Australian Aboriginal Society

Indigenous Australians are probably descendants of the first modern humans to migrate out of Africa to Asia, roughly 70,000 years ago, arriving in Australia around 50,000 years ago.

In Australia they speak English with an accent, and also some Greek. There major religion is Christianity. Australians play lots of cricket, football, horse racing, and rugby. In Australia, the temperature varies a lot depending on your elevation and your distance from the coast and outback. Australia is known to be the driest continents in the world. It is very hot and dry in the Outback. The outback covers most of Australia, its in the center of Australia. Australia is the 6th largest country in the world, and has some of the oldest geographic feature like the Ayers Rock! Australia is also surrounded by tons of islands. The great barrier reef is the most visited place of Australia, it runs along the northeast coast of Australia. There are many animals in Australia that are only in Australia. More then 80% of there animals are only found in Australia. Some of there best known animals are the Kangaroo, Koala, DIngoes, Echinda, Platypus, Wallaby, and the Wombat. Australia also has lots of plants, there are an estimated 27700 plant species in

Australia was first claimed by Captain Cook in early 1770, but it wasn’t settled until 1788 when the first fleet of 11 ships arrived at Botany Bay, carrying 1,530 passengers - mostly convicts, as well as some marines and officers. They moved to Port Jackson to begin establishing a settlement. Specific prisoners were chosen for the trip, the ones with skills in building, farming and other things that would have been useful to create a “liveable” environment for the new inhabitants. The first “free” settlers only arrived in 1793, thus beginning the colonisation of New South Wales.

The first popular sports in Australia were cricket then horse racing and more. Sports started in 1810 after tournaments were held. The first games of baseball were played in 1890. The Australian Baseball league was founded in 2009. There are 6 teams in the league. The teams are Brisbane Bandits, Sydney Blue Sox, Perth Heat, Melbourne Aces, Adelaide Aces and Canberra Cavalry. In the National Football League there are 18 teams. The population of Australia is 24.13

As Beard recognizes, "Native peoples often serve as reminders of a place, an occasion, or, most often a mythic past, and they are expected to perform that identity in the present" (494), what this quote speaks to is a kind of conspicuous performance, a social construction of Aboriginal peoples that pivots around a variety of stereotypes and systemic racism. Writing from the position of a pre-service secondary English language arts (ELA) teacher, my motivations in this paper involve using Marilyn Dumont 's poetry as a way to address Beard 's concerns, "[building students '] capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect" (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 7), while simultaneously teaching them how to analyse poetry. More specifically, Dumont 's series of beading poems, in her collection The Pemmican Eaters, provides an opportunity to engage high school students in a discussion around the significance of cultural practices, while at the same time revisiting the interplay of Canadian histories, both Aboriginal and colonial. At the same time, I will also describe Dumont 's use of irony, which Andrews explains as a cultural ethos that is a unique element of Plains peoples’ Indigenous art (3). Introducing this uniquely First Nations brand of irony to students may work to give life to Aboriginal culture, bringing "Native peoples . . . [out] of the mythic past" (Beard, 494) and into the present. Finally, the act of beading itself ties directly to

protest for their rights. For example, civil rights movements were essential in supporting the Aboriginal People. The Australian Aboriginal Rights Movement aimed to gain full citizenship for Aboriginal peoples. This effort in Australia was one of the largest civil rights movements in the last one hundred years across the globe. These Australian Aborigines suffered from significant racial oppression and dispossession. The Aboriginal Movement was defined by student protestors such as Charles Perkins, who displayed the power of public protest through the Freedom Ride of 1965. The Freedom Ride focused on enlightening the world on the discrimination the Aboriginal people faced each day, so the Aboriginals could ultimately become equal with the whites in Australia, Progress was also made through the political process with the Commonwealth 1967 Referendum, which led to a review of two discriminatory provisions regarding the Aborigines in the Australian Constitution. However, the Freedom Ride was more influential in ending many social and economic inequalities for Aborigines than the Commonwealth Referendum because it shone a light on the struggles Aboriginal people faced, served as a lesson to the Aborigines on how to resist discrimination, and created momentum for making real changes in Australian society that benefited the Aborigines.

During the late 1700-1800s australia was made up of separate colonies, a country struggling to stay intact, low food supply and numerous convicts entering Australia. Throughout the 1700-1800s sutian reform changes have allowed the thriving development of Australia to be a completed country, such as the wool industry and gold rush.

Australia is a nation without limits scene, society and more rooted archaic rich economies in the world. Australia is the sixth largest country in area and is the main country to represent an entire land mass. A wonderful native habitat caliber of different qualities and extraordinary life, Australia is a destination for travelers from all over the world and 10 percent of biodiversity in the world and an impressive number of local plants and creatures he n ' There is no other place on earth. Rainforest in the north to the red deserts of the interior, the snowfields of the Australian Antarctic Territory in the southeast, is a vast region and changed. Australia is home to one of the most experienced companies in the world living with indigenous

The social determinants of health are arguably more important than the biological determinants of health in determining what the health of an individual will look like through their lifetime. There are many social determinants of health such as culture, disability, income, education and social environment but these detrainments do not impact a person’s life individually. Social determinants do not work in isolation rather they indicate that a number of factors and or determinants of heath determine the health and the quality of life of individuals; in Richard Wagmese’s Ragged Company, social environments and culture are two social determinants of health that work off

In 1770, New Holland, now known as New South Wales, was discovered by Captain Cook. He sailed all of the coast before reporting back to the British government about how suitable this land would be for settlement. As the land was not cultivated by the aboriginals living on it, the land was identified by the government to be uncivilised.

Aboriginals or indigenous Australians are the native people of Australia. Aboriginals were nomadic people who came to Australia about 40,000 – 60,000 years ago from Southeast Asia. Religion is a great part of Aboriginal culture. The essay answers these questions: What do Aboriginals belief? What is a Kinship system? What is Dreaming and Dreamtime? What rituals does Aboriginals have?

A third consideration in regard with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is the meaning of sovereignty. The discourse on sovereignty is obscure and non-reflexive. It situates itself somewhere between moral axiology, social ideology and political and legal authority. The link between sovereignty and politics within the public discourse often mask oppressive power relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people (Prokhovnik, 2015). Furthermore, the mainstream political discourse undoubtedly takes sovereignty “as though it really were an uncontested foundation”, which erases the significance of the Indigenous as the first nations (Prokhovnik, 2015, p. 415). For the settlers, perhaps their self-importance as imperialists was more valued than embracing new notions of nationalism (Ward, 2001). For them, the establishment of colonies represented the expression of the external power of sovereign European states, even if only possible as a result of conquest, and their colonies “were considered sufficient justification for the imposition of sovereign power” (Patton, 1996, p. 149). Unfortunately, this unresolved ambivalence about the colonisation of Australia has also left the peoples of this country with an ambivalent identity (Connors, 2001).

From the year 1760 to the year 1860, Australia’s bushrangers time covered almost a hundred years from the first convict

Australia was colonised by Britain in 1778, and this triggered immigration from Europe and the United Kingdom. Since then, Australia has seen patterns of people from all over the world coming in waves to start a life here, for reasons such as wanting to improve their quality

Since James Cooke’s possession of the entire Australian east coast in 1770, followed by the arrival of the first fleet in 1788, British perceived domination has caused momentous and historic controversy between the rightful owners of the land, the aboriginal people, and the early settlers, the British.
