denied Batman’s ownership of the land because he had negotiated with an Indigenous tribe and Richard Burke declared the treaty would "void as against the rights of the Crown” because the British Crown already owned all the land in Australia. This was a negative impact of the treaty on the Europeans because it meant that in order to now own the land, they would have to negotiate with the British government, not the Indigenous peoples. If John had not ventured to Melbourne and not bothered with…

to The Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages (VALC) the Woiworung people lived in the area beginning at the Yarra River, up to Gardiners Creek, and in the southeast next to Dandenong Creek. In the north, the Dividing Range from Mount Baw Baw to Mount Blackwood. The Werribee River was their westernmost point (ALC, 2016). As such I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land the Woiworung people. I recognise that Indigenous Australians have an ongoing connection to…

Blog: Critical Reflection During the time of the European invasion of Australia, many of the events that occurred have left a lasting impact on the Indigenous people in Australia and have made me feel quite astounded as to how a group of people could treat anyone in that manner (Axelsson et al. 2016, pp. 1-7).

Since the dawn of Australian cinema our Indigenous culture has been in the spotlight. However, it has not always been as positive as we see in today’s film, originally, the indigenous were depicted as evil, savage and primitive sub human animals that would hinder the development of Australia early in its “white life”.

The determination of colonialism is based on extending sovereign authority beyond the borders by establishing an administrative dependency in a particular territory. The indigenous communities are compelled to submit to the colonial rule or get displaced. Colonialism is built on imperialistic tendencies where the colonial authority exercises domination over labor, markets, and resources. Consequently, the colonial establishments may impose linguistic or socio-cultural structures effectively…

violence receive similar ‘punishments’ in law, after becoming considered a serious crime with far reaching harmful consequences, especially for women and children (Mills 1998: 307). Article two (Willis, M 2011, ‘Non-disclosure of Violence in Australian Indigenous Communities’) primarily…

Indigenous Youth and their oppression in a modern white Australia We may be living in a time where social and cultural equality is becoming an important issue and topic in many countries. However here in Australia Indigenous Australians are still being oppressed and marginalised by a dominant white culture. Aboriginal youth have been born into this dominance but arguably suffer from the stereotypes the most in today’s society. The films Yolngu Boy and Black Chicks Talking highlight these…
