Aboriginal Cultures, Ch 14: Identity, racism and connection

SUBJECTS:  Civics and Citizenship, History

YEARS:  F–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10


How do you identify yourself?

For some of us our identity is linked to the way we look, but for many people, especially in a multicultural country like Australia, it is generally more complicated.

Does the way you look inform how you identify yourself?

Grace is a Yorta Yorta person, and her identity is linked to her connection to places, not how she looks.

Other than our physical appearance, what are some other ways we may identify ourselves?


Things to think about

  1. 1.Why do you think it's important for Aboriginal people to practise cultural activities?
  2. 2.Why do you think it's important for non-Aboriginal people to learn about Aboriginal cultures?
