ASSESSMENT TASK 1 – Written Assessment
Part A
1. Describe the impact that one (1) of the following historical events, government policies or legislation has had on the current health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities, families and individuals (approximately 200 words)
• Loss of land
• Massacres
• Introduction of disease
• Assimilation
• Stolen generations
• Aborigines Protection Act
The NSW Aborigines Protection Board was established in 1883, a time when NSW looked towards a future as part of a federated White Australia. For many Aboriginal people of those times, this was a board not of protection, but persecution. The board controlled the lives and affairs of Aboriginal people in NSW from 1883 until 1969.
The impact of the policies of segregation, assimilation, child removal and wage withholding continued for decades and the negative results are still visible today.
They were also responsible for administering the various Half-caste acts where these existed and had a key role in the Stolen Generations. The Boards had nearly ultimate control over Aboriginal people’s lives.
Protectors of Aborigines were appointed by the Board under the conditions laid down in the ACTS. Protectors of Aborigines were empowered to undertake legal proceedings on behalf of Aboriginal people, dictate where Aboriginal people could live or work, and keep all wages earned by employed Aboriginals.
Aboriginal Protection Boards also issued permits to allow Aboriginal people the right to leave their respective missions and reserves and enter the mainstream society for a set period of time.
2. Describe the impact that one (1) of the following events, government policies and legislation has had on the current health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities, families and individuals ( approximately 200 words)
• Land rights movement
• Reconciliation policy
• Self Determination
Social justice
‘Language is at the core of cultural identity. It links people to their land, it protects history through story and song, it holds the key to kinship systems and to the intricacies of tribal law including spirituality, secret/sacred objects and rites. Language is a major factor in people retaining their cultural identity and many say ‘if the Language is strong, then Culture is strong”.
As part of the new legislation, the State Government said it would appoint an independent panel of Aboriginal language experts and establish a new languages centre.
For decades, speaking Indigenous languages was discouraged by state governments, missions and schools.
The NSW Aboriginal Languages Act 2017 became law on 24 October 2017. It was the first legislation in Australia to acknowledge the significance of First Languages. The Act commenced on 5 March 2020.
The Aboriginal Languages Act helped strengthen connections with culture and identity and improved the wellbeing of First peoples.
