20 p. : ill., map ; 21 cm.Traditional Aboriginal Society was an oral culture so that the history, stories, and songs and knowledge of Spirituality, Laws, Customs and Values were communicated verbally for thousands of years.The invasion of Europeans caused destruction of tribal groups by disease and killings. It limited the use of language, exchange of stories, land use and the important performance of rituals and ceremonies. Europeans used their world view as a mirror and through their observations, documents, diaries, reports and stories were full of racist comments and ignorant opinions of a lifestyle and culture of which they had little understanding.This book was the result of many months of research by a group of Swan Hill Aboriginal Educators. It is an attempt to present limited information about the history and lifestyles of the Wemba Wemba and Wathi Wathi people, the Tribes of the Swan Hill and Lake Boga areas.1. aborigines, australian -- victoria -- swan hill -- history -- juvenile literature. 2. aborigines, australian -- victoria -- swan hill -- social life and customs -- juvenile literature. i. baxter, bruce. ii. title., other: wemba wemba tribe -- wathi wathi tribe -- aboriginal educators.

288 p. : 3 maps ; 22 cm.Blurb: On Boxing Day 1803 a young English convict named William Buckley escaped from Victoria's abortive first settlement, at Sorrento.For the next thirty-two years Buckley survived in the wild, mainly because he was adopted and helped by the local tribes.In 1835 Buckley rejoined the civilization he had cast aside, emerging to meet Melbourne's founders. He became an important guide and interpreter in the crucial first years of the European conquest of the Port Phillip region.Then, as the Aborigines were engulfed by the flood of white men, Buckley found himself in no-man's land, mistrusted by his former black friends and by the white society who so misunderstood them. He was reviled, so harshly that his reputation has suffered to this day.This is William Buckley's story. It is a story based on fact, about a real Robinson Crusoe who was unique in Australia's history.And it is also a story of European intruders imposing their savage will on an alien, ancient continent. Rarely has Australian history come more alive than in the pages of this remarkable first novel. Buckley's life with the Aboriginal people of Port Phillip between 1803 and 1835; subsequent life in white community ; includes glossary of Aboriginal words (p. 271-280).buckley, william, 1780-1856 -- fiction. | novels in english. australian writers, 1945-. texts | convicts -- australia -- history -- fiction. | history - biographies - non-indigenous | settlement and contacts - penal colonies / convicts | settlement and contacts - colonisation - 1788-1850 | race relations - attitudes | language - vocabulary - word lists | kurnai / gunai people (s68) (vic sj55) | port phillip / western port area (vic sj55)

41 p. ; 25 cm.In October 1987, the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody was established to find out why so many Aboriginal people were dying in prison - 99 between January 1980 and May 1989 alone. Since then, tragically, there have been another 25 deaths.The findings of the Royal Commission and its recommendations have been widely publicised since their release in May 1991. They catalogue the terrible history of dispossession and oppression of our people. The Commission makes 339 recommendations on how the past hurt and current disadvantage of the Aboriginal people can be redressed... The main themes to emerge not surprisingly, underline many of the issues raised in the Royal Commission's Final Report - the plight of families of the deceases, Aboriginal / police relations, the lack of access to land, substance abuse, appalling health, inadequate housing, and the pressing need to provide education and employment for our youth.australia. royal commission into aboriginal deaths in custody. | prisoners, aboriginal australian. | prisoners, aboriginal australian -- death. | prisoners, aboriginal australian -- mortality. | prisons and race relations -- australia. | police -- complaints against -- australia. | aboriginal australians -- social conditions. | aboriginal australians -- criminal justice system.
