AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'For those working with Australian Indigenous languages, one of the challenges is to help speakers find ways to pass the language on to younger generations. Linguists and language centres have produced a range of resources for this purpose: wordbooks, bilingual dictionaries, learner’s grammars, language learning courses, to name a few. With the new series of picture dictionaries, planned for languages in Central Australia, IAD has come up with an innovative resource. Kaytetye picture dictionary is the second in this series and, as the name suggests, illustrations are an integral part of it.' (Introduction)

    'In this issue of Australian Aboriginal Studies we present a diversity of articles. Michael Rowland considers the revival of the caricature of the ‘noble savage’— or ‘ecologically noble savage’ existing in harmony with nature—that he has identified in some recent publications on environmental issues, and discusses negative implications of the concept. In doing so, he faces the possibility that such a critique might be seen as an attack on indigeneity, but is bolstered by the observation that his criticisms are shared by some Indigenous Australian scholars.'  (Editorial introduction)
