Winter School Program

Indigenous Culture & History
This course will introduce students to Indigenous culture and history. It will consider traditional Aboriginal Society practices and structures, including Indigenous religion and beliefs (kinships, lore and the Dreaming), and relationships to the land and environment. It will then introduce policies and events that have affected Aboriginal society since colonisation, including policies that led to the Stolen Generation, welfare and church practices, Protector practices, social policies of segregation, and policies of self determination. Students will undertake a number of local field trips which will provide a range of experiences of traditional Aboriginal Dreaming Stories, Aboriginal Art/Artefacts, and Aboriginal Political Activism.'

For further information, see the University Course Planner.

Please be sure to check your email & myuni regularly for updates on tutorials & lectures - not all courses offer tutorials in the first week of teaching.

Readers & Courseguides

All readers are now available for purchase through the Image & Copy Centre.
