Land Rights etc. TB p. 200-203
Here are Some points to consider when you are answering the questions on p. 203. Ensure that you complete each of the questions from the CYU and S sections in full sentences.
Look at the significance of the role of the Whitlam government and the Woodward Royal Commission in the Land Rights of Aboriginals.
How and why did the NT government appeal the decisions made by the Commission? Think about the population size of Aboriginals in the NT.
What was the main criticism of people who were against the celebration of Australia Day during 1988?
These are all important considerations for next week when we begin to look more specficially at Mabo and the Native Title decisions of the recent past.

Stolen Generation Powerpoint
Access the PP from class at the link http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/obeirne2.0-1170941-stolen-generation/ here.
Read through the PP. Don't just glance through it. I suggest that for every slide that contains text, you make at least one point about the information contained within. For every slide that contains an image, make a point that summarises the message portrayed by the image.
You are then to read through the three case studies given to you. Using ONE of these case studies, you are to answer the SC question given at the end of the PP. As the question carries five marks in weighting, it elicits at least five problems being discussed. Use the case study, and the points you have made from the rest of the PP to support your response.
Save your response as a WORD file, and then upload it as a comment below.
