Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People of Australia
Response related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia.
Dispossession: the dispossession of the Aboriginal land by the white settlement. The white settlement took over the Aboriginal land making the Aboriginal dispossess it . ABORIGINAL DON’T OWN THE LAND THEY ARE PART OF THE LAND.
Paternalism: the government thought the Aboriginals lived appallingly so they tried to help them and force them to live like the white people. They were given food and other resources.
Segregation: the government separated Aboriginals into separate environment and segregated from the white population because of fights between them. The Aboriginals were sent to mission stations.
Integration: the government tried educate them forcibly for the Aboriginal to become like the white people and live like the white people.
Assimilation: the government policy was made to take the Aboriginal children away from the family and train them to be like the white people.
Self-determination: the government decided to let the Aboriginals take care of themselves by offering them jobs and decisions of their own.
