But the Europeans didn’t only stop by taking their land they also tried to change their way of living and cultures.

    Despite living in a time of formal equality, Indigenous Australian youth still face many challenges growing up in contemporary Australian society. The marginalisation effects of poverty influenced lifestyles, in conjunction with the stereotypical opinions the dominant white Australian society obtain, influence one’s self worth and esteem, and consequently, their ability to thrive in this modern society. The 2001 motion picture, ‘Yolngu Boy’ directed by Stephen Johnson, clearly demonstrates how Australia’s Indigenous youth are influenced – both negatively and positively – by two opposing forces: the historic Aboriginal traditions, and the modern western culture. However, the film additionally replicates the interdependence between the two conflicting

  • Billy Jacking Informative Speech

    1658 Words  | 7 Pages

    Upon initial encounter, the apology is recognized but once the viewer becomes aware, Bennett has cleverly reconfigured and remixed the apology to reveal a prideful testimony of colonial intent, objective and execution. The remixed ‘un-apology’ makes it irresistible bait for an “ass whopping”, only Billy Jack could deliver which many intergenerational survivors would appreciate. The remix essentially exposes the colonialist project, which was “designed to colonize Indian minds as a means of gaining access to Indigenous resources.” In general, Bennett masterfully depicts colonial residues, the trans-generational violence of exploitation of land, resources and colonial subjugation. The medium of film and media work as an effective tool to create a dialogue between these characters of different decades, time and narrative is conflated and transcended the historical wrong doings that are felt today, the past influences the present and future, or in another’s words, “history is amendable, but knows no past, present and future; it knows no long or short time, no ‘long ago’ or ‘recently’ – as absolutely unique and nonconvertible moments”

    Indigenous Australians, in many states, were denied full citizenship on grounds of their race. Migration laws were set up at every opportunity to support "white" European outsiders to Australia. However, gradual change in people’s perceptions began in the late 1960 's. Racism all through the 1960 's impacted the characters in the way that it improved certain qualities, and got the perusers to additionally comprehend the characters themselves, and in addition feel certain feelings towards them. Supremacist mentalities and activities are obvious all through the novel. For instance, the Lu family are over and over separated because of the way that they are Vietnamese migrants.

  • Theme Of That Deadman Dance By Kim Scott

    [Title] ‘That Deadman Dance’ by Indigenous Australian novelist Kim Scott is an exploration into the cultural divide between aboriginal and white men in post-colonial Western Australia. In the novel, Scott imagines a semi-fictionalised history of the Noongar people and non-indigenous people (both British settlers and American whalers) in a landscape closely inspired by his hometown, Albany, and the surrounding area on the south-east coast of Western Australia. The main character, young Noongar boy (and later man) Bobby Walabanginy is the driving force of the novel, and his perspective allows us to assess themes subjectively through his worldview, but also more broadly through our own.
