102815 Introduction To Indigenous Australia - Case Study

Task:

This assessment requires you to produce a fun and creative Community Case Study that identifies and discusses the local Indigenous Australian people of the land on which the student lives/works/or studies. The assessment is designed to assist you to ‘see’ this community from an Indigenous Australian perspective.

You are to provide a Case Study that discusses the traditional owners of the area, and you must focus on one key discussion point that relates to that specific Indigenous community. If you are an overseas student consult with you tutor to identify an appropriate community of choice.

You may choose from the following key discussion points:

• A significant or historical event from any time period (e.g. Community Reconciliation
  events/movements).
• A significant person associated with the area.
• A significant place or institution (e.g. a street or suburb sign that uses an Indigenous word/ place
  name).
• Contemporary views about that community.

You can include photographs or other forms of digital media; however, they should be relevant to the conversation, and captioned.
The 1200-word paper is to be written with at least 6 scholarly references, 1 as well as additional sources such as news reports, land council websites or government documents. The Case Study must include reference to Indigenous voices/perspectives2. The reference list is to be included on a separate page.
