Content
This unit will examine the resistance of Indigenous peoples to European occupation and the ensuing colonial systems that sought to control their lives. The unit will discuss the different forms that Indigenous resistance has taken since European occupation of the continent and explore why Indigenous peoples have and continue to resist.
Students will critically engage and analyse Indigenous people's struggle in the face of changing government administrative regimes and persistent social, economic and political discrimination. Significant Indigenous defensive actions, letters, petitions, protests, labour strikes, Aboriginal societies, legal challenges, other principled actions, and political activism will provide a context for investigating Indigenous agency and political standpoints from early contact to the contemporary era.
