INDSL1001 Indigenous History (1788-1967)
This unit is designed to enable students to describe and define the patterns of contact between European and Indigenous societies from the moment of British invasion in 1788 until the 1967 referendum. The unit examines and evaluates government policies in relation to Indigenous people in Australia throughout this period and explores the motivations and actions of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Indigenous/non- Indigenous relations. The unit also appraises the scale and nature of contact and conflict between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia and evaluates the differing attitudes of present-day historians, politicians and other public commentators towards this period in Australias settler-colonial history.
