This is called creating rapport.…

    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…

Your research consists only of typing the topic into Google and copying down the definition that pops up, and that is it. When you go to give your presentation, you put up a slide with only that definition on it. How well do you think that presentation will go? Probably not real great because the context is missing.…

    The whole book itself is a good example for young students to see how involved anthropology is in our everyday lives. She proves that what may seem to be a very basic culture can have multiple subcultures within them, both being intricately structured. Her countless examples of surveys, interviews, and observation helped me understand how data can be transferred into her ethnography and help her come to more accurate conclusions. Nathans ethnography could be of great gain to only students and professors studying anthropology, but also your everyday American citizen.

    The study of literature enables students to interpret complex themes that assist in forming an individual’s identity and their sense of community (Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards [BOSTES], 2012). The text “Riding the black cockatoo” (2009) by John Danalis explores an individual’s journey to discover his own identity, in an Australian context. This resonates between the feud between “White” Australians and the Indigenous people and is relevant to the syllabus as it is required for students to study an Australian text that provides “insight into Aboriginal experiences” (BOSTES, 2012, p.24-26). Furthermore, it introduces the intense theme of the issues regarding the Indigenous populace throughout the colonial period to the…

    Through the progression of this course, various aspects of history were viewed, in addition to concepts that are still associated to the lives of Aboriginal peoples today. While carrying some previous, biased knowledge on the topics discussed, First Nations Studies allowed the development of many ideas as well as the differing perspectives on each. Via the use of assorted reading selections, tutorial discussions, guest speakers, lectures, and a variety of other forms, I was able to take away a unique understanding, different to the one I had prior, which in turn educated me on Indigenous communities. This course attempted to bypass the anger that has been accumulated over the years, and portray information in order to avoid further issues…
