AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the last few months I have been thinking a lot about identity: mine, others' and Australia's. Those thoughts finally came together when on the same day I was reading the Interim Report of the Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and listened to Fatima Measham's podcast with Nathan 'Mudyi' Sentance on faulty memories and cultural institutions. Place and identity are fundamental for each of us. They are what our First Peoples had taken from them. In thinking about who I am, I have come to the conclusion that without understanding our First Peoples and their story as told by them I really can't understand myself as an Australian.' (Introduction)
