Ngadlu tampinthi ngadlu Kaurna Miyurna yartangka. Munaintya puru purruna ngadlu-itya. Munaintyanangku yalaka tarrkarriana tuntarri.

We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.

Some records contain terms and annotations that reflect the author's attitude or that of the period in which the item was written, and may be considered inappropriate today in some circumstances. Users should be aware that in some Indigenous communities, hearing names of deceased persons might cause sadness or distress, particularly to the relatives of these people. Furthermore, certain totemic symbols may also have prohibitions relating to the age, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them.

Commonwealth Art Advisory Board, New Guinea - 1971

Archive Collections / Graeme Lloyd Pretty / Series AA 255/14 / Commonwealth Art Advisory Board, New Guinea - 1971

"New Guinea, 1971, for the Commonwealth Art Advisory Board".

This notebook covers the period 2 May to 17 May 1971 when Graeme Pretty visited New Britain and New Ireland.
This visit was to investigate the prospects of collecting ethnic art from these locations and was supported and funded by the Commonwealth Art Advisory Board (CAAB). Observations from the earlier part of the "Island Melanesia" expedition (25/2/1971 – 1/5/1971) were also relevant to this second phase of the same trip as the subject matter of the research project was closely related to the ethnic art investigation.

The "Daily Jottings" notebooks, Volumes VII to X, overlap the period covered by the CAAB notebook (2 May - 17 May 1971). The document with the Daily Jottings notebook transcriptions ("Graeme Pretty - Island Melanesia 1971 - Daily Jottings Books V to X.docx" located at "R:\Archives\AA 255 PRETTY, GL\Graeme Pretty - Island Melanesia - 1971") has entries from the CAAB notebook inserted where relevant and where they add additional information.

The CAAB notebook also has loose sheets covering 14 May to 21 May 1971.
