The Australian Curriculum currently is struggling with incorporating indigenous perspectives as a key focus in the curriculum properly. It is lacking the ability to normalise indigenous knowledge and instead represents

Throughout history, many different cultures illustrate their history and their beliefs through various artistic objects that they create. These artifacts allow historians to better gage their lifestyle, their beliefs, and how their society operated. One example of this is the “Drum Beater” sculpting created by Karoo Ashevak that is especially famous for its illustrations of the shamans and the spirits. In this research paper, Karoo Ashevak’s “drum beater” will be dissected and analysed; from the Inuit culture itself, to the physical features of the sculpting, as well as the significance and symbolism of the sculpting as it relates to the Inuit culture.

Should NFL Players Kneel? Athletes in sports, mainly in the NFL, have been expressing their feelings towards the police brutality on minorities. Athletes showed their feelings toward this subject by kneeling during the Star-Spangled Banner, instead of standing up high while holding their hands to their hearts. But, after this “extremely dangerous” protest, in Alabama at a Trump rally, President Trump acknowledged this controversy and said, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, you’d say, ‘Get that son of a b---- off the field right now.’ Out!

The people of Inuit, Yup’ik, Unangan, and other Native Americans Indians have lived in the harshest environment on Earth from Siberia, across Alaska and Canada, and to the East of Greenland along the coast of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. From Labrador to the interior of Alaska the Athapaskan, Cree, Innu, and other Native’s people lived in the subarctic region of the land.

Finally this book made me realize that even if it not always fun waking up and going to school, an aboriginal student would love to do what we do. During their time going to school was brutal, they would wake up very early and finish classes pretty late without being treated good, they would get beat for absolutely nothing at all. I want the reader to learn by reading my conclusion that we are in a very lucky society and not everyone has the same chances trough their

Aboriginal Studies and Torres Strait Islander Studies include histories, cultures, values, beliefs, languages, lifestyles and roles of Aboriginal societies or Torres Strait Islander societies before and after invasion.

I respectfully acknowledge the past and present Nooongar Whadjuk people on which land Curtin University is based and of the Bindjareb Noongar people, the traditional custodians of Mandjoogoodrap (Mandurah) the land on which I live and work.

I respect the vibrant, endless culture that past and present Noongar people bring to this boodja (country).

There are many people involved in the National College Athletic Association. Whether it is a manager, a coach, a student-athlete, or even a sales associate, those jobs make the NCAA happen. Without them, this association would not be where it is today. All jobs involved receive a pay-cheque, all but one; the student-athlete. The contract for the athletes indicate that they will receive a free education as well as free housing during their stay in the NCAA as a student-athlete; yet they don’t receive anything that is necessary for survival, such as food and water. The NCAA student-athletes deserve to receive some sort of fair payment for their hard work and dedication to their sport and organization.

Indigenous literacies are used to communicate certain messages that are meaningful to the people in that individual community. These literacies are used to communicate stories, laws, maps, songs and dances to their own society. These forms of literacies are seen as being crucial to the cultural community as they are used to convey the social practices that should be handed down through the generations. Indigenous literacies may be interpreted in western cultures as art but they are actually narratives and recounts that Indigenous people generate. Indigenous literacies derive from different worldviews and connection to a range of components. They are then shaped and reiterated through knowledge systems that highlight knowing one’s stories of kinship. Indigenous Literacies are seen in forms such as on tress, bark, wood, sticks, rocks, carvings, in the soil and on bodies and

Thirteen Reasons Why is about a teenage girl, Hannah Baker, who committed suicide. Each chapter of the book is centered on her cassette tapes, which tell the audience every reason she presented as to why she killed herself. These tapes were sent out to the 13 people who Hannah believed had an impact on her decision to kill herself. The book begins when the narrator, Clay Jensen, arrives home from school and sees a box full of tapes on his doorstep. He takes the box inside, opens it, and finds seven audiotapes and thirteen stories.

The Australian Indigenous community hold extremely significant corrections to the land of Australia, of which they refer to as ‘Country.’ Indigenous people acquire deep meaning from the land, sea and the countless resources derived from them. This special relationship has formed for many centuries. To them ‘Country’ is paramount for overall wellbeing; the strong, significant, spiritual bonds embody their entire existence. Knowledge is continually passed down to create an unbroken connection of past,

Australian Aborigines are thought to have the longest continuous cultural history in the world. Yet, within a hundred years, the near extinction of the Aboriginal culture almost occurred. This single event, the invasion of the Australian continent by European settlers, changed the lifestyle, the culture, and the fate of Australian Aborigines. Their entire lives were essentially taken away and they were forced into a white, European world where the lifestyle change could not have been any different. Aborigines in Australia today are struggling to deal with a past in which they lost touch with their culture and now are trying to regain some of that cultural identity.

The following paper examines the history and religion of the ancient Maori people. It is my belief that exploration of traditional belief systems and ritualistic practices will lead to a greater understanding of the Maori culture in present-day New Zealand. The objective of the paper is to illustrate the Maoris’ unique perception and spiritual connection with their natural environment.
