AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Culturally we are now beginning to recognise what we have within us and state this to education authorities. Although we have a very, very long way to go I believe that it is important that we do this for three main reasons:

  1. The fact of the matter is that despite what we believe Australia has done to us we are in it and in its education systems and this will be the case for most of our students forever. Therefore, we must have an input.
  2. It is essential that the people in the education systems recognise that Aboriginal students are in the classrooms. For the administrators it is essential to recognise that their system is dealing with different children and that their teachers need to have information on different teaching methodologies that will allow their Aboriginal students to learn.
  3. If we as Aboriginal people and educators do not provide this information then no one else will. We have a duty to our own society and its students.'

      Series: Frank Archibald Memorial Lectures 1986 series - publisher essay

      'The Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture is an annual event held in honour of Mr Frank Archibald, a revered Aboriginal community member of the Armidale area. Frank Archibald was renowned for his knowledge and interest in all issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, particularly education.

      'The Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture has been held as part of the University of New England’s Lecture Series since 1986 and is dedicated to Frank Archibald, his family and Aboriginal people of the New England region. The Lecture is presented by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speakers who are leading professionals in fields such as education, law, social justice, government and the arts. When the University established the Lecture, its intention was to invite speakers to give public address on current issues which are important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with an emphasis on education.

      'In 2011 the 25th anniversary of the Frank Archibald Memorial Lecture was commemorated through a presentation by the founding Director of Oorala Aboriginal Centre, Ms Lynette Riley, who had established this lecture series at the University in 1986.'
