    I lived in an inland rural area of New South Wales, and after finishing school I moved to Kununurra, a northern remote area in Western Australia. This was a place where my knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal people their culture, history and identity was largely developed.

This exposure tested and challenged my thoughts, it lead me to further question some of the reasons why the Aboriginal people had vastly different ways of living. During the 3 years I lived in Kununurra I gained much repect for their culture and…

As a result of Australia’s already strong relationship with the United States of America (USA) and Britain before and after World War Two the impact on everyday Australians was immense. Prior to 1945 many Australians would class themselves as part of a British colony and under British authority. This resulted in many themes of Australian culture to be influenced by Britain including: sports; foods; fashion; entertainment and music; behaviour and individual attitude about society. Post- WWII the Australian society developed unique characteristics…

    The Kaurna People of Adelaide and the Adelaide Plains know to the Aboriginal people as Kaurna Jantanya (Red Kangaroo Place) was owned by 300 Native Aboriginal peoples until the colonisation in 1896. Adelaide and the surrounding plains was an open, grassy plain with patches of trees and shrubbery where the Kaurna people lived and managed the land skilfully.

    Australia is a country that has been described as diverse, multicultural and unique. Our geography, flora and fauna and cultural history is different from anywhere else, which has definitely captured the attention of the rest of the world. Australian society has evolved in a very short space of time from the earliest convict settlements established in the mid nineteenth century, to the cosmopolitan states that currently exist and draw immigrants from all continents across the globe. Australia’s history has reflected conflict, human rights violations and the hardship associated with establishing a refined society in a harsh and primitive landscape. Throughout the various stages of Australian history, Australians have attempted to grab onto an…

    The treatment of Australia’s Indigenous community is horrific. Indigenous Australians lived on this land for thousands of years before the white European settlers came and took their land along with their lives. Since the settlers arrived they have been treated like animals, lesser beings to the white European settlers and their descendants. The treatment of Australia’s Indigenous population has improved since the settlers but is nowhere near where it should be. They are forced to live with negative stereotypes placed on them, poor schooling and working conditions.…

    "Given the history of the European colonisation of Australia, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are wary of white institutions and social welfare’ (Chenoweth & McAuliffe 2015, p.268). Identify and discuss one or two policies or pieces of legislation that have impacted on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and how the effects can be seen today. During the European colonisation of Australia, oppressive laws functioned to subjugate and control the indigenous population. The Aborigines Protection Act, 1909 (APA) (Cth) and the child removal policy were particularly devastating, stripping Indigenous people of basic human rights and freedoms, and robbing generations of their connection to their families and culture. Although the Act was abolished in 1969, the trauma…
