Emerging from the principle theme of equality are the basic and life-altering needs that the Aborigines call for. The most basic needs are also courteous deeds. Aborigines are longing for "help" in times of assistance, to be "welcome(d)" and to have a "choice" in life. A need for an end to stereotyping and racial prejudice is expressed in the use of wording chosen by Walker. She articulates her anger towards defamation directed at the Aboriginal community.
From the time the British first settled the continent to the present, the Aboriginal people of Australia and the English-speaking Australian government have had a rocky relationship. For many years, aboriginal Australians experienced much discrimination and racism. Like Native Americans in the United States, the Aborigines were displaced from their tribal lands and forced into designated settlements. This was all part of an attempt on the part of the government and the European settlers to eradicate Aboriginal culture. Though overtly racist policies have now been done away with and formal apologies given, much of Aboriginal culture has been lost. Efforts to revive it are now underway, and at the forefront of these are efforts to revitalize and recognize the importance of the many Aboriginal languages and their variants. Unfortunately the more current policies of the Australian government have failed to be consistent. Though they may appear to support bilingual education efforts, policies are often poorly implemented and underfunded. In addition, Australian bilingual education policies tend to be inherently flawed due to a focus on greater English literacy, rather than displaying recognition of the value in preserving Aboriginal languages.
The reason for this report was to explain the steps that were taken to create and implement this action plan and the outcomes. My three actions were established to help carry out my vision of bringing together the two sides by creating equality and harmony. First I wanted to create a better understanding of Aboriginal history, culture and their people within my family and friendship groups. I tackled this by talking not only in-person but also over social media about the past struggles of Aboriginal people and reduce the stigma and misconceptions that surround Aboriginal people. The second action was to restore trust between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians by involving friends and family in public and activities and events that are related to learning more about what gaps need closing and coming together. My third action plan was to eradicate racism and as a way to contribute to this cause long term, I signed up to be a Constitutional Recognition Campaigner through ANTAR. As this campaign is about changing the Australian constitution to include Aboriginal people and also to remove sections that have to power to stop Aboriginal people from voting and sections that give the Australian governmen...
This essay will discuss the Aboriginal Education policies in Victoria and Federally and how these policies impacted upon the children of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. This essay will further analyse the impact these past policies had on the Aboriginal and Torres strait Islanders’ families and children’s education and how current policies were put in place to assist indigenous students’ access to education. Further to this an analysis of how teachers can implement these changes in the curriculum and classroom.
The inclusion of Indigenous cultural integrity in the curriculum would help build reconciliation (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], n. d; Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership [AITSL], 2017). Graden yarning circles can help bringing the practice of Indigenous protocols in classrooms. Teachers can arrange Welcome to Country and encourage students to deliver their Acknowledgement of Country (Queensland Council of Social Service [QCOSS], n.d). Linking the land and the community will teach students to build respect for the culture (Yunkaporta,
...een family problems, address the lack of appropriate education initiatives, progress the development of adequate employment opportunities, and alleviate problematic self-conceptions of cultural identity are realistic endeavors, which support cooperative relationships across cultures. Fostering these circumstances through engagement that warrants features of social bonding to be achieved by providing support in a way that does not minimize the experience of Aboriginal oppression will facilitate positive social change. This results in the possibility of ameliorating the complex injustices experienced by Aboriginal peoples today that are entrenched in the conditions of the past. Ultimately, these positive advancements will enable the adoption of pro-social values and solidify an environment that subsequently inhibits Aboriginal youth from resorting to gang involvement.
This strategy of developing a relationship with Aboriginal communities can be seen as one of the most important strategies in the regards to the realisation of meeting 1.1.2 (NSW DET 2008). These learning partnerships have been proven to be beneficial to the community on the whole, not only “giving credibility and integrity to the teaching of Aboriginal students and syllabus content related to Aboriginal issues” (NSW BOS 2008, p. 2) but also builds pride and confidence within the Indigenous parents and therefore their community. The NSW BOS (2008, p. 2) goes on to say that for a school to provide authentic experiences, skills and knowledge in context to Aboriginal studies; they must consult Aboriginal people. The AETP (NSW DET 2008) believe that consultation with Aboriginal communities will provide the support and knowledge teachers need to develop engaging and motivating learning environments and scenarios, demonstrate high expectations and work with Aboriginal students in their pursuit of ‘personal
Terminology, particularly as it relates to Indigenous peoples, can be tricky to navigate. A term that might be acceptable to some might be offensive to others. Because of this, many people do not feel confident using certain terms when referring to Aboriginal peoples. Fear of using the "wrong" word should never stifle important dialogue and discussions that need to be had. By taking a moment to consider the history of certain terms, it is very possible to learn and be comfortable with which words to use in which contexts.” (2) There are terms that have been used throughout history that today would not be deemed acceptable in society and that is why there needs to be a standard set across the board so that no one race of people will feel like they are being reminded every day and being discriminated against by these derogatory
...fficient training for health workers, communication barriers, a general mistrust in the health care system and culture shock has contributed to issues in delivering services to many Indigenous communities. The reason to why these issues have emerged is a result of two main factors, the lack of health services that are needed to address the issue and the silence of Indigenous communities which leads to misunderstanding between the government and Indigenous communities. Indigenous Australian’s experience this major disadvantage and neglect in the Australian society due to the poor healthcare system and policies that haven’t had a positive effect on the issue. For the issue of Indigenous health to be resolved, the Government and social policies need to address and meet the need of Indigenous people to overcome the poor health conditions that these communities suffer.

In conducting the research the authors outline the procedures they undertake. Firstly, they looked at the population of the Town Camps and a brief history of how Aboriginal people came to settle in Alice Springs. They also looked at the role of the Tangentyere Council in the lives of Aboriginal people and the broader community, and also the contribution of the Tangentyere Council Staff and the town campers towards the research. In the research team section, the authors see that in order for their research to become successful they need to involve both the residents living in the Town Camps and the Tangentyere Council employees to participate in the research process of their communities. The authors proposed that even though they don’t have university qualifications but they do have language, cultural, writing, and communication skills to communicate to their own people and this is important to achieve a successful research. However, these skills will help people to participate and work with one another in achieving a successful outcome. In the research training section, authors states that researchers were provided with educational training to ensure their safeness and confidence. However, this training also teaches researchers the skill of data collection for a successful research. Through this
In 1965, an Integration policy was introduced, meaning cultures embracing each other. Although many attempts have been made, including ‘Sorry Day’ and a ‘National Apology’ by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, the scars run deep and it is sad to know that there are generations whose roots will never be identified. As well today, self-determination is practised, which means that in any matter pertaining to Aboriginals, then, they have a
Indigenous Australians are now labelled as disadvantaged (Bonney, 2018a; Harrison & Sellwood, 2016). SES, healthy well-being, academic achievements, employment and access to services are all connected aspects (Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet, 2018). Due to being in the low SES group, it affects the healthy well-being, behaviour and academic performance of Indigenous students. While dealing with Indigenous students from low SES backgrounds; teachers must respect students’ prior knowledge, culture and language, promote flexibility and variety of learning experiences through using proper language and scaffolding (Devlin, Kift, Nelson, Liz Smith & Jade McKay, 2012; Ewing, 2013; Lowe & Yunkaporta, 2013; Partington, Beresford & Gower, 2012). These advice highlight teachers must self-reflect and evaluate their teaching strategies, whilst make themselves available and build rapport with students to know about students’ individual need.

To test the financial feasibility and plan acceptability, there must be information on the magnitude, and share of estimated project cost that are reimbursable. This information can be derived from cost allocation. Also where cost sharing is required in the multipurpose planning process cost allocation can be applied. Cost allocation also provides information necessary for allocating the real expenditures ensuring that the cost account are maintained in line with plan formulation and allocation principles during the subsequent c...
