Page 181:
5. "Many of the Alyawara are polygynous with some men having as many as three wives."

Lewis R. Binford, "An Alyawara Day: Flour, Spinifex Gum, and Shifting Perspectives"
Journal of Anthropological Research 40, no. 1 (Spring, 1984): 157-182.

Going back in time to the late 1800s and early 1900s:
[www.nma.gov.au]

[www.nst.com.my]
Conclusion? From Binford again page 159...men lived in the men's camps and women lived in the women's camps.
Therefore Linda Burney (or any other woman) wouldn't have been allowed in the Alyawara men's camp
either in 1850 or 1974 (the paper wasn't published until 1984).
This also should never have to happen again.

The media (and Clinton Walker) haven't even started telling the whole truth. Mr. Walker made it very clear he doesn't like dams burying artifacts and history:
"One example of many, he said, was Harding Dam, built in the 1980s as Karratha's main water supply in a sacred area full of cultural sites."

He left out something or he doesn't seem to realize that it's the world's dams burying cultural sites that provide the electricity that makes the steel that makes the arms that protects you and your kids from meeting your ancient Dreamland sooner than necessary. The so-called loopholes in Section 18 are there for your own good. Also, if any women's camps were buried by the Harding Dam...good riddance. What an eye-sore on history they were. Yes, the world needs to remember them, and not let them happen again, but visit one? No thanks.
