Unit Description

This unit promotes awareness of aspects of cultural difference, diversity and complexity amongst traditionally oriented Indigenous societies in Australia and considers the continuing effects of colonisation on these societies. An examination of the assumptions and ideas that have been used to justify and rationalise the displacement and control of Indigenous people in Australia is also undertaken. The unit provides important conceptual and background information relevant to a range of professional environments.
