affairs files of the 1940's, reveals a 'documentary reality' which is read as a 'situational reality'.
Informed by the values, morality and mores of the Judaeo/Christian protestant ethic, the bureaucracy of the 1940's constructed the Aborigine to reflect these norms. Instances of this are highlighted in the files studied. To reveal the white construction of Aboriginality, theories of 'documentary reality' and discourse analysis are applied to the texts, enabling a deconstruction and exposure of the manner in which this construction was maintained. Also demonstrated is the confining and regulating nature of the bureaucracy.
Whilst these texts were authored some forty five years ago, they bear an uncanny resemblance to present day events. Bureaucratic intervention in negotiations for mining rights continues to indicate a "big brother" attitude founded on racist values. Suggestions are made as to how the bureaucratic/Aboriginal dichotomy may be remedied.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on fieldwork I carried out between December 1987 and June 1989 while living with the residents of a small Warlpiri Outstation Community situated ca. 75 km north-west of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Colonialism is a process whereby incommensurate gender regimes impact differently on women and men and this is reflected in the indigenous response which affects the socialization of Western things.
The notion of the indigenous KIRDA-KURDUNGURLU reciprocity is shown to be consistent with a gender system and to articulate all exchange relations as pro-creative social relationships. This contrasts with the Western capitalist system of production and social reproduction of gendered individuals in that it does not ascribe gender to biological differences between women and men but is derived from a land based social division between Sister-Brother.
Social relationships are put under great strain in an effort to socialize Western things for Warlpiri internal use,
I argue that the colonization of Aboriginal societies is an ongoing process. Despite the historical shift from a physical all-male frontier to the present day cross-cultural negotiations between Aborigines and Non-Aborigines, men still privilege men. The negotiation process for ownership of a Community Toyota is the most recent phenomenon where this can be observed. Male privilege is established by linking control over the access to the Community Toyota with traditional rights to land.
However, the Toyota as Western object has a Western gender identity as well. By pitting women against men it engages people in social conflict which is brought into existence through an organisation of Western concepts based on an alien gender regime.
But Western things, especially the Community Toyota, resist socialization because the Warlpiri do not produce these things. Warlpiri people know this and, to satisfy their need for Western things, they engage them in a process of social differentiation. By this process they can be seen actively to maintain the Western system in an effort to maintain themselves as Warlpiri and to secure the production of Western things.
This investigation of the cultural response to Western influences shows that indigenous gender relations are only maintained through a socially stressful process of socializing Western things.

Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1997. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.245216.
Full textAbstract:
In the past fire ecology literature in the tropics has focused mostly on the role of fire within the savanna biome. The fire ecology of tropical wetlands has been largely neglected. This thesis attempts to redress this imbalance by examining the fire behaviour of the wetlands in Kakadu National Park, northern Australia. Wetland burning has become a critical management issue in the Park, particularly since the eradication of the feral Asian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis Linnaeus) from the Park. Fuel loads, which had been previously suppressed by grazing and trampling, have increased substantially, and this has subsequently affected the fire ecology of the region. This thesis investigates aspects of fire ecology in the Mclaleucafloodplain communities of Kakadu. It examines Aboriginal people's contemporary use and knowledge of fire, as well as the fire behaviour and impact of fires both set by Aboriginal people and from other sources of ignition. In addition, a 'Wetland Burning Index' (WBI) is compiled in order to examine some of the interactions between wetland fuel, weather and fire behaviour. A range of ecological and ethnoecological methodologies are employed in order to measure fire behaviour in situ rather than approximating specific fire regimes under experimental conditions. The thesis assesses the effectiveness and practicability of these methods. A description of wetland fire behaviour is also given, and includes a range of fire types and phenomena. Aboriginal names of fires, and related terms, are also detailed (in the Gundjeihmi language), some of which have not been previously documented. The study concludes by discussing how indigenous people's knowledge of fire can contribute to the field of wetland fire ecology. It also discusses how different fire types can be used to manage tropical wetland ecosystems.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how Aboriginality, ‘Asianness’ and whiteness have been imagined from Federation in 1901 to the present. It recovers a rich but hitherto largely neglected history of twentieth century cross-cultural partnerships and alliances between Indigenous and Asian-Australians. Commercial and personal intercourse between these communities has existed in various forms on this continent since the pre-invasion era. These cross-cultural exchanges have often been based on close and long-term shared interests that have stemmed from a common sense of marginalisation from dominant Anglo-Australian society. At other times these cross-cultural relationships have ranged from indifference to hostility, reflecting the fact that migrants of Asian descent remain the beneficiaries of the dispossession of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Since 2000, Aboriginal Autonomous Region issue has been caught a lot of attention and discussion recently. Aboriginal Autonomous Region policy became one of the momentous objectives for the Government at that time. The issue of aboriginal autonomous region stemmed from the aboriginal rights movement which gradually stepped into the movement patterns of autonomous demands. In the Western,, the rise of social movements made the aboriginal groups which stay in the disadvantaged areas catch the attention from the international and the emphasis of aboriginals collective rights. Under the impact of the international information, the aboriginal rights movement gradually formed so that it makes the discourse of Taiwan aboriginal autonomy clearer. Furthermore, the issue of aboriginal autonomous in foreign areas, the human rights, the regulations of the autonomy regions, and the tiepin set-up of aboriginal autonomy, has become an international trend. In Taiwan, the set-up of autonomy areas has not been a dream anymore. However, how to apply the law framework into the aboriginal townships in the Kaohsiung area is still challengeable. The main reasons are not only the attitude of the consensus of aboriginal autonomy between different aboriginal groups and different aboriginal races but also the attitude of the society and the Government. In present paper, it utilized the aboriginal autonomy draft from Executive Yuan to administer the analysis of regulations. Next step was to probe into the different culture background of three aboriginal townships in Kaohsiung and the analysis of Aboriginal Autonomy by means of foreign cases. Finally, to discuss the differences and appropriateness of the Autonomy Law within different aboriginal races in Kaohsiung as well as the appropriateness and flexibility of administration.

The effect of injury prevention has been shown on the dramatic change of the ranking of injury of the leading cause of death. However, under the same policy, injury is still the most important cause of death among the aborigines. Therefore, efforts should been made not only on external, but also internal factors. The objective of this study is to discuss the association among injury pattern, personality and risky behavior in rural aborigines, urban aborigines and Han people. Face-to-face interview was held among rural aborigine in Hualien county, urban aborigine and Han people in Taipei county with structured questionnaire, which includes socio-demograghic data, incidence of injury, alcohol diagnosis and personality. Personality contains injury perception, social competition and risk perception. Injury pattern of the three groups were alike but the incidence rate of rural aborigine was much higher than urban aborigine and Han people (22.5%, 15.6% and 16.7%). As to personality, Han people scored highest in injury perception, while urban aborigine scored highest in social competition and rural aborigine scored highest in risk perception. Age of 40-49, unmarried are both risk factors of injury, and people who scored higher in social competition are also tends to get injured. A transition trend of injury was also observed in rural aborigine, urban aborigine and Han people. In the three risky behavior models of drinking, smoking, and betel nut chewing, race is an important risk factor and rural aborigine have highest risk to have risky behavior. In conclusion, the three groups present obviously different in this study and the transition trend indicated that migration does have great influence on personality and perception also a risk factor of injury.

The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) plays a role in the pathogenesis of obesity. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), the component of the RAS system, has recently been found to be completely expressed in human adipose tissue. Angiotensin II, the active component of RAS, may affect adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolism. Among ACE polymorphism, the gene DD genotype has shown to be regulated with a higher agiotensin- converting enzyme level in plasma. Hence, the purpose of this research is to investigate the correlation of ACE gene polymorphism to body mass index (BMI) between aborigines and Han non-aborigines. The relationship of race and ACE insertion (I)/ deletion (D) polymorphism was also analyzed.The results showed a higher value of ACE DD genotype appeared in aborigines (35.7 %) than that in Han population (10.8 %)(p < 0.0001). BMI in aborigines was 26.4±4.6 kg/m2, while in Han population was 24.4±3.6 kg/m2 (P<0.0001). A higher waist circumference value was also found among females aborigines than that found among female in Han population (86.9±10.7 vs 84.3±9.7 cm, P<0.0001). Simple and multiple linear regression analyses showed that both race and ACE gene polymorphism are closely correlated to BMI in all subjects. By discussion on the cases for the Han and aborigines population separately, it was found that the ACE gene polymorphism is associated with BMI in Han population it is not significant in aborigines. In aborigines, life style in culture is associated with BMI. In conclusion, ACE gene polymorphism and race were independent factors correlated to BMI, but differences could be found between race and ACE gene polymorphism.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)This interdisciplinary study investigates the Aboriginal intellectual heritage of the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, through a combination of family history, oral tradition, and audio-recorded songs, stories, interviews, discussions, and linguistic material. This research has uncovered an unsuspected wealth of cultural knowledge, cultural memory, and language heritage that has been kept alive and passed down within Aboriginal families and communities, despite the disruptions and dislocations endured over the past seven generations. This study's findings are presented in three interrelated forms: a dance performance that incorporates traditional and contemporary songs, stories, and lived experiences of an Aboriginal extended family; an oral presentation within the framework of Aboriginal oral transmission of knowledge and this written exegesis, which is itself an experiment in finding pathways for the expression and progression of Aboriginal knowledge within the context of academic discourse. The theoretical framework of this work is grounded in my personal experience of Aboriginal traditions of knowledge production and transmission, maintained through everyday cultural activities, family memories of traditional education, and our traditional and present-day language forms and communicative practices. The performance, oral and written components connect this intellectual and cultural heritage with historical and photographic documentation, linguistic analyses, and audio recordings from my grandfathers' and great-grandfathers' generations. The written component establishes the background to the study, and reviews relevant literature with a prioritisation of Aboriginal voices and sources of knowledge, both oral and written. It explores aspects of my family history from the early 1800s to the present, including my childhood and early educational experiences and leads on to a detailed look at the work of my late father, Raymond Shoonkley Kelly in documenting and maintaining out intellectual and cultural heritage through the NSW Survey of Aboriginal Sites. The final part of this study focuses on language, which is central to all of the preceding investigation. This work demonstrates how operating from an Aboriginal knowledge base allows us to see beyond surface differences in spelling and pronunciation, to reach a deeper understanding of the cultural meanings and ways of speaking that have allowed us to preserve and maintain out cultural integrity. This knowledge base also enables the linguistic unpacking of previously unanalysable song material from the audio recordings. Indigenous people in New South Wales are continuing to engage in a cultural and political struggle to maintain and protect our identity in the face of an ever-present threat of assimilation by the mainstream Australian society. The success of our struggle will depend significantly on our ability to keep our language and our intellectual heritage alive.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing upon field work, mass media accounts, and Canadian government internal documents, this thesis considers how settler/Aboriginal power relations were reproduced when Taiwan Aboriginal artefacts held by the Royal Ontario Museum were used in a 2001 exhibition in Taipei to commemorate the centennial of the death of the Taiwanese nationalist hero, George Leslie Mackay (1 844-1 901). I argue that this exhibition and related Taiwan-Canada state Aboriginal exchanges have been hierarchically structured by organizational narratives in which coalitions of settler state institutions function as adept heroes who quest to help inept Aboriginal peoples deal with various reified difficulties such as "cultural loss" or "economic development." Aboriginal participants are portrayed as thankful for the heroes' sacrifices and thereby morally validate the heroes' quests and relations between settlers and Aborigines. Helping Aborigines thereby allows for moral claims by involved institutions that just@ the use of Aboriginal exchanges to advance multiple institutional agendas including Canadian government nation branding, Taiwanese government informal diplomacy, and corporate advertising.

Aborigines assuredly are the oldest populations exist in Taiwan, but for a long time, at the edge of the political system, they had no voice under the colonial regime. Since the 1970s, Taiwan began a comprehensive localization. The consciousness of aboriginal subjectivity gradually rises and a series of social movements were launched to strive for identity. Han writers describe the aboriginal communities in their juvenile fictions, which reflect today's social phenomena and provide young readers an alternative experience to face the ethnic problems of Taiwan’s aborigines. This thesis aims to study the aboriginal juvenile fictions wirten by Han writers and to explore the aboriginal world presented in these Taiwan's aboriginal juvenile novels. The thesis was divided into six chapters: The first chapter described the structure of the paper, including the motivations, purposes, discussions and reviews of the literatures, research scope and methodology, interpretations of the terms, writers and introductions of their works. The second chapter explored the aboriginal lifestyle presented in the aboriginal juvenile fictions. The chapter III analyzed the character shaping of protagonist. The chapter IV studied the theme implications conveyed in the ficitons. Chapter V explored the writing features of the aboriginal juvenile fictions, and the conclusions were disclosed in Chapter VI. In summary, the writing practices of Taiwan’s aboriginal juvenile fictions have changed. The educational effect was elaborated, but the limitation of ethnic writing by Han writers was proposed as well. Finally, the future prospect for aboriginal juvenile fiction is to look forward to having more writers, especially aboriginal writers, to paticipate in juvenile novel writing and to broaden the vision of aboriginal juvenile fiction.

Abstract Novels can reflect human’s lives actually, and that is the place where the research begins to talk about all the selected works. Here will takes three theories to analyze the representation of Taiwan aborigines’ images in the present aboriginal youth/children novels: psychology, sociology, and history. Because characters and the plot are the key elements of composing an novel; moreover the relationships between the minority and dominant culture are the topics that aboriginal literature likes to talk about, all works will be discussed from three perspectives: characters, the plot and cross culture. The analysis of characters includes: age, gender, sex, career, race, appearance, economics and individuality, and the analysis of the plot includes the addiction of alcohol in Taiwan aborigines, the description of gathering in rituals, the representation of hunting culture. And the discussion about cross culture focuses mostly on the interaction between different lives in two groups in the environmental changes: aborigines and non-aborigines. At last, the research combines all the discussing results with the aboriginal authors’ self-interpretation in their works in order to understand the process of constructing the aborigines’ images. It represents two kinds of interpretation: “others” and “selves” to supply the authors and readers with more thinking.

The purpose of the study is to explore the aboriginal museums’ management by private enterprises and the relationship between the museums and aborigine. This study would be a case study of Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines. The connection between the development of aboriginal arts and the developmental history of aboriginal museums will investigate the aboriginal museums to move the steps of aboriginal culture and arts forward. Interviewing aborigines and experts to analyze the structure and concept of an aboriginal museum will lead various perspectives on aboriginal tribes, arts, culture and education. The result of the study is to find the strategies to help both sides trust and grow with each side.

Background Because of its unique cultural background, we consider Taitung County as the most typical area, where serious betel quid abuses were found, for us to do research and took samples. Nowadays, among the aboriginal tribes in Taitung, people are facing mental, physical, social family and career problems caused by betel quid, alcohol and nicotine abuses. Researches about the effects of chewing betel quid were mostly talking about the epidemiology、morbific stratovision、genetic determinant and cytopathic pre-cancer of oral cancer, however, they seldom showed the caries disease easily found on betel quid abusers. Purposes The main purpose of this research aimed at the abusing situation between aborigine and non-aborigine citizens of Taitung; secondly, the condition of drinking and smoking habits of the betel quid abusers, and the possible causes of oral diseases among the aborigine and non-aborigine betel quid abusers of Taitung. Methods 172 residents, including 92 aborigines (54.07%) and non-aborigines (45.93%), 49% male and 51% female, older than 18, were the objects of our research. We applied the MS Access to set up files and JMP to analyze the information. Results We found that 67% of betel quid abusers were above 50 years old, 49% were non-educated, they had started chewing mostly before 20 years old, and kept this habit for more than 20 years. 38.46% of aborigines had the habits of chewing betel quid and smoking, 48.15% with drinking habit; 47.62% betel quid abusers had the habit of smoking and 28.57% abusers had drinking habit. According to the research of the substance abuse module, we found that the age of the abusers was decreased, but the number of people was rising up. we also noticed that the CPI and oral health index had positive correlation with the habit of chewing betel quid . The CPI and LOA of the abusers were increasing, depending on the state of chewing. According to the higher rate of caries filling of non-abusers, we found that the habit of oral health of the abusers was getting worse. Conclusion To sum up, the rate of drinking, smoking and betel quid abusing of aborigines is higher than that of the non-aborigines; and the index of oral health of the non-aborigines is higher than aborigines; therefore, In order to promote the betel quid abuse, we should enhance the resident area of the aborigines on advertising the harm of betel quid abuse, and teach them the ways of getting rid of it.

Culture is an internal body of an ethnic style and all the cultures – old or new, western or eastern – have their own features. Today, diverse culture has also become a new expression of life: Every place has its own story with abundant and extraordinary connotation, which created diverse cultural styles. The feelings towards the same memory created by different cultures also touch people’s heart and therefore created “Emotional Branding”. Plus connections through online communities also shortened distance between people and the space, people now pay more attention to spiritual abundance. The past capital branding concept has gradually wanted and “human-like branding” has now formed into shape. In other words, brands must be featured with emotional personality and living philosophy in order to attract the crowds, to deliver the stories, and then promote cultures of the land and have them connected with the world. Based on this reason, this study has collected cultural creative practice cases conducted by four ethnic groups – Minnan, Hakka, aborigines and plains aborigines – and investigated these cultural creative practitioners through in-depth interviews. Then the interview contents were analyzed through grounded theory in order to understand the processes and obstacles that they have been confronted on the road of building their cultural creative career, and to discuss the connection between culture and emotional brands as well as the derived influence towards cultural identity. Furthermore, a comparative research was conducted to find out the similarities and differences of brands created by different Taiwanese cultural emotions and then, through hybridity theory and phenomenography, to analyze their emotional elements and culture codes. Finally, elements of emotional brands shaped by Taiwanese cultures as well as inspirations of brands towards cultural identity were summarized from the perspectives of globalization to build a cultural creative practice pattern. Research results reveal that Taiwan has been affected by foreign colonial and local culture that, whether it emphasizes on one style or a personality mixed with various styles, its charm of diverse culture has given people the first impression of Taiwan. Besides, emotional brands also help to enhance the positioning and identity of brands; and the introduction of emotional marketing and cultural codes have formed a brand unity, which touches peoples heart and fortify local connections. Plus the applications of online communities, emotional brands featured with cultural elements have created more values of “beauty” and “affections”. That is, to arouse people’s understanding and recognition towards Taiwan, and to reach brands’ social responsibilities with “affections”.

It is the main premise in this thesis that there was a deliberate process of disturbing the body, minds or psyche as well as the lived culture of these women. Hence, through body, mind as well as cultural dysphoria, Stolen Generations are challenged to construct an identity.

The conflict between Taiwanese aborigine and Taiwanese non-aborigine keeps increasing many years. It seems difference of life style is the main cause. It usually becomes the focus of worldwide attention when these two groups have conflict because of misunderstanding of personal reason, family background, whole society, and so on. This study shows this discrimination of Taiwanese aborigine is like others of aborigines around the world. Aborigines face poorer economy and unfair treatment in society construction organization and also in work and life as well. In addition, aborigines’ characteristic is the important key to affection of life style hereafter. This study is based on aborigines who used be my workmates. Individual case analysis, thorough interview, and observation are three main methods we use in order to collect data and then probe into conflict between aborigines and non-aborigines in life style. After interview, we collect data and then analyze the cause. From six available samples and interview, it indicates that: 1. Personal values and stereotype affect aborigine unfair treatment. 2. Family background and economy affect aborigines’chewing food choice. 3. Position of society and economy affect aborigines’ educational culture. 4. Traditional negative impression affects aborigines’ development in career. This study shows the way of solving aborigines’ unfair treatment should be based on short, middle, and long term three different stages as follow: 1. Short-term ：understanding of aborigines’ culture and cease of difference values and stereotype 2. Middle-term：chewing food choice relied on well family background and parent’s personal education 3. Long-term ：support from authentic government and help of aborigines’ action in labor market

Full textAbstract:
The Tasmanian muttonbird, scientifically called the short-tailed shearwater Puffinus
tenuirostris probably obtained its name because its flesh tasted like mutton. Over 80
percent of the world's population of 23 million birds breed in Tasmania, with the largest
' rookeries on the islands of Bass Strait. The bird has an egg-laying season of remarkable
constancy enabling commercial exploitation to be carried out to a strict calendar. The
term "muttonbirding" defines the capture of the bird, its killing and its processing into a
product fit for human consumption.
The remains of muttonbirds have been found in archaeological sites in Tasmania and
mainland Australia, but the meagre number present suggests that the birds were not an
important food source to the Aborigines.
In 1798 the seal colonies of Bass Strait were discovered and exploited by nonAboriginal
sealers to near extinction. The sealers who remained took Aboriginal women
for "wives". The population grew slowly, based on a subsistence muttonbird economy.
By 1872 the descendants of white sealer-Aboriginal women liaisons constituted just 40
percent of the total 27 4 people in the Fumeaux Group, as immigrants took up leases of.
islands once occupied by the descendants and eventually for~ed them onto Cape Barren
Island. The area they settled on Cape Barren Island was 'declared a Reserve in 1881,
and became an enclave requiring laws and government money to administer. Having
very little income, the annual harvesting of muttonbirds was the highlight of the year to
these people.
The immigrant settlers also looked to muttonbirding to sustain them through hard times,
and to pay off mortgagees. By the early 1900s up to 400 people participated in the
annual season. In the 1920s, catches of up to one million birds were recorded. Such a
locally important industry required regulations to be frequently gazetted to conserve the
birds, for administrative purposes, and to bring about hygiene in the presentation of the
muttonbird for human consumption. The industry enticed some people into believing
that t~ey could make much money by buying and selling birds, even as recently as the
1980s. All such enterprises collapsed. Nowadays, the total catch is approximately
150,000 birds annually, with the largest number coming from islands in northwest
Tasmania.
In recent years there have been protests against the taking of muttonbirds by amateur
muttonbirders as people have become more environmentally conscious. These protests
resulted in the closure of many traditional rookeries around Tasmania, but left the
industry unscathed.
The future of the industry largely lies in the hands of the young generation of
muttonbirders. As long as there are people who believe strongly in the tradition of
muttonbirding, and people who will eat muttonbirds, there will probably be an industry.
The short length and ready accessibility of nesting burrows, easy landings, and the close
proximity of the resource to human settlements are the main reasons why the industry
existed and has persisted in Tasmania.

Wang Jia Siang’s writings present the aboriginal maternal cultures that are related to the rediscovery of Taiwan Pingpu People. Cause the intermarriage between Taiwan Pingpu and the Han people is universal in the history of Taiwan, Taiwanese rediscover their aboriginal relation by blood in contemporary Taiwan. This rediscovery challenges the binary opposition’s concept of “Aborigines” and “Han people” in Taiwan community. Wang Jia Siang evokes historic memories and ethnicism by writing aboriginal cultures. In fact, he represents aboriginal cultures in fictions in order to build utopia in his wilderness writings. How to represent “aboriginal cultures” through the forms of aborigines’ images？Aborigines’ images in Wang Jia Siang’s fictions are assorted in four types：(1) The anthropologist (2) The tribal hero (3)The aboriginal female (4) The postmodern body of aborigine. According to the analysis of aborigines’ images, this research has four conclusions about the features of Wang Jia Siang’s fictions： 1.The narrative of experimental ethnography. 2.In terms of “assimilation” to interpret the interaction between Taiwan Pingpu and the Han people. 3.In terms of “The aboriginal female” to symbolize Taiwan’s Mother. 4.Reflecting the body concept of posthuman.
