Cultural Sensitivity Warning
It is a condition of use of the cultural components of the Museum Archives that users ensure that any disclosure of information contained in this collection is consistent with the views and sensitivities of Indigenous people. Users are warned that there may be words and descriptions that may be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in certain public or community contexts. Users should also be aware that some records document research into people and cultures using a scientific research model dating from the first half of the twentieth century, and depicts people as research subjects in ways which may today be considered offensive. 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. Records included may be subject to access conditions imposed by Indigenous communities and/or depositors. Users are advised that access to some materials may be subject to these terms and conditions that the Museum is required to maintain.

'Aranda vocabulary translated by N.B. Tindale and also some Kukatja (Loritja)'

Archive Collections / Dr Norman Barnett Tindale / Series AA338/08 / 'Aranda vocabulary translated by N.B. Tindale and also some Kukatja (Loritja)'

This item consists of 5 volumes of paper slips (approx. 1200 in number).These slips relate to Tindale's English translation of an Aranda/Luritja/German vocabulary provided to him by Rev. Hermann Adolf Heinrich at Hermannsburg (NT) in 1929. Heinrich had been, for many years, a school teacher at the mission. According to Tindale the vocabulary contained 2600 Arunta and 1400 Luritja words (see journal AA 338/1/2, 'Diary of Researches 1922-1930', p.338). Tindale received some assistance with the German-English translation from HK Fry (see journal AA 338/1/2, 'Diary of Researches 1922-1930', p.345). A typical slip carries an English headword in the top left-hand corner, a German equivalent in the top right-hand corner, an Aranda gloss between these two, and occasionally a Kukatja word written vertically along the right hand edge of the slip. Also, the slips occassionally contain Tindale's working notes.

The slips are arranged rather loosely in alphabetical order according to the English gloss. Note, however, that less than one third of the original 4000 entries appear in this vocabulary.
See also the Aranda vocabulary index cards in metal drawers AA 338/7/2/1-2; Ernest Eugene Kramer's 'Vocabulary. Aranda = English. German = Loritja. Hermannsburg 9 Sept [19]25' in AA 669/2 'Notebooks, primarily relating to the study of the Aranda [Arrernte] language'. Both Heinrich and Kramer appear to draw upon the same source material; their vocabularies appear to bear the stamp of the earlier missionary, Carl Friedrich Strehlow (see AA 315).
