Slide 4

16:00

Still strong ideology that To be indigionous you need to be dark skin – this is offensive.

Aboriginality is not defined by skin colour

Defining Aboriginality

• Aboriginality is not defined by a person’s skin tone or where they live.
  
• Aboriginal people define Aboriginality not by skin colour but by relationships.
  Light-skinned Aboriginal people often face challenges on their Aboriginal identity because of stereotyping.
  Source: https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/people/aboriginal-identity-who-is-aboriginal#ixzz4reQVAByo

It is inappropriate to comment on the colour of a person’s skin in reference to their Aboriginality. For example saying "You don't look Aboriginal" to fair skinned Aboriginals is extremely offensive.
“It's this increasingly casual reaction to Indigenous achievement and success that is a marker of how far we've come. It's becoming unexceptional to have successful Indigenous filmmakers, artists, doctors, academics, lawyers, nurses and politicians. This is the other side, the often - and unfortunately - untold side, of the story we hear about Indigenous Australia”. Mick Dodson, Australian of the Year 2009.

Slide 5

Supporting Aboriginal Culture

What might be meant by the term Protective Factors?

Extended family

What could be an example of a protective factor for Aboriginal people?

How might an community services organisation support such protective factors?

Slide 6

Supporting Aboriginal Culture

• Protective factors:
• Enable people to feel proud of and connected to their culture.
• Have a sense of belonging.
• Connection to the land, spirituality and ancestry.
• Service providers need to encourage support for protective factors. For example:
• Providing Aboriginal staff
• Culturally appropriate facilities and services
• Use of imagery and symbols
• Importance of storytelling

When interviewing indigenous people, the story telling is called yarning, a very basic method of telling their story

Only recently their history has been recorded in paper, in the past it was passed on via yarning, instead of our way of using forms – which coulc make them anxxious.

Slide 7

Stolen generation? What was that about?

When the white people settling in Australia removed the children from the aboriginal communities to "educate" them.

Arran [really smart]: A practice of culture similation.

R: A form of genocide. Children who were removed were not allowd to practice their culture or their language and much later they could not locate who they belonged to.

Troy: Some people dont realise how recent the stolen generation really was.

R: It's recent history

Arran: There still practice of removing childrem and assimilating and removing the culture.

R: Ongoing trauma

When we look at how these people feel now...

Why so many people against referendum introduced by prime misnister.

Lack of information.
