Aboriginal Australia Anthropology 22ABA QUESTION ONE What do we understand by the phrase ‘traditional Aboriginal culture’? ... In many ways the Australian public has also been largely dependent on painters, photographers and other forms of authorities to form what they see as being traditional Aboriginal culture. The earlier understandings of traditional Aboriginal culture have all been completely localized in that their disappearance, due to the consequences of early white settlement, has been overshadowed by a new construction of their identity. ... Aboriginal people have been managed in such a way by the state, so as they have had direct control over just about every aspect in their life including the make-up of their identity to white Australia. ... (Jeremy Beckett, The Past and the Present) QUESTION FOUR Summarise the key features of classical Aboriginal kinship systems. ... They form what is known as a part of aboriginal law. ... Sharing is also a fundamental norm amongst Aboriginal kinship. ... (Jeremy Beckett, Being Black) QUESTION SEVEN What are the main features of Aboriginal ownership, control and use of country? Aboriginal society is based on the acceptance of personal obligation rather than the exploitation of privileges. ... Directly linked to the emergence of Aboriginal identity, land rights provides a way to attain self respect and economic security. ... But for the Aboriginal people, ownership of the land is not political or economic, it is spiritual. ... QUESTION FIVE Summarise the key features of ‘The Dreaming’ in its different Aboriginal manifestations. When we look at Aboriginal dreamtime we are dealing with the constant dreaming of the spiritual lives of Aboriginal people today. ... In Aboriginal belief they are just as alive today as they ever were and they will continue to live on in the future. |
