Connecting with Culture: Indigenous Australian Experiences

What it covers

This unit examines contemporary culture as a construct through initiating or deepening the education of students in Indigenous issues. With particular focus on the world’s oldest living, continuing culture, students learn about the concepts of imperialism and colonialism, the diversity of Indigenous Australian people and culture, and a basic understanding of issues that define our experiences as Australian citizens in a postcolonial society. Fundamental Indigenous concepts are introduced, including respect and relationships, connection to country spirituality, and kinship. Students learn to challenge existing knowledge of Indigenous cultures and are encouraged to form their own connections to help underpin their knowledge of contemporary culture.
