Description

In this unit students will be introduced to various elements of Indigenous Australia. Students will study a broad range of issues of relevance to contemporary Aborigines and Torres Strait Islander people.

Issues discussed include identity, self-representation, spirituality, family, gender, land, politics, law, economics, education, health, history, art and music.
