Building ‘moral muscle’

    • The colonisers’ common law, while containing provisions respecting individual rights, was largely intended to protect property and good order.
    • The constitution they constructed for Federation, explicitly excluded First Peoples, along with Chinese and other non-Europeans, from citizenship.
    • Indigenous law’s purpose is not to protect the wealth, power, and property of the leadership class.
    • The capital of Indigenous society is intellectual and moral, not material, and the law is about proper behaviour towards other people and the natural world.
    • Indigenous Law has evolved to ensure the wellbeing of the society by building the inner wellbeing of individuals and collective wellbeing.
    • The Yolungu see this as the building of “moral muscle”.

Managing emotions

    • Central to traditional life is learning to manage emotions, feelings that can be both productive and hideously destructive.
    • One strategy is the use of Pitjantjatjara/English fridge magnets containing the words for around 50 emotions in both languages.
    • Senior women had observed that young people, especially young males, could not express their emotions in either their own language or in English.
