AIATSIS. Virtual Dreaming: Everyday Life of the Darug People. Dharug Language for Primary School Students (incl. language intro videos) An important aspect of language maintenance and revival is familiarising more people, especially children, with the language in question.
To this end, it is valuable to introduce schoolchildren to the Aboriginal language(s) of the area where they live, if the Aboriginal community is happy for this knowledge to be shared. In videos on the pages hyperlinked below, Jacinta Tobin, from the Dharug nation, gives children a brief introduction to some words and phrases from the Dharug or Sydney language. These are particularly relevant for school students in the Sydney area who are learning about their local history and culture. Each video clip is only 45-60 seconds long and includes teacher’s notes with relevant Australian Curriculum outcomes for English (Foundation and Year 3) and Geography (Year 6). Whether or not the students belong to the Dharug community, these video clips will give them an awareness of and appreciation for the language. Indigenous Languages.

The Story from the Shore: first contact from an Aboriginal perspective. I had been asked to collaborate with four different communities along the east coast — Narooma, Kamay, Waalumbaal Birri and Possession Island — to create a 10–12-minute piece of cinema. While my practice is built on co-creation, this was the largest engagement process I had ever been asked to do.

Living with the locals: Six extraordinary first contact stories of friendship and survival. Not all stories of first contact between European settlers and Indigenous Australians were fraught with violence and mistrust. Whether lost or escaped, marooned or shipwrecked, exiled or on the run, many Europeans found themselves living with the locals, immersed in their cultures and languages. Some of these relationships were lasting and deep; many were compassionate and peaceful during a time of incredible upheaval. These men and women had a rare opportunity that few would ever experience: to get a true and rich inside view of Aboriginal cultural life pre-contact.
As a husband-and-wife team — coming from an Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspective — with a shared passion for the history of Australia's first peoples, we pieced together these incredible stories of disaster, survival, loss, faith and friendship. Six tales of survival from the history books. History: Colonisation : Working with Indigenous Australians.
Initial invasion and colonisation (1788 to 1890) The arrival of Lieutenant James Cook, and then Arthur Phillip in 1788, marked the beginning of ‘white settlement’. From 1788, Australia was treated by the British as a colony of settlement, not of conquest. Aboriginal land was taken over by British colonists on the premise that the land belonged to no-one (‘terra nullius’). The history of Aboriginal dispossession is central to understanding contemporary Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relations. Traditional Knowledge: cool burning.
