  On 29 April 2023, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour on the land mass of Australia, after his extensive navigation of New Zealand. Later the British planned Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony(Strafkolonie). Out of these plans came the first European habitation of Australia at Sydney Cove.

• The consequences of colonization on Indigenous Australians were devastating. Most scholars have estimated that the Indigenous population before European settlement was between 300,000 and 750,000 people . Between 1788 and 1900 their numbers were reduced by as much as 90 percent.

• This drastic decline was the result of several factors: One was the loss of their traditional territory, or Country, which had sustained Indigenous peoples for many thousands of years. Another was exposure to new diseases brought by the colonists. Yet another factor was violent conflict with the colonists. The Indigenous peoples who survived colonization saw their lives forever changed.

What opinion about the colonization of Australia is the painter trying to express (ausdrücken)?

• The printer wants to show us how good the British were and how strong they were. In the picture the painter shows the might of the British.

  
  

Who were the first people to come to Australia after the British settlement? What was life like for them?

• On 26th January 1788, the first ships with British prisoners reached the continent. The first settlement was built in a small bay on the east coast, the Sydney Cove.

What impact did European colonization have on the First Nations people?

• Europeans brought diseases (Krankheiten) from overseas

• Aboriginals had to face (sich stellen) violence (Gewalt), and some even death 

• White people pushed them off their land, Aboriginals were racially discriminated and denied for a long time in Australia

• 26th January

• marks the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet (Flotte) in Australia 

How is Australia Day celebrated?

• Community Festivals, concerts and citizenship (Staatsbürgerschaft) ceremonies

Some First Nations communities call this day 'Invasion Day'? Why? What are people protesting against?

• the British people occupied (besetzt) the land from the Aborigines, which is the reason for the loss of their land, language, culture and family 

• not only do they call that day “Australian Day” but also:

  Invasion Day

  Day of Mourning (Trauer)

• Wanted to stop the childrens Families and Communities from passing on their Cultures and identities

• this means you can‘t live your Religion or Culture Like you want

Who are the 'Stolen Generations', and why are they called that way?

• The Stolen Generations are children who were „stolen“ by the Australian government ( Regierung ), so white people could adopt them
  

What effects did the policy had on the Stolen Generations (to this day)?

• The government explained it as a matter of welfare (Wohlfahrt), saying that the children were living in poverty (Armut )and would be better off if raised by whites. It was said that the children would receive an education and job preparation “with a view to their taking their place in the white community on an equal footing (gleichberechtigt) with the whites”.

• The day aimed to raise awareness (Bewusstsein), express remorse (Gewissensbisse), and demonstrate solidarity with the Stolen Generations and their families.
  

What apology did then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd make in 2008?

• He said he was sorry for taking the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children away from their families.
  

How did people react to his speech? What has changed for the First Nations communities after his apology? 

• After his apology people started recognizing the historical wrongs (Fehler) against first nations communities in Australia. But challenges like indeginous rights (unbestimmte Rechte), health, and education disparities (Bildungsungleicheiten) are still there. Progress has been made, but there‘s more work to do.
