As a result an integrated thematic unit on Remembrance Day has been created. Adopting this…

The first recorded use of Aboriginal trackers was in 1834, the British found the aboriginals very skilful in tracking people and also navigating through the Australian landscape. The Aboriginals had an unsuccessful resistance to the settlers’ occupation of the land, this was due to their…

Indigenous Australian had been living in Australia since 50,00 years ago. They lived by hunting, walking place to place, building homes, etc. But when the British came, the ritual that they’d been applying to their daily lives gone. The white people came and took away their lands and start building their own business. They took away the indigenous Australians kids and was known as the stolen generation.

With 4.9% of Canada’s total population consisting of Aboriginal people, their voices and rights were always ignored throughout history. Canada’s reputation with Aboriginal rights is still developing and becoming better because of the changes to the Indian Act in 1951, the creation of Bill C-31, and the suicide crisis in 2016. Firstly, the change to the Indian Act in 1951 is one of the main reasons why Canada’s reputation with Aboriginal rights is still developing towards a better reputation…

The native culture of Australia includes a large number of resistances the oceanic continent before the arrival of the white man.

When I asked many of my Asian friends about their impression about Australian people, almost no one thought of Aboriginal people at first. I recalled a friend’s excitement about his first holiday last year down under where his only perception about the Aboriginal people is the boomerang bought from a souvenir shop in Melbourne. Before coming to Australia, my impression about them was limited to black curly hair people living in the outback, boomerang, didgeridoo, traditional dance typically…

The pre contact Indigenous society was egalitarian, were everyone’s roles were equally valued. Egalitarian does not mean that the roles of each individual were equal but that the tasks of the elderly, the women, and the men were of equal value because the Aboriginal understood that each individual had an equal fundamental worth.
