About this Unit
Indigenous Australians are depicted in a wide range of textual modes. These representations form the way Indigenous identities are constructed and formed by processes and relationships involving Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Students will examine and compare a range of diverse texts and 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
