Aboriginal People History & British Colonization History Assignment Help

Assignment Task

Aboriginal history (Slide 2)

• Aboriginal history dates back much more than 40,000 to 70,000 years. Aboriginal people had their own society and they had the power to do anything until British colonialaization.
• Colonization (3)
• A few years after the settlement of the Europeans. Then they were overpowered by the European society which they hadn't experienced before. The European society has control of everything. During settlement, the Europeans did not consider the history of the Aboriginal people or the question of whose land it was.
• Impacts(4)
• New slide (5)
• In the mid-20th century the State's control over Aborigines started to be regarded as analogous to that which the common law permitted a father to exercise over his children.
• Slide 6
• Between 1910-1970, many Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families as a result of various government policies. The generations of children removed under these policies became known as the Stolen Generations. The policies of child removal left a legacy of trauma and loss that continues to affect Indigenous communities, families and individuals.
• Assimilation policy (8)
• The forcible removal of Indigenous children from their families was part of the policy of Assimilation. Assimilation was based on the assumption of black inferiority and white superiority, which proposed that Indigenous people should be allowed to “die out” through a process of natural elimination, or, where possible, should be assimilated into the white community.[1]Children taken from their parents as part of the Stolen Generation were taught to reject their Indigenous heritage, and forced to adopt white culture. Their names were often changed, and they were forbidden to speak their traditional languages. Some children were adopted by white families, and many were placed in institutions where abuse and neglect were common.
• Act of children (10)
• The first official power over children granted to the Board was through the Aborigines Protection Act of 1909. Before that, it had to rely on unofficial powers like stopping the food rations to the parents whose children did not attend school. Under the new legislation of 1909 children could be removed without their parents’ consent only if they were found by a magistrate to be ‘neglected’.
• Three years later the Board’s efforts were rewarded with an amendment to the Act, in 1915, which stated that any Aboriginal child might be removed without parental consent if the Board considered it to be in the interest of the child’s moral or physical welfare.
• Intentions behind this act (11)
• Hierarchy (12)
• in the late 19th century Social Darwinism and thinking about ‘race’ in biological terms came to dominate non-Indigenous thinking about Indigenous people. Those people who were of ‘mixed-race’ were then the subject of particular concern by non-Indigenous people and were seen to have both potential and to be a cause of danger they created a hierarchy of Aboriginality.
• Half-caste children were the progeny of a full-blooded native and a white person As white inheritance continued to be intermingled with the Aboriginal,
• Quadroons, people who were considered one-quarter Aboriginal and three-quarters white, and octoroons,
• After the generation of octoroon, the children were considered to be white by legal standards.
• Slide 13
• Aboriginal children were taken from their family all over the Australia.
• Civilizing process of stolen generation 14
• Children were separated from their families and forced to adopt a white culture, unable to speak their traditional languages or refer to themselves by the names that they were given by their parents. Most children were placed in institutions where neglect and abuse was common, while some children were adopted by white families throughout the country.
