On Country Learning: Indigenous Studies

This subject provides an in-depth study of the historic Indigenous political struggle for racial equality, land justice, heritage control, and for self-determination, by focusing on the Yorta Yorta as a case study. It embraces a number of relevant Indigenous political and historic themes. These will focus on pre- and post-contact history, colonisation, government policies and administration, land/heritage management, and the Yorta Yorta politico-legal struggle for their inherent rights to land, heritage, water and self-determination.
