About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101510 - Indigenous Cultural Texts in Education (AREP). Indigenous Australians are depicted in a wide range of texts. These representations form the way Indigenous identities are constructed yet are formed by processes involving Indigenous and non-Indigenous People. Students will examine carefully these texts, the diverse nature of them and compare the outcomes; particularly the way they affect relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Examination of the portrayal of Indigenous Australians in texts in a school context will be deconstructed so students understand the process of producing current and future identities.
