This subject examines a variety of changes that have occurred in Indigenous societies
in Australia, Canada and Aotearoa/New Zealand since colonisation. The impact of change
will be analysed in relation to traditions, culture and social organisation. Students
will explore the meaning of colonisation, globalisation, technology and economic development
for Indigenous peoples as well as the consequences of climate change. A case study
approach will use both contemporary and historical issues to show how Indigenous peoples
are dealing with change. Students will be introduced to issues and ideas through on-line
learning including the discussion board and email, digital media and reading materials.
Therefore it is essential to have access to the World Wide Web to complete this subject.
Students who do not have access to emails should notify the Subject Coordinator.
