Boodjar Moort Katitjin: Introduction to Indigenous Heritage and Knowledge

Aveling N. ‘Don't talk about what you don't know’: on (not) conducting research with/in Indigenous contexts. Critical Studies in Education. 2013 Jun 1;54(2):203-14.

The subject in question is the involvement of non-indigenous researchers participating in studies throughout the aboriginal community. Research from non indigenous investigators can be disguised as “a metaphor for colonisation”, accumulating mistrust in the community and potentially damaging cultural relations.

    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…

    Students are provided with the opportunity to be enriched by the modern view on the ongoing racism towards viewing Indigenous people as humans and not regarded as primitive animals (Thomas, 1994). This is exemplified in “Christ, son, you’re going to a hell of a lot of trouble for an old Abo skull”(Danalis, 2009, p.61) which may suggest the disrespect that Danalis’s father views about Indigenous people. In a sense, it provides an opportunity for students to study and identify with stereotypes and regardless of culture, students are also able to relate to Danalis’s experience of racism towards Indigenous people (Weinstein, 2003). Additionally, “Underneath the folder symbol appeared the photo caption: ABO” (Danalis, 2009, p.68), represents a powerful slang term for identifying Indigenous people. Students are aware that racism still exists in the contemporary period and are able to become knowledgeable of other cultures such as the enriching culture of Indigenous Australians (Allard, 2006;…

    Lecture 1: Respect, Dignity and Culture This lecture, on Aboriginal cultural safety, was an informative emersion into the Aboriginal way of life. It helped me, personally, begin to develop, an understanding of Aboriginal’s culture and traditions. However, in my limited life experience, interactions with Aboriginals, have been through negative observations. From news bulletins on television, write ups in the community newspaper, to crossing the street and avoiding a swearing, intoxicated Indigenous male. It is a real contrast, to the respectful Aboriginal introduction Gningla Taylor presented, when Aboriginals encounter another person.…

    The United States was one of four countries who originally did not sign the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, (UNDRIP) in 2007; it has since signed but has not fully committed to the Document. This begs the question, is the United States in compliance with this Declaration? The United States was the last country to endorse the UNDRIP in 2010, three years after its ratification.…

    I come to this work as a graduate of the 2002 class of the Detroit Public Schools (DPS). My experiences as a student activist in the district has shaped my subsequent life experiences and academic research interests. Though traditional educational research methods have emphasized neutralizing personal bias in research design in order to achieve an imagined objective viewpoint, this dissertation has been intentionally developed in relation to my experiences in the city and its schools. Further, this relation afforded me numerous opportunities that advanced this work that otherwise would not have been possible. Rather than represent a limitation of this study, recent scholarship highlights how mutually constitutive relationships in research contexts…

    NAME PROFESSOR NAME COURSE NAME DATE The Native American Visit It is very seldom that a person thinks about the Native Americans, their culture or even where they are in today's contemporary world. However, one of the most interesting and by far life changing events was visiting the Cherokee Native American reservation located in Oklahoma. This reservation was unlike any other place ever experienced for a variety of different reasons including the level of depression and anguish that was seen across the people I interacted with. Upon entering the reservation, there was a constant feeling of despair and historical injustice that penetrated the eyes of every person I asked for directions.…

Because by the time they have tried to understand the role of gender in the Aboriginals. The Aboriginal way of living has changed, the European way of living has impacted on aboriginal culture.

    Witnessing has many different meaning associated with it. The definition that will be used in this essay is “the study of a group of people for the purpose of understanding their way of being, culture, and history.” The Museum of Anthropology (MOA) invites people to witness aboriginal culture so that they may learn about the indigenous way of life. While visiting MOA one may find themselves viewing exhibits that range from spiritual artifacts to drums played by tribes in Papa New Guinea. European settlers have affected the indigenous people in a very negative way, this too is displayed at the MOA.…
