During these decades, closer settlement legislation and the arrival of the Great Southern Railway sparked a dramatic intensification of agricultural development in the Wagga district.〔Sherry Morris, ''Wagga Wagga: A History'', Council of the City of Wagga Wagga, Wagga Wagga, 1999, p. 50.〕 Town growth and the arrival of farming families displaced Wiradjuri survivors of violence and disease from station camps and waterways.〔Gilmore, ''Old Days: Old Ways'', p. 152〕〔Gilmore, Old Days: Old Ways, pp. 118-120.〕 Through her father Donald Cameron, who held the Wiradjuri people in great regard, and from her own experiences, Mary learned much about the ways that Wiradjuri thought and lived. She later recorded her childhood memories of the Wagga district. Gilmore's memories are worth exploring at length, as they offer a rare and valuable insight into early Wagga history. == The meaning of 'Wagga Wagga' == Mary Gilmore suggested that the name 'Wagga Wagga', given to the area by Wiradjuri people, was associated with the methods used by Wiradjuri to maintain the ecological well-being and natural abundance of the land. Crows abounded in the area, she explained, because of the many bird eggs and chicks on which the crows could feast: ''Wagga Wagga means the meeting-place of the crows. The locality was the breeding-ground of birds of all kinds. Food abounded on land and in the water, consequently eggs were plentiful (young birds too), and the crows fared well. So did the eagles, some of which were of great size.''〔Jennifer Strauss, ''Collected verse of Mary Gilmore,'', University of Queensland Press, 2007, p. 642.〕 The abundance of eggs and chicks was probably the result of strategies developed by Wiradjuri to tend the land. Like other Aboriginal groups across Australia, Wiradjuri clans reserved places where no hunting, fishing, gathering, or burning was allowed. The sites held special religious and social significance.〔Deborah Rose, Diana James and Christine Watson, ''Indigenous Kinship with the Natural World in New South Wales'', NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Hurstville, 2003.〕 Animals and plants flourished inside the sacred refuges, spreading beyond sanctuary boundaries to replenish populations legally available for hunting and gathering. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Gilmore and the history of Wagga Wagga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
