In this video. Through a conversation between the two men, a brief overview of some of the rumors about the Aboriginal people of Australia during the colonization period is presented. For the first non-Aboriginal people to visit Australia, they believed that the Aboriginal Australians did not own the land. As a result, they expelled and persecuted Aboriginal Australians, something that could not have been anticipated in the mid to late 19th century. Aboriginal communities like Djadja Wurrung were soon invaded and destroyed by British colonists and could no longer be called Aboriginal communities. On the other hand, the colonial community stated that the Aboriginal people were a dying race and believed that those Aboriginal people who were referred to as mestizos by the colonists would be assimilated and thus disappear as an identifiable group (Attwood, 2017). This video was chosen because it was hoped that after seeing it, students would think more about Aboriginal people and what the country and land meant to them. At the end of the video, there is a quote about how the colonists thought we owned the land, but we thought it was our job to protect it. Indigenous people have lived on this land in Australia for tens of thousands of years and have a reciprocal and respectful relationship with the land (AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER, n.d.). Aboriginal lands are continuously maintained and given to them for habitation, while Aboriginal people guard and manage the land through cultural and other means. (AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER, n.d.). Land is related to every aspect of Aboriginal existence, such as culture, language, and identity. Indigenous peoples do not consider themselves to own it, but to belong to it. The land can give them awareness of identity and belonging (AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER, n.d.). This deep awareness of the land and the way it relates to them is also reflected in their language. The relationship between Aboriginal people and the land is called: the connection to the state. Therefore, it is hoped that this video will help non-Aboriginal students learn more about the history and past of Aboriginal people, the importance of the land to them, and respect for the land. It is also hoped that the students will feel the teachers' respect and tolerance for their culture, and that they will feel that everyone cares about them. In this way, we can better meet the requirements of AITSL Standard 2.4, and the resource has been assessed by YARNS as suitable for students to view and learn from.

 

This website showcases artistic achievements about Australian Aborigines. The entire site is accompanied by many photographs of Australian Aboriginal art and an introduction to the art of the Australian Aboriginal people. It is a good way to show students and give them a visual impression. Aboriginal culture and art has been around for tens of thousands of years. This is because it has been around since the Aborigines first settled in Australia. Aboriginal rock art from 20,000 years ago shows their spirituality and philosophy (AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER, n.d.). Therefore, it can be said that the development of Aboriginal art is complete and it shows the Aboriginal understanding of art and the development process of their entire people. Aboriginal Australians believe that art is tied to their identity and also goes a long way in ensuring the continued existence of their Aboriginal culture (Coleman, 2017). Australian Aborigines will often make comparisons between art and various symbols, and their paintings are arguably more like a form of heraldry. Their art shows their recognition of family, their connection to the land, where their origins come from, and authority, among other things (Coleman, 2017). Secondly, indigenous art also tends to place more emphasis on the discussion of deeper concepts, such as religious meanings and worldviews. Thus, it can be argued that art allows indigenous peoples to better understand and feel the culture of their land, the symbols of identity and the sense of belonging that the land brings to them (Coleman, 2017). On the other hand, indigenous art presents the story of the birth of the world and the creation of ancestral humans. It documents the proof of their survival on the land, their understanding of the land and their people, and their understanding of their identity. Indigenous art can also be referred to as the beginnings of art (Morwood, 2002). The selection of this teaching resource will allow non-Aboriginal students to better understand Aboriginal culture and the process of artistic development, allow them to understand that Aboriginal art is also rich and varied, and increase their interest in exploring Aboriginal art and the Aboriginal perspective on their art. It is also targeted to allow Aboriginal children to be proud of their own art and to feel a sense of tolerance and recognition of Aboriginal art, thus better meeting the 1.4 and 2.4 standards of the AITSL.

 

This video shows the traditional music of Australia's Aboriginal culture. The man plays a traditional Australian Aboriginal instrument: the didgeridoo. The didgeridoo is a wind instrument made from branches hollowed out by termites and has been around for more than 20,000 years (percentage points, n.d.) among Australia's Aboriginal people, according to statistics. Music is very important to Australia's Aboriginal people, who have an extremely sophisticated musical and artistic life, as well as a rich music and arts festival. Aboriginal music is most typically characterized by a combination of song, dance, and music. The most common form is singing and dancing while accompanied by musical instruments (Ross, 1986). Secondly, aboriginal music can also be divided into two forms, namely ceremonial and non-ceremonial. The former showcases more of the mythological totems and various rituals of indigenous survival. The latter is more about flora and fauna and the natural climate as well as perceptions of the land and country (Ross, 1986). Indigenous people use music to express their understanding of their identity. It is believed that everything that exists in the world is alive and has a connection to the heart and soul of the indigenous people. There is a kinship with the environment (AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER, n.d.). Australian Aboriginal music carries all the elements of Aboriginal development, including agriculture, life, love of the land and an understanding of one's identity. Music is also the most visual thing that can be felt, so this video was chosen to give students the most direct experience of Aboriginal music and an understanding of the diversity of that people's music. It also allows Aboriginal students to empathize with their own culture. This is because when Aboriginal students are disconnected from their own culture, it negatively affects their sense of identity and belonging, thus failing to bring meaning and purpose to their lives (Ross, 1986). After the YRANS assessment, the year was in 2017 resources were counted as available in recent years. The author is didget, a non-indigenous person, and the video introduction indicates that the song was performed by an Aboriginal person, indicating recognition of Aboriginal people. It was also filmed with the permission and cooperation of the indigenous people. Therefore, the entire resource is ideal for students to watch.

 

In this video, many Australian Aborigines get together and sing a song called "I am an Australian" in the first half in the Australian Aboriginal Pitjantjatjara language and in English in the second half. In 1788, there were approximately 250 languages spoken by Aboriginal Australians, so it is easy to see the richness of the Aboriginal language system in Australia (Dixon et al., 2006). Before the colonists entered Australian lands, there were nearly six hundred Aboriginal communities in Australia, with a maximum population of about one million people, and about nearly three hundred Aboriginal languages. Although the Aboriginal language systems are said to be large, they can be expressed as accurately as any language in the world, but at the same time are different from any language in the world (Dixon et al., 2006). And the Aborigines believe that language brings them a sense of belonging and security that they deserve, while the language that is exclusive to their group also represents their identity on the land. It is also an expression of their culture. The selection of this resource was assessed by YRANS for the year 2022, which indicates that the teaching resource is very close to the recent past, as students need to know the languages of these peoples and language groups, and teaching this is an indication that students in the area need to know these things. The video was also released by ABC Australia, which is a non-Aboriginal group, but the introduction to the video indicates that the song was sung by an Aboriginal group, showing recognition of a prominent Aboriginal group. The resource uses a combination of Aboriginal language and English to explain that Australia's Aboriginal people express their unity as a group. It demonstrates that Aboriginal Australians are still a large group with a large population in regional Australia today. Aboriginal groups are present in the resource, but are filmed with the permission and cooperation of the Aboriginal people. As such, it is a great way for non-Aboriginal students to learn about Aboriginal communities and their languages. to meet the standards of the AITSL.
