This subject explores Indigenous lived realities through an Indigenous lens. Using the theoretical concept of the lifeworld, the focus is the Palawa/Aboriginal People of Lutruwita/Tasmania. The subject also includes a comparative study of Noongar (WA) and Navajo (US) Peoples to demonstrate the shared historic, socio-cultural lifeworld as well as lifeworld distinctiveness. Country is integral to Palawa knowledge and wellbeing, and core learnings are built around a series of virtual tours of country. The end-of-subject on-country tour guided by Palawa Elders and Knowledge Holders offers students a personal learning engagement with Aboriginal people and culture. Equipping students with a greater understanding of the Indigenous lifeworld also enhances understanding of their own lifeworld and how it locates them in relation to Indigenous peoples.
The journey into an Indigenous lifeworld in this subject focuses on Palawa story, history, and Country. Students will explore the history of Lutruwita/Tasmania through Palawa perspectives, knowledges and worldviews from deep history to the present. The Palawa story is told in this subject by Indigenous voices in literature, art, and/or film. Country is integral to Palawa knowledge and wellbeing, and an exploration of Country offers students a personal learning engagement with Aboriginal people and culture.
