The poem I have chosen today to recite is call 'No More Boomerang' by Oodgeroo Noonuccal, better known as deceased aboriginal activist, Kath Walker. Oodgeroo Noonuccal wasn't just an activist she was also an artist, educator and a campaigner for Aboriginal rights.
The poem “No More Boomerang” describes the lifestyle changes that the aboriginal people experienced during the settlement of Australia. The poem is about the fact the indigenous people have had to change their lifestyle because of white man arriving in Australia. In every stanza she would always give examples of how things were in the Aboriginal days and how they are now. An example of this is when she says “No more Boomerang, No more Spear, Now all civilized, colour bar and beer.”
