Wurundjeri Tribe

In the Ulladulla area the Budawang Tribe inhabited the Conjola, Lake George to Moruya, the Budawang tribe spoke Dhurga, which is an Aboriginal language spoken from Jervis Bay to Wallaga Lake. The Aboriginal tribal group from Jervis Bay to Twofold Bay was Yuin. Captain Cook first sighted the Budawang Tribe on the shores of Murramarang at Koorbrua Beach in 1770, yet the earliest settlers for the area were in 1828 in the Ulladulla Harbour. (C. Dunn, 2000).

Action on Smoking and Health (ASH, 2007; Richardson (2001) argued that manual groups are likely to smoke heavier than the managerial groups and stated likely reason for this such as food insecurity, substitute for food, social environment, segregation and pressure, lack of good health and lack of confidence. In addition to this, epidemiology statistics reported by Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC, 2013 and Wanless, 2004) stated that smoking is more prevalent among the lower socio-economic groups and known to be key part of the disparities in life expectation between manual and non-manual groups. Therefore it is important something is done to eradicate inequality in the health of the general population.

Tobacco has and still is the most important public health issue faced in Australia and internationally. (Jochelson, 2006). Many countries such as North America, England, Australia, Canada and Ireland have introduced policies regarding smoking in public areas and restriction of smoking in indoor areas. (Thomson, Wilson & Edwards, 2009). The government, community leaders and policy makers work towards introducing policies that will stop consumers from smoking in public areas. (Pizacani, maher, Rohde, Drach & Stark, 2012). Government intervention should extend public smoking bans so that second hand smokers can be safe, a better environment and less death incidents relating to smoking.

The City of Boroondara acknowledges the people of the Kulin Nation as Traditional Owners of the land of Boroondara. Today, two community organisations represent the interests of Indigenous people in Boroondara and the Eastern Metropolitan Region. They are the Wurundjeri Land Tribe and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council Inc. (Wurundjeri Council) and the Inner East Local Indigenous Network (LIN). The Wurundjeri people are recognised as the Traditional Owners of land in the northern area of Boroondara. The Wurundjeri Council represents the Wurundjeri people and is the key contact for activities occurring in the northern area that can only be performed by Traditional Owners. The Inner East LIN is an Indigenous community organisation representing the interests of Indigenous people in Boroondara and the Eastern Metropolitan Region.

According to the Australian Government Department of Health website (2013), The National Tobacco Campaign (NTC) is a nationally recognised health promotion movement (provided under the organisation QuitNow Australia and launched by the Australian Department of Health and Ageing in 2011) aimed at providing smokers with the appropriate motivation and support aimed at achieving adequate behaviour change regarding addictive (tobacco use) behaviours (Department of Health and Ageing, 2012). It is also considered the highest evaluated national health promotion campaign in Australia due to its accomplished rates in producing successful behaviour change, the ability

The Wurundjeri Willum clan speak the Woi wurrung language. The Woi wurrung is one of the many language groups that make up the Kulin Nation, whose people shared the same religion and language, and lived in what is now metropolitan and greater Melbourne.

We first started doing our health campaign on smoking and aimed it on people that were 16 years old and pregnant women. Smoking causes health problems such as several types of cancer which have been broadcasted through advertising and several other campaigns warning people about the repercussions of smoking. There have been many national health strategies to help promote the negative impact of smoking on our health. One campaign is by the NHS called ‘Smoke Free’ which is there to help people stop smoking and give them encouragement to do so. With public health, the Government has decreased the amount of people smoking due to

My home based in Caringbah (aboriginal word referring to the 'Pademelon Wallaby' ) belongs to Sutherland Shire, being separated from Royal National Park- Bundeena(Aboriginal meaning: 'noise like thunder) by Hacking River inlet. (Sutherland Shire Council Library and Information Service, 2004) Dharawal stencils, rock paintings, shell middens, engravings, grinding grooves, and rock shelters are present throughout the Shire. However, the coal mining industry threatens the conservation of the Indigenous cultural heritages.

The campaign educates the smoker who is trying to quick with advice which will give them a clear understanding on how their health is at risk and the consequences that it will have

The indigenous people that used to call the Noosa Shire home were part of the Gubbi Gubbi or Kabi Kabi people. The exact number of indigenous population is unknown but from accounts from explorers and journalists in the 1860s say there were several hundred aboriginals living on the Noosa waterways. The Gubbi Gubbi tribe visited the Noosa area for 40 000 years before the first Europeans arrived in the 1800s. The Aborigines lived as far north as Fraser Island, south to Pumicestone Passage and west to Conondale and Blackall Ranges. This region is a sacred retreat used for celebrations like the annual Bunya Nut Festival.

which is a part of the City of Yarra. North Fitzroy is located along the banks of the Merri Creek, which was a significant spiritual place for the Indigenous people of Australia. Before the European settlers arrived in this particular area, the banks of the Yarra River and Merri Creek were the home of the Wurundjeri Tribe. The Wurundjeri Tribe were divided into different clans such as the Wurundjeri-Willam clan and the Wurundjeri-Balluk clan, and each clan was lead by a Ngurunggata (pronounced na-rung-getta) which means head clan-man. (Pre-Contact Wurundjeri, The Aboriginal History of Yarra, http://aboriginalhistoryofyarra.com.au/2-pre-contact-wurundjeri/).

The first settlers came in 1837. There are twelve known Aboriginal sites in the City of Boroondara; two are Aboriginal historic places and ten are archaeological sites. There are two local community groups that support the rights of the Indigenous people. They are the Wurundjeri Land Tribe and the Compensation Cultural Heritage Council. They assist in managing cultural sites, education and training and cultural events. ( Wurundjeri Tribe, Aboriginal Cultural Heritage work, Land Management, Cultural and

Within the Whitehorse community senses of 2011, 314 (0.2% of the population) people stated that they identify as Indigenous. Though this is a significantly smaller amount than the Victorian average (0.7%) and the Australian average (2.5%) Whitehorse still has a rich Indigenous history. The Wurundjeri- Balluk tribe are recognised as the traditional owners of the land in and around Whitehorse for the past 40,000 years and they are one go the 5 tribes that make up the Kulin Nation (A league of Victorian Indigenous tribes including the Wurundjeri people, The Bunurang people, The Wathaurong people, The Taungurong people and the Dja Dja Warring people.) and they speak the Woi Wurrung dialect. They are a very spiritual people and honour the creator

The tobacco industry kills more people in North America from Monday to Thursday of each week than the terrorists murdered in total on September 11, 2001. That sounds unrealistic, doesn’t it? Well, smoking is an epidemic that affects us all, whether you are a smoker or you aren’t. In order to stop this epidemic, we need to

Smoking is hazardous to health, doctors, nurses and others in the health industry are plays an important role to help smokers to quit themselves from this bad habit (New Straits Times 2007, p.11). Even though the government is very aggressive in approaching the “Tak Nak” campaign, but yet Malaysians still maintain
