    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. I was exposed to so many dimensions of the different ways they lived, whether it was traditionally in remote communities or within the township. 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…

    “The sum total of all thoughts and intuitions, myths and beliefs, ideas and inspirations brought into being by the human imagination since the dawn of consciousness” is best defined as ethnosphere by Wade Davis, in his introduction to Wayfinders (2). He establishes the direction of this travel log with the introduction of culture: a dynamic and complex system that characterizes societies and from it flows people’s identity. As Davis immerses the reader into a series of indigenous people groups around the world, we are exposed to the DNA of these societies. Despite the diversity of lifestyles and languages, an evident ebb and flow threads these varying people groups together, creating the overarching themes of the book. Through a society’s culture, power, decomposition, and rebirth prevail, growing off one another and unveiling the cyclical undercurrent of humanity.…

    While some were welcoming, others reacted with hostility and sometimes Aboriginal peoples living close to the site of a landing by Europeans were killed. As the colonists, whose guns gave them the advantage over the Aborigines, made it plain they intended to remain and began altering the landscape, clearing trees and building fences, resistance grew among the Aboriginal people and they suffered increasing numbers of casualties. As the settlements expanded, Aboriginal numbers declined and their ways of life in many areas were destroyed with survivors beginning to live within or on the fringes of the new European communities. In addition, diseases such as smallpox, venereal disease, measles, and influenza, some of which were not life-threatening to Europeans, devastated Aboriginal people, who lacked immunity. The Aboriginal population may in fact originally have been several times higher than the estimated figure of 300,000 in 1788, when the first fleet of soldiers and convicts arrived to establish permanent European settlement.…

    When the settlers came the colonial government sold and leased land to the white settlers completely ignoring the deep spiritual connections the Aboriginal people had with the land. They believed that the aborigines would be happy to have new land because of the nature of the indigenous lifestyle. The aboriginals were unhappy with the dispossession of their land so violent clashes began leading to many deaths; to try and keep the land they settled on first. Violent conflicts happened because of cultural misunderstandings over land and fear and curiosity over the white settlers also. The war between both cultures became desperate and brutal as both felt like they were fighting for their survival.…

    Comparing some of Australia’s first definitions of aboriginal peoples, to the classifications used by countries all over the world, the audience can see that there are some overarching themes to these constructs. It is shown that aboriginal peoples were seen as ‘underdeveloped’, ‘backwards’ or ‘inferior’ than the colonisers which were concerned, in such representations as from…

    In light of the European colonization, Natives in the present day still have resounding impacts, which illustrates how durable the negativity the settlers brought truly was. An impact that remains in the present day is the deterioration of Native religions, which can be see through the religious patterns of Native American tribes. According to the University of Baltimore, Dr. Jerry, Fremand stated that there has been a considerable drop in those who subscribe to the traditional animistic religions- in which the premise is centered around the close bonds between people, animals, and the natural environment, and the harmony that must be shared. Fremlo stated that especially amongst descendants of the Hopi, Zuni, Algonquian, and the Iroquoi, they have claimed to be a members of religions such as christianity, hinduism and islam (Bates). Granted, colonization is not necessarily the conclusive cause however, the Europeans brought along with them, new religions in which the Indigenous tribes were not necessarily aware of or exposed to.…

    When Colonisation took place the Europeans did not only take Aboriginal people’s land, but also had a great impact on their health and housing. Harris (2003, p. 81) states that between 1788-1990 the Aboriginal population was reduced by 90 per cent. There were many factors that lead to this outstanding decline in population; some of the major ones were diseases, loss of land/identity, and the overuse of alcohol and substances. According to Oxford Second Opinion, it states “the health status of Indigenous Australians at the time of the British invasion was better than that of most people then living in the UK” (Gray, Saggers, and Stearne 2015, p.151).…

    “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be reworked, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” The acknowledgement of history is vital in an individual’s progression to remedy past mistakes. “The Secret River” illustrates a narrative about 19th Century Australia, whilst simultaneously making comment on the treatment of Indigenous Australian’s at the time. The racist attitudes of the white settlers in the story can also be seen as the foundation of contemporary-day Australia’s casual racism. “The Secret River” articulates a vivid image of the unjust atrocities that the Aboriginal people encountered.…

    When Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 the world had no idea what the effects on the environment would be. The interaction between the Europeans and the New World Inhabitants of North and South America and Africa, as well as Asia is still relevant in the ecological impact that took place between their encounters during the Age of Exploration and onward. The exchange of ideas was the utopian ideal but the utter truth was that the natural environment and human stewardship of that environment during this new global encounter was altered for the worse. This paper will examine the great exchange between different cultures and examine the ecological imperialism that was carried out by Europeans.…
