A Retrospective on the First Code of Ethics on Members\u2019 Obligations (1990) – 35 Years On<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hirinini Matunga, New Zealand<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave Johnston-Pitt and I were both involved in the preparation of the draft, first suggested at the WAC Inter-Congress in Vermillion, South Dakota in 1989, then discussed and approved by the indigenous peoples\u2019 forum at WAC2 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela in 1990 and subsequently approved by the full WAC Council. It is now 35 years on. The Code of Ethics has been operative for decades and it might be good to do a retrospective. Some might be interested in the origins\/process of the Code etc but may also wish to consider\/think about an analytic or matrix to measure\/assess success, adherence, compliance etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science and Culture, a Short History of Aboriginal and Archaeological Communities Working Together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayne Brennan, <\/em>University of Sydney, Australia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brief review of the history of the way science and Aboriginal communities have worked together since the 1980s till the present. The paper will examine some of the components that have been driving the dynamics and diversity of this important relationship. Research and consultation processes for Aboriginal groups differ throughout Australia and given the current political inaction in many states of Australia for the increased protection of cultural assets, there is concern. If governments cannot manage these valuable assets appropriately then communities with the assistance of scientist must fill the breach with a holistic community driven plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
