Poem - If it wasn't for the footprints by Zelda Quakawoot

Poem - If it wasn't for the footprints by Zelda Quakawoot

# data[].attributes.body
The poem "If it wasn't for the footprints" by Zelda Quakawoot takes us on a journey through Australia's history by emphasizing the importance of Aboriginal history to the country. The central message of the poem is that Australia's history would lose its meaning and depth without the footprints of the first Australians.

The first two lines of the poem emphasize the fundamental role of footprints in the past. They make it clear that Australia's history would lose its cohesion without the Aboriginal footprints. This thought takes us back to the beginnings, when the first people arrived in Australia some 65,000 years ago.

The reference to the divided paths in the second stanza not only refers to the paths of the Aborigines, but could also be symbolic of the shared history of the Aborigines and later settlers. These shared paths shaped survival strategies and cohesion in the Australian landscape.

The third vers, dedicated to ancient footpaths, reminds us of British colonization from 1788 onwards, which not only influenced Aboriginal people but also shaped colonial history that extended into the 19th century.

The traces of the first Australians mentioned in the poem could refer to the Aborigines, who not only left cultural footprints, but also shaped the land itself. The mention of 'land and lore' could indicate the deep connection Aboriginal people have with their environment and culture.

Finally, the poem emphasizes the importance of acknowledging Aboriginal history, without which Australia could not know a history "from this land that was 'before'". It encourages the understanding and respect of Aboriginal footprints as an integral part of Australian history.

The cartoon shows a judge at a table in front of which two indigenous people are standing. One of them is holding two spears, the other a boomerang. The scene gives the impression that a discussion or negotiation is taking place. The Indians' facial expressions look unhappy, while the judge appears disinterested and unimpressed, as if he is not interested in the Indians' concerns.

In my opinion, the cartoonist wants to point out how Australia's history is characterized by disrespect and injustice towards the indigenous peoples. The depiction of the judge as indifferent to Indigenous concerns could point to historical events where Indigenous communities were not given due consideration in negotiations for their land and rights.

In my opinion, the cartoon's message is a commentary on the historical and contemporary struggles of indigenous people in Australia, particularly in negotiations over land and rights. It highlights the disrespectful treatment and lack of acknowledgment that indigenous communities have often faced. The cartoonist wants to make us think about the ongoing challenges that indigenous populations encounter in asserting their rights and the importance of recognizing their historical connection to the land.

The depicted compromise, where the Indigene say, "We keep the land, the mineral rights, natural resources, fishing and timber, and in return, we'll acknowledge you as the traditional owners of it," could be a satirical comment on the unequal power dynamics in historical and present-day negotiations between the Australian government and indigenous communities. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the complex and often unjust history that shapes the relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
