Australian’s First Peoples’ the traditional custodians of the land we know of today were invaded by the European settlers who for economic purposes laid claims to land dispositioning Australia’s First People (Dudgeon, Milroy & Walker, 2014, p. 7). In 1905 an act named as the Western Australian Aborigines Act 1905 saw a Chief Protector of Aborigines become the legal guardian of all Aboriginal people. This saw the removal of children from their families and further dispositioning of Aboriginal people. Between the years of 1900 and 1972 approximately ten to thirty percent of children born were removed from their families equating to an estimate of thirty

    It has been estimated that over 4500 Aboriginals were killed in Tasmania between the years 1804 and 1834. By the middle of the 19th Century the aboriginal population looked as if it would diminish altogether. Around the same time, during the gold rush era, race became a major issue on another front. ‘The numbers of Chinese on the gold fields created numerous clashes and ultimately led to the development of the ‘White Australia’ immigration policy and played a key role in the federation of Australia in 1901’ (Foley, 2000, pg. 6).…

    The Australian myth by Pund-jel, the Creator, started out by cutting three large sheets of bark with a big knife. He then formed a human, he first made the feet, then the legs, then the trunk, the arms, and the head. He made a clay man for each of the pieces of bark and began to dance round them to bring joy. Next he took bark from a eucalyptus tree and made hair to stick on the heads of the clay men. He then laid them down, blew his breath hard into their mouths, their noses, and their navels until they woke, spoke, and rose up as full-grown men.…

    The evolutionary perspective is best used to describe the family bonds the children have for their mother, and the sociocultural perspective is best used to describe the motivations behind the social and cultural factors behind the Aborigines Act of 1905. To further develop the interaction between the white Australians and the Aborigines I offer three concepts: social dominance orientation, institutional discrimination, and social…

    The policies of Assimilation and Protectionism had detrimental impacts upon the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) communities throughout Australia prior to 1965. While Protectionism aimed to be a ‘smooth pillow to die on’, the policy of Assimilation culturally mixed the races. Assimilation was a policy implemented by the Australian Government which integrated ATSI into the Australian Society, this policy aimed to make Aboriginals ‘similar’ to white Australians and culturally mixed. As a result, this policy would extend the language, culture, beliefs, clothing and manner of living of the ATSI race but would genetically ‘die out’ through natural elimination. The most tragic aspect of the policy of Assimilation was legalised kidnapping which contributed to the ‘Stolen Generation’, this event makes clear that the ATSI faced a loss of identity, beliefs/spiritual, connection, bonds/ties, culture, taken from family such as biological parents, and a disconnection to the Indigenous heritage and traditional knowledge.…

    From the onset of the invasion of Australia in 1788, supported by the claim that Australia was uninhabited land, ‘Terra Nullius’, a ripple effect of disadvantage began which resulted in intergenerational discrepancies in the educational outcomes of Indigenous Australians. However, the unequal outcomes of Indigenous Australians were, and often still are, attributed to the belief of Indigenous Australians’ inherent inequality to Whites. This is despite the fact that the systems established in post-invasion Australia perpetuated this very inequality through structural and institutionalised racism. The views of race and racial hierarchy which sanctioned these systems continue to linger on and pervade areas of society today, albeit often in a more…

    The term ‘Stolen Generation’ was devised by Australian historian Peter Read in the early 1980’s. It refers to those Aboriginal children who were forcibly removed from their families by government and non-government agencies under racialist assimilation policies and laws. The removals of these tens of thousands of Aboriginal children occurred throughout the late 1800’s to the 1970’s. The reasoning for this situation arose when the public felt that the Aboriginal children were disadvantaged in their communities and if the children were removed they would be placed in a loving family with a better education for a more civilized upbringing.…

    Politics of Indigenous Recognition Analyse the broad shifts that have taken place in Australian society since the end of the Second World War, and how those historical changes have shaped the contemporary nation There has been an abundance of injustices suffered by the original owners of our land which still continue to this day but since WW2, which occurred from 1939-1945, Indigenous Recognition has been one of the rapidly changing important issues in Australian society.

    These decimating impacts are further substantiates through the Ku Ring Gai people, where certain sacred sites in Ku Ring Gai National Park were destroyed during the period the Second World War as land was used for military purpose and traditional people became disconnected from their land. Furthermore, the stolen generation instigated the fragmented kinship groups and culture as children denied any affiliation with Aboriginal culture. Today, more than 10% of Aboriginal people over the age of 25 have been separated from their natural families under the influence of the stolen generation- separating them from land and kinship groups. However, this figure is gradually improving due to government inquiry and the “bringing them home”, report in 1997. Thus, the continuity of the…

    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…

    The concept of National Identity has long been disputed when it comes to Australian history. What is the process of cultivating national identities? According to social theorist Benedict Anderson, nations are often times “imagined” in the sense that not all citizens could ever possible know one another. National Identity is cultivated from a sense of belonging, that feeling of cohesiveness and national pride experienced from citizens of a certain place. National Identity could be described as fluid in its definiton, it’s constantly changing and being contested.…

    The country of Australia was built on racism. This land was taken and those who first came here, such as Matthew Flinders and James Cook. They took the land away from the indigenous people of Australia and killed them off with no remorse. They looked at them as if they weren’t even human, as if they weren’t even worth keeping alive, and yet those same very people end up being revolutionary names in Australian History and even having universities named after them. Even after the complete settlement of Australia, we saw immense amounts of racism coming from the government.…

    "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…

    Indigenous people were unable to testify before the law to defend their own. “In less than 20 years we have nearly swept them off the face off the earth, we have shot them down like dogs”. They were made outcasts on their own land, for what had been theirs for the past 60,000 years was snatched from beneath them and they lost total control of what was truly theirs. Between 1909 and 1969 the government took away aboriginal children from their families putting them into institutions and care by white people in attempts to ‘civilise’ them. Almost…
