Positive work being done in Australian schools.
Powerful article by Louis Nowra December 27, 2008.
was doing a search on Australian Aboriginal astronomy to teach to my ESL and literacy students, when I saw you! I was intrigued by an article in the Sydney Morning Herald, "Were Aboriginal Australians the World's First Astronomers?" and through subsequent research, we have found that they probably were. I'm looking for suitable (i.e. plain English) resources and lesson ideas to develop - this topic would make an amazing web quest.
This is the first in a series of two lessons focusing on the stories and life of traditional Aborigines. This lesson focuses on Dreaming stories and how copyright relates to this oral literature.
DNA evidence linking Indian tribes to Australian Aboriginal people supports the theory humans arrived in Australia from Africa via a southern coastal route through India, say researchers
Outdated but may be interesting to adapt.
There has been much discussion lately on the news and in the
newspapers about whether the Australian Government should make a formal apology
to the Indigenous people of Australia for the Government policies of the past
which have affected them.
The Prime Minister has requested a group be appointed to help
advise himself and other central community representatives on how Australian
people view saying "Sorry" to the Aboriginal People.
You have been appointed to that Advisors group, which consists of
an historian, a reporter, a health worker, an anthropologist and a
librarian.
Together with your other team members, you are required to
investigate the issue and then report back your findings.
Many useful links. Also animated stories, lesson ideas, and worksheets for comprehension.
