Available to Bachelor of Indigenous Studies students and other undergraduate students.

This subject examines the continuing effects and legacy of colonisation for Australias Indigenous people from Referendum up to present day. Issues such as education; health; law and justice; the inter-generation effects of past practices and the reconciliation process are examined. The controversy surrounding the Native Title and Wik debate will also form a major aspect of this subject. Indeed, many reform agendas associated with the policy of self-determination are examined and the importance of community responses and initiatives in achieving satisfactory outcomes are considered. This subject not only deals with issues affecting Indigenous people, but the overall Australian community .

Learning Outcomes

• analyse the impact of specific legislation and policies on Indigenous Australians from Referendum to present day;
• recognise the complexities of contemporary Indigenous issues and focus on the efforts and initiatives that have been undertaken by Indigenous people to work toward self- determination;
• critically analyse and formulate strategies for achieving social justice issues, including whether reconciliation will be achieved through a treaty or other document.
