Introduction
The aim of the unit is to further enhance student’s knowledge of Tasmanian Aboriginal history and culture within a National context and how this has influenced the Tasmanian Aboriginal community in their pursuit for self-determination and advancement from the 1950’s to today.
Students will learn about the impacts of policies, politics and land-rights whilst valuing the knowledges and life experiences that the students bring to the unit whilst providing yarning opportunities to share these perspectives. Students will develop their writing, research and critical thinking skills through a range of assessments in the classroom and “On Country” whilst examining how ‘Connection to Country’ and cultural practise has changed over time and its role in Aboriginal advancement and self-empowerment.
Students will also gain insight into the contributions of significant Tasmanian and National Aboriginal leaders and their impacts as students navigate the intersection of Aboriginal and Western Knowledge systems to develop their own voice and agency, whilst building confidence and resilience to buffer against assimilation .
