2.1 Why is it important to identify credible sources of information about local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and history? In your answer explain what it means to say that a source is credible. Address the ways in which credible sources of information contribute to an educator’s learning and understanding, and can be used. a credible source means the information is accurate, true to its origins, reliable, not mired in stereotypes, valid and verifiable and accepted by the indigenous population. it is important to use credible sources when seeking information about indigenous culture and history to ensure that it is correct and adequate so we are not teaching wrong and potentially disrespectful information. 2.2 Explain why it is necessary to reflect on the way in which historical issues affect First Nations people across the generations. You can address the question by explaining what reflection is and identifying how reflection can help educators deliver an appropriate, culturally safe service. Your answer can be a summary of the information provided in the text reflection is the process in which you review the knowledge or actions you are doing/have been doing and how you can improve them to. by doing this educators can assess what areas they are not knowledgable in and can improve this to be able to deliver an appropriate, culturally safe service. educators can do this independently but should also be given the opportunity to do so within the company they work for. 2.3 You wish to consult with elders and members of a community to gather information regarding the local area, community customs and the historical experiences that impact on people and their descendants as a result of colonisation, and on their perspectives of children’s learning and development.

What protocols should be followed when organising and participating in consultative processes with the community? You can use the text to answer this question but you should conduct some extra research to provide a complete answer. Protocols are ethical principles which guide behaviour in a specific situation. These protocols should be used and followed to when dealing with people from different cultures as this not only shows respect it also develops your culturally appropriate work practices. Cultural protocols are the principles of behaviour that we use to show respect to each other. Every culture has different ways of communicating, and in order to be able to work with someone from a different culture in a respectful way you need to understand how people might see, value or express things differently. The cultural group identified in Toogoolawah was Aboriginal and Torres Strait. Some of these protocols are listed below; Acknowledgement of traditional land owners. When organising a meeting, event or conference, it is respectful and good practice to acknowledge the land in which you are meeting and its original custodians. When interacting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples avoid using direct eye contact and choosing to focus on a neutral spot during a conversation will be understood. Be aware and respectful of relevant extended family and kinship structures when working with Aboriginal people. Ensure that extended family is included in important meetings and in making important decisions. Another protocol to be respected when dealing with members from Aboriginal or Torres Strait communities is to understand that body language is often more important than verbal content. Be aware of your own body language and the impact it can have on your engagement with these community members. Pronunciation or accent is a fundamental differentiation of Aboriginal English from Standard Australian English. Even though the words used have the same meaning, some Aboriginal people tend to pronounce words and letters differently; letters are overcompensated, left out or substituted. Do not imitate Aboriginal speech patterns or assume Aboriginal people will be more open with you by attempting to speak Aboriginal English with them.
