We would like you to join us on a journey in understanding the important issues of social justice and human rights for Indigenous peoples. We will do this by studying local, national and international indigenous communities from a cultural, social and economic perspective.
Different communities may be studied for each topic.
A comparative case study involves a detailed analysis of a:
- Local Aboriginal Community e.g. Yuin (South Coast), Gadigal (Sydney), Wiradjuri (Central Western NSW)
AND a
- National Aboriginal Community e.g. Tiwi (NT), Kaurna (SA), Yorta Yorta (Victoria)
AND an
- International Indigenous Community e.g.The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe (USA)
, The Ainu People of Hokkaido Ainu (Japan) , The Sami People in Sweden .
Students are to draw comparisons between the three communities chosen, thoroughly comparing and contrasting the experience of Aboriginal people and Indigenous people using relevant examples.
Through their investigation students are to show, throughout the course and in examination, an appreciation of social justice and human rights, including the types of racism, the power of racism, and Aboriginal and Government initiatives, to address racism in all three areas of the comparative case study.
Students are to choose specific communities when carrying out their comparative investigation.
