Abstract:

This thesis reports on an exploration of the career aspirations and expectations of twelve female Aboriginal high school students in two different localities. It considers how cultural identity, racism, schooling, family relationships and employment opportunities influence these students' hopes and ideas. Aboriginal culture gives a prominent position to the Elders in the community and therefore this study also includes their views and the expectations they have for their young people. The research was carried out through a series of interviews. Throughout this study there is an emphasis on the importance of the participants own words and expressions, therefore it includes several quotes to capture their ideas rather than to impose too many interpretations. The participants views were structured within the systems theory framework. This framework was flexible and comprehensive enough to allow the students the option to place an emphasis on whichever areas or influences they felt were the most powerful for them. The family became the most prominent influence. The outcome of this research drew attention to the following issues. There was considerable difference between the two localities and this emphasised the danger in forming generalisations about Aboriginal people. The study also registered the impact of racism upon the students' self perceptions and expectations. Cultural characteristics such as a respect for Elders and a sense of community belonging dominated over concepts of individuality and autonomy. However the participants frequently expressed initiative as well as an awareness of the difference between the Aboriginal and White cultures, and they were often able to deal with this duality constructively when they considered their aspirations. It is recommended that practitioners in the field of careers and counselling should be sensitive to the issues raised in the thesis which can place particular pressure on young Aboriginal clients. Counsellors need to have a good understanding of Aboriginal history over the last two centuries as well as the impact of racism which can permeate the institutions of education and employment. ( The term 'Aboriginal' is used here in its generic sense to include Torres Strait Islanders. )

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the racism exhibited by Administrators, Pastoralists and Trade Unionists towards Aborigines employed in the Northern Territory cattle industry during the Depression years, 1929 to 1934. Their racism is examined within the framework of sociological and historical theories of racism. An historical evolution of racism is outlined, showing that from Colonial history emerged Colonial racism, which regarded 'natives' as an inferior race destined to serve as a cheap source of labour for European colonists. This racism occurred in two main forms: as a 'primitive' and violent racism; and as a 'civilised', paternalistic racism. The development of nationalism coincided with the rise of a Nationalistic racism which defined the nation as an homogeneous people, excluding all others as inherently inferior. As the colonial era drew to an end, and colonial 'natives' began to immigrate to Europe, their position within the modern nation-states became problematic. Where they continued to be regarded as a source of cheap labour, their exploitation provoked a racist reaction from the working class, referred to as Migrant Labour racism or Competitive racism. This thesis argues that European racism in the Northern Territory can only be fully understood if we consider that each of these forms of racism existed simultaneously. This historical anomaly saw the merging of a dependent colonial frontier with a modern nation-state, and the racist attitudes of the Europeans reflect this situation. The Administrators legitimised their racism with arguments of Social Darwinism while seeking to promote Nationalistic racism. Economic considerations, however, made the arguments of Colonial racism appear attractive. The Pastoralists exhibited Colonial racism in all its forms, both primitive and paternalistic. In their official dealings, they also utilised arguments of Nationalistic and Scientific racism. The Unionists exhibited a Competitive racism which was tempered by left-wing influences which advocated an end to racial discrimination as the only solution to Aboriginal competition. In each group, the manifestations of racism were complex and varied, revealing that racist ideology w as inextricably linked with social, economic and political considerations.

Florisson, Steven J. "Aboriginal Students Perceptions Of The Effect Of Vocational Education And Training On Post School Experiences." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2000. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1547.

Full text

Abstract:

Over the past decade there have been dramatic and unprecedented changes in post compulsory education, with an increase of over 40% for year 12 retention rates to 76.6% in 1992 and huge expansion of year 11 and 12 vocational education and training programs. However, for Aboriginal past compulsory age students, the picture is very different. In 1993 the year 12 Aboriginal retention rate was only 24.48% or 982 students (Australia wide), and by 1996 only 10% of the indigenous 15 and older population had any post school qualification, compared to 35% of the total population. Only 34% of West Australian Indigenous 15 to 24 year olds were employed compared with 56% of the total population. Aboriginal students not participating in education have been the subject of many reports, reviews and studies, but few of these have looked at Aboriginal vocational education and training and even fewer at the Aboriginal students own perception of education. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the experience of Aboriginal students who have been involved in secondary school vocational education and training programs at Wongutha Christian Aboriginal Parent-directed School (Wongutha CAPS) to ascertain particular experiences that affected the students in their post school situations. Apart from the value of sharing the experiences of Aboriginal students, it is anticipated that the conclusions of this study will: help identify methods of training that have been effective for Aboriginal students, help identify particular courses that more readily articulate into further training and employment, help identify the specific needs of Aboriginal vocational education and training students, help identify factors which have led to poor year 11 and 12 retention levels, and poor participation rates in employment, assist educators in developing vocational education and training curriculum that is relevant to the needs of Aboriginal students, and deleting from vocational education and training programs material that is not relevant. This study provides educators with a student's "inside view” of vocational education and training experiences. The study involves post secondary Aboriginals who participated in secondary vocational education and training programs at Wongutha CAPS for a period of six months or longer at some time within the past nine years. The study utilises a phenomenological methodology with data collection by interview.

Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2000. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1368.

Full text

Abstract:

Wadjela and Nyungar experts (of managerial, administrative, service staff), from the same South-West city location in Western Australia were randomly chosen from the non-government human service field for separate workshops and asked the question “what makes a non-government human service organisation effective?" The purpose was to compare the group consensus answer between the two separate workshop groups. The Nyungars are the Indigenous people in the South-West of Western Australia and the Wadjelas are the Non-Indigenous people living in the same area. The results listed five criteria, in order of priority that made non-government human service organisations effective. For the Wadjela community these were: I. A clear and shared vision of its task 2. Clear organisational structure which promotes strategic thinking and practice 3. Experienced and dedicated staff 4. Clear and client-based focus and strategies 5, Clarity of and relevant mission or goals. For the Nyungar community the results were: 1. A vision shared of Aboriginal culture and values 2. Appropriate management and finance incorporating Aboriginal culture and values 3. Recognition and identification of need 4. Diverse representation on Committee 5. Community involvement. Analysis and discussion of the findings were attempted from an Australian Indigenous perspective of people, place and parable. The conclusion is that the difference between Wadjela and Nyungar criteria in assessing organisational effectiveness in non-government organisations is that the former utilise a mechanical efficiency model and the latter a commitment to the whole community model. These differences were seen to be a contest between two world-views, that of a continuity of pragmatic relationships versus that of continuity of stewardship relationships.

Lopez, Susan. "Indigenous self-determination and early childhood education and care in Victoria." 2008. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/8551.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores how Victoria’s early childhood community negotiates colonial constructions of Aboriginality around dualisms such as Indigenous/non Indigenous and intersecting constructions of the child as ignorant or innocent of race and power both in concert and conflict with the non Indigenous early childhood community. It found a need for a reconceptualisation of Aboriginality around complexity and multiplicity as well as continuity and uniformity. Such a reconceptualisation can better address those issues of race, culture, identity and racism that see Indigenous communities marginalised within non Indigenous early childhood programs.
These negotiations around the colonial and the implications for Indigenous inclusion within the early childhood field are framed within post colonial theory which unites and connects major themes across tensions and contradictions. These themes act as a basis for each data chapter.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores place-based experiences of non-Indigenous persons in Australia. It examines the extent to which it is possible for non-Indigenous persons to enter deeply into Indigenous ways of seeing and/or knowing place and what the implications of this may be in terms of personal identity and belonging in Australia today. The thesis draws upon the emerging cross-disciplinary field of place studies and is embedded in the discursive space of the encounter between Western and Indigenous knowledge systems. The Indigenous concept of ganma, meaning ‘meeting place’, the meeting of saltwater and freshwater bodies, is the organising principle by which the encounter is examined. Because place-based experiences are the central focus of this study, phenomenology has been chosen as the methodological framework that can hold the complexity, multilayered meaning and ambiguity characteristic of the human experience. What informs this research is a hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry. The specific methods used to carry through such an approach involve three aspects: observations of and conversations with Aboriginal Yuin Elder Uncle Max Harrison in order to shed light on the cross cultural experience; open-ended phenomenological interviews with four participants who received land-based teachings with the Elder aimed at bringing forth the quality of their experiences; and first person phenomenological research through different forms of textual production that reflect the nature of deep engagement and dialogue with place. The discussion chapters confirm the complexities of the encounter between two cultures yet demand a rethink of the intercultural space, the ganma. A new notion of ganma is proposed where a shared sense of place between Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons is Participants in the research had a powerful and profound embodied experience of Aboriginal culture, of Aboriginal place or country. These outcomes derive not through borrowing from or wholesale appropriation of another culture, but from direct experiencing and through direct dialogue. The nexus of the interchange is revealed to be an exceedingly complex structure. First, place is no blank space - it is inscribed and saturated with meaning. Country continues to exert its influence, inform, evolve and reveal itself. The potency of country is particularly strong when that site is a sacred site. Second, the influence of the Aboriginal Elder, as mediator of the teaching sites, has considerable impact. Third, the individual’s own psychic contents are brought to bear in any relationship with place. It is posited that an unhinging takes place that allows the shift from one mode of experiencing reality, a Western way of inhabiting the world, to another mode, an Indigenous way of being in the world. The venturer into the new ganma straddles both worlds, is able to adjust to the transfer of knowledge from one cultural context to another and adopts aspects of both cultures into their new conceptual framework. This new merging of the ancient and the modern incorporates place as inscribed with ancient meanings and place with new meanings and new inscriptions. Narratives of place embody the evolving notion of switching modes of reality to switching modes of being as new ongoing forms that challenge existing cultural explanations. The integration of an Aboriginal worldview in non-Indigenous persons may be leading towards the development of a new sensitivity that connects us with place, more informed by Indigenous ways of being.

Abstract:

The past few years has seen the emergence of a critical assessment of the relationship between the ethnographer and the society being studied (for example see Agar 1984; Marcus and Fisher 1986). One result has been the recognition that '..ethnographies are a function of the different traditions of ethnographer, group, and intended audience" (Agar 1984: 783). I believe it appropriate to include here a summary of the traditions, influences and chance events that led me to ethno-archaeology and shaped the methodology I used.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis addresses the broader theme of coexistence between black and white Australians through an extended case study of the mediation of overlapping Aboriginal ‘heritage’ interests in land with the interests of non-Indigenous landowners and land managers in the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory (the ‘VRD’). The thesis shows that while an historical perspective reveals marked changes in many of the outward manifestations of intercultural relations (for example, changes in white categorisations of Aboriginal people from ‘station blacks’ to ‘Aboriginal custodians’, and changes in the conduct of relations from violent to non-violent behaviours), the overall tenor of relations has changed little. The VRD community remains ‘racially’ segregated, characterised by separate cultural domains, poor intercultural communication and entrenched Aboriginal marginality and socio-economic disadvantage. The thesis shows how recognition of Aboriginal heritage interests in land is largely determined by the parameters of this pattern of relations, which are analysed in the thesis through the themes of power, cultural difference and strategic action. The thesis also examines the Western paradigm of heritage, from its conceptual origins to the structures and processes which have subsequently been developed in Indigenous heritage policy, including heritage protection legislation and processes of consultation. The integration of heritage protection with development approvals processes has created many difficulties for Aboriginal communities in the VRD, whose heritage interests are often placed in opposition to the economic interests of the wider Australian community. The thesis endorses a coexistence approach to mediating Indigenous heritage interests with the interests and needs of non-Indigenous land owners and land managers. This must include effective statutory protection of Indigenous heritage interests together with mechanisms and resources to promote and negotiate voluntary agreements between Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders.
