Just rang your Dad, Bronny, to find out how far away your Mum

Event. |

Bronny>
I think that this site is a really good thing |

18, 12:34: |
Gayle>
I work as an Education Manager |
| Jun
18, 12:35: |
Gayle>
My main focus is in Aboriginal tourism |
| Jun
18, 12:35: |
Jolanda>
hello G ayle I am with my year 3 class learning about chat rooms. |
| Jun
18, 12:35: |
Gayle>
So I travel a lot through the Flinders Ranges and the Pitjantjatjara
Lands working with Aboriginal people |
| Jun
18, 12:36: |
Gayle>
Hello to all the students at Salisbury |
| Jun
18, 12:37: |
Jolanda>
I have 4 students who have been to Pt Augusta and I have taught
at Augusta Park PS some years ago' |
| Jun
18, 12:37: |
Gayle>
In Port August a we have over 3500 Aboriginal people with over
20 language groups represented |
| Jun
18, 12:37: |
Karen>
What kinds of things do you do with the Aboriginal people in
terms of tourism? |
| Jun
18, 12:37: |
Jolanda>
How many aboriginal students go to school in Port Augusta? |
| Jun
18, 12:37: |
gill has entered the room |
| Jun
18, 12:37: |
Welcome gill,
Welcome to the CTC chat room! |
| Jun
18, 12:38: |
Gayle>
We have been offering the Certificate in Tourism Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Guiding to students
at Iga Warta |
| Jun
18, 12:39: |
Gayle>
We have lots of schools but there are about 100 at the high
school |
| Jun
18, 12:39: |
Gayle>
Hi Gill |
| Jun
18, 12:39: |
gill>
hi I am from School of the Air - Pt Augusta |
| Jun
18, 12:39: |
Jolanda>
What types of jobs do aboriginal students train for? |
| Jun
18, 12:39: |
Karen>
Were you involved in developing the curriculum for the Certificate? |
| Jun
18, 12:39: |
Gayle>
At some of our schools students learn Aboriginal languages |
| Jun
18, 12:40: |
Gayle>
Getting jobs is very difficult for Aboriginal people as there
is still a lot of racism in our town but we run courses
in Office Admin, Horticulture, tourism and literacy and
numeracy |
| Jun
18, 12:41: |
Gayle>
Not in the actual curriculum but I modify it to suit my students,
their culture and region |
| Jun
18, 12:41: |
Jolanda>
What is the most popular aboriginal Languge taught in Port Augusta? |
| Jun
18, 12:41: |
Gayle>
HI to the SOTA mob |

jimi has entered the room |
| Jun
18, 12:41: |
Welcome jimi,
Welcome to the CTC chat room! |
| Jun
18, 12:42: |
Gayle>
hi Jimi |
| Jun
18, 12:43: |
Karen>
Why do you think there is still so much racism in Port Augusta? |
| Jun
18, 12:44: |
jimi>
hi Gayle, Kaz. This is James Boundy, I thought I'd check in
to see how it's going |
| Jun
18, 12:44: |
Gayle>
I think that it is always easy to blame someone when the town
is depressed and there is also a huge lack of understanding
of Aboriginal culture in the non-Aboriginal community |
| Jun
18, 12:45: |
Gayle>
HI James! |
| Jun
18, 12:46: |
Gayle>
People need to understand that Aboriginal culture is as vital
today as it always was and it still rules the lives of the
Aboriginal people. There is a belief that it is all over
but the cultures here are still very strong |
| Jun
18, 12:46: |
Karen>
Hi James - good to see you! |
| Jun
18, 12:46: |
Karen>
Jolanda do your students have some questions for Gayle about
Aboriginal culture? |
| Jun
18, 12:46: |
Gayle>
The most popular languages taught are Pitjantjatjara and Adnyamathanha |
| Jun
18, 12:47: |
Gayle>
Adnyamathanha is the language of the Flinders Ranges |
| Jun
18, 12:48: |
Jolanda>
How long have you worked in Port Augusta? |
| Jun
18, 12:48: |
Gayle>
Arabana is also taught and that is the language of the Marree
area |
| Jun
18, 12:49: |
Gayle>
12 years in Port Augusta but I grew up in the Flinders Ranges
at a little place called Beltana |
| Jun
18, 12:49: |
jimi>
How many regional dialects would there have been around the
Port Augusta area? |
| Jun
18, 12:51: |
Colin>
hello |
| Jun
18, 12:52: |
Jolanda>
How many hours do you work in a week? |
| Jun
18, 12:52: |
Gayle>
I think we are so lucky to live in a town with so many cultures
represented. Both of my daughters learnt Aboriginal languages
at school here |
| Jun
18, 12:53: |
Gayle>
Gill can you say hi to Bridie for me she was amazing at the
launch in Adelaide |
| Jun
18, 12:53: |
Gayle>
Hello Colin |
| Jun
18, 12:54: |
Gayle>

| Jun
18, 12:54: |
Karen>
Hi Colin, we're talking with Gayle Mather about Aboriginal culture,
education and tourism! |
| Jun
18, 12:54: |
Colin>
hi there i was listening to the SOTA before a good idea broadcasting
it over the net |
| Jun
18, 12:54: |
Karen>
Where are you from Colin? |
| Jun
18, 12:55: |
Gayle>
so I will try again, Pt Augusta was traditionally a meeting
place for Aborignal people and so there have always been
many languages represented here but we currently have about
22 |

18, 13:00: |
Jessica>
adelaide hills |
| Jun
18, 13:00: |
Gayle>
I was very fortunate to grow up in the Flinders Ranges and learn
a lot about Adnyamathanha people and their culture and so
I have been interested since I was ten and it just seemed
the obvious choice |
| Jun
18, 13:00: |
Denni>
If you know anything about the school of air can you whisper
to me please! |
| Jun
18, 13:01: |
Jessica>
so what can you tell us Gayle? |
| Jun
18, 13:01: |
Gayle>
I htink Australia would be an even better place to live if we
all had an understanding of the Aboriginal culture |
| Jun
18, 13:01: |
Jessica>
Jessica whispers to Denni>i agree |
| Jun
18, 13:02: |

| Jun

Denni>

| Jun
18, 13:02: |
Gayle>
I dont know a great deal about school of the air I work in TAFE
in Aborignal Education |
| Jun
18, 13:03: |
Jessica>

18, 13:03: |
Denni>
GAYLE!! PLEASE! |
| Jun
18, 13:03: |
Jessica>

| Jun
18, 13:03: |
Jolanda>
The students with me are fascinated with the concept of SOTA |
| Jun
18, 13:03: |
Karen>
Denni, Jessica - have you seen the info on the website already? |
| Jun
18, 13:04: |
Jessica>
do you enjoy working in TAFE? |
| Jun
18, 13:04: |
Gayle>
I think Centenary of Federation is an important celebration
for Australia but we need to remember that Aborignal people
were here for thousands of years before that |
| Jun
18, 13:04: |
Denni>
Oops! This topic is walking together. What is that about? That
has nothing to do with centenury of federation does it?! |
| Jun
18, 13:04: |
Denni>
Karen..Can you give me more information |
| Jun
18, 13:04: |
Jessica>
Sure Jolanda but we dont get it |
| Jun
18, 13:04: |
Gayle>
So I think this website is great as it has a focus on Aboriginal
connections as well as the very important work of the Overland
Telegraph |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Jolanda>
unfortunately I don't think we have any aboriginal enrollemnts
at our school, so the students are limited in that contact
here. |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Gayle>
Reconciliation is what it is all about |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Colin>
Have a look at the web site http://oac/.schools.sa.edu.au/sota/ |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Denni>
Karen..How old are you? Are you a student or what? |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Jessica>
Karen we looked but its nonsense talk |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Gayle>
and that is definitely about centenary of federation |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |
Karen>
Denni I work for the company that built the website - what do
you specifically need to know? |
| Jun
18, 13:05: |

from an Aborignal person from the area. |

My children went to a school where they were in the minority
- only 40% were non-Aboriginal students |

culture. |

Gayle>
Thanks James |
| Jun
18, 13:34: |
Gayle>
Tourism on the internet is very slow still in some areas due
to the phone equipment |
| Jun
18, 13:35: |
Colin>
no i mean do they have much advertised on the Internet , I know
some of the Telephone lines ( where there are telephone
lines) are pretty bad. |

18, 13:36: |

| Jun
18, 13:44: |
adrian>
I'm a very young 44 year old |
| Jun
18, 13:44: |
Gayle>
Not bad Adrian but we have a few who are not into our subject
matter |
| Jun
18, 13:44: |
ann>
Gayle - what about Aboriginal cultural tours for women? I know
that lots of stories are only suitable for men - how do
you get around that in a mixed group |
| Jun
18, 13:45: |
adrian>
yes I noticed that ... Karen can kick people out of here ...
so all you ratbags better beware |
| Jun
18, 13:47: |
adrian>
Gayle ... tell the room about your work at Iga Warta |
| Jun
18, 13:47: |
ann>
yeah, I wanna hear stories about Iga Warta |
| Jun
18, 13:48: |
Gayle>
I have been involved with Iga Warta since it started back in
1996 |
| Jun
18, 13:48: |
Gayle>
but more recently I have been offering a tourism course up there |
| Jun
18, 13:48: |
ann>
tell us about it |
| Jun
18, 13:48: |
Gayle>
Iga Warta is an amazing place where you can go and learn first
hand about Aborignal culture |
| Jun
18, 13:49: |
adrian>
How much time do you spend at Iga Warta? |
| Jun
18, 13:49: |
Gayle>
You stay at the Aboriginal community and learn how important
the culture is to their everyday lives |
| Jun
18, 13:49: |
ann>
What can people do at Iga Warta? Do they run tours, tell stories,
or what? |
| Jun
18, 13:49: |
Gayle>
I think it is a place where all non-Aborignal Australians should
visit |
| Jun
18, 13:50: |
Gayle>
I go to Iga Warta when ever I can the majority of weekends and
also time for work |
| Jun
18, 13:50: |
Melanie has left the room |
| Jun
18, 13:50: |
Gayle>
They run tours and tell stories and you can eat bush tucker
and make artefacts |
| Jun
18, 13:51: |
ann>
Ca you just call in any time to Iga Warta or do you have to
book a tour? |
| Jun
18, 13:51: |
adrian>
yes ... I agree ... it should almost be compulsory for all non-aboriginal
Australians |
| Jun
18, 13:51: |
Gayle>
check out their website linked from this site but the content
in Aboriginal connections is fantastic!! |
| Jun
18, 13:51: |
Gayle>
Some government departments run reconciliation trips up there |
| Jun
18, 13:52: |
Gayle>
schools visit too |
| Jun
18, 13:52: |
adrian>
Iga Warta is a very special place with a lot to offer to visitors |
| Jun
18, 13:52: |
Gayle>
but most of their visitors are international |
| Jun
18, 13:52: |
ann>
maybe they should make racism illegal and send all the racists
to Iga warta for compulsory re-training! |
| Jun
18, 13:52: |
Gayle>
No you can call in anytime to Iga Warta |
| Jun
18, 13:53: |
ann>
I'm heading off now, thanks for chatting to us Gayle |
