    Artists hold strong power in their community. Thousands of people come to view their art, and from that art they gain a message. Throughout history artists have used imagery to communicate their beliefs to their audience. Sometimes it’s emotional, or there could be no message at all, and sometimes it’s about social, political or cultural issues. Two Australian artists that have conveyed this are Arthur Boyd and Noel Counihan.…

    During the time of European settlement between 1750 and 1918, there were a number of effects on the Aboriginal people living in Canberra. The major effect was the decline of the Aboriginal population within the area. This decline was mainly due to the introduction of diseases such as smallpox and measles and the incline of the Aboriginal peoples hunting experiences resulting in less food. I believe that the European settlement caused the Aboriginal population within Canberra to significantly decrease and see this as the main effect of Aboriginal people within Canberra and surrounding the Canberra region. Before European Settlement begun, the area which is now known as Australian Capital Territory belonged to the Indigenous/Ngunnawal Australians…

    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia are substantially over-represented in the criminal justice system. This is caused by an interplay of complex historical and contemporary factors including dispossession of land, structural disadvantage, systemic racism, intergenerational poverty and trauma, over-policing, substance misuse and mental illness, tough-on-crime policies and the chronic under-funding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal and interpreter services.…

    The artistic director of the Bangarra Dance Theatre, Stephen Page noted of the spiritual aboriginal dance of ochres, the following, “As substance ochre has intrigued us. Its significance and the myriad of purposes, both spiritual and physical has been the driving force behind this collaboration. The portrayal of each colour is by no means a literal interpretation, but the awareness of its spiritual significance has challenged our contemporary expressions.” This quote tells us that the traditional use of ochre within aboriginal culture is important and significant and the portrayal of each colour within the dance is not a literal interpretation but rather the portrayal of each colour does not uphold exact meaning but shows us contemporary interpretations.…

    He was born on Napperby Station, three hours North West of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Like most young Indigenous men in his situation, he spent his early years working as a stockman, receiving no formal education. He became a talented wood carver, and started working at his local school teaching wood carving. It was at this school in 1971 Geoffrey Bardon, a local art teacher gathered a group of local men to create a group called “The Painting Men”. Possum Tjapaltjarri was somewhat reluctant and was one of the last to join the group. The group started with large murals on the the school walls and then snowballed from that point on. Possum Tjapaltjarri soon established himself as a superior member in the painting group. A 2004 exhibition by The Art Gallery of New South Wales spoke of him as “...an expert wood-carver who took up painting long before the emergence of the Papunya Tula School in the early 1970s. When Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri joined this group of ‘dot and circle’ painters early in 1972 he immediately distinguished himself as one of its most talented members and went on to create some of the largest and most complex paintings ever produced”. (Art Gallery of New South Wales, 2004). The Group “The Painting Men” later became renamed as Papunya Tula Artists, where Possum Tjapaltjarri was chairman from…

    Colonialism and oppression have acted as a tool in allowing First Nation youth to succumb to the social cycle of cultural shock “Certainly the agenda of aggressive assimilation through the residential schools has left a large, dark legacy and certainly we, as First Nations people, are trying to move forward from that” (Moore, D., Native school conditions, para. 27). Aboriginal youth may need to leave reserves to attend post-secondary education, but tend to be overcome with differences outside of the reserves. There are not enough social supports to aid in the adaptability that many youth are faced with. This leaves them lacking in the ability to be successful in their education, therefore returning to what they know to their cultural atmosphere. Colonialism has left an impact on many generations of Aboriginal peoples, for any persons that experienced it and survived, they were traumatized and left with long lasting effects that have been passed down to their children and grandchildren “In 1967, there were only 200 Aboriginal students enrolled in Canadian Universities out of a total Aboriginal student population of about 60,000” (McCue, H., Aboriginal people: Education, para. 17). Those that experienced residential schools have…
