Adelaide Workshop

Adelaide Workshop
A session on language and history in native title.

CNTA held a Roving Workshop in Adelaide at the Treasury Adina Hotel, 2 Flinders Street Adelaide. Our workshop partner was South Australian Native Title Services (SANTS).

SANTS CEO, Mr Keith Thomas, opened the workshop and welcomed participants. Twenty-five people (25) attended the workshop from a range of disciplines involved in native title apart from anthropology. Presenters were lawyers (Mr Peter Tonkin from the South Australian Crown Solicitor's Office), historian Mr Tom Gara, linguists Drs Mary Laughren and Paul Monaghan, and community development practictioner Professor Mark Moran. Dr Bill Kruse also raised issues around taking a community development apporach in claim research and outcomes.

A CNTA writing and research scholar, Ms Ophelia Rubinich, ran a successful session on the question of incorporation. This work was based on research carried out during her recent placement with CNTA. Her session involved group work and was well received by participants.

Professor Nicolas Peterson outlined the development of land rights in South Australia under Premier Don Dunstan which many had not known in detail. Dr David Martin returned to a topic many are grappling with - the design of prescribed bodies corporate (PBCs).
