Extract

The bringing of Aboriginal culture to European children as well as urbanised Aborigines has long been a fundamental concern. I guess that my four years in a tribal situation (Indulkana, S.A.) brought the situation even more realistically to me. I often wondered what the reaction of teachers was when it came to the time to “do Aborigines” in the Social Studies curriculum, or on National Aborigines’ Day. Even for the most sympathetic teacher, the lack of materials, books and references etc. must have made the task daunting. All too often, I suspect that the subject was mentioned, glossed over and forgotten as quickly as possible, and for that, from a resource point of view, one cannot blame the teacher.
