An Indigenous social media commentator has tweeted an image of her child’s Year 11 history classwork, where a role-playing activity puts colonial pastoralists and Aboriginal people in conflict in a sensitive scenario.
In the worksheet, the information suggested a hypothetical situation where pastoralists fire their rifles in the air to scare off thirty Aboriginal people near the water .
The scenario follows another wfter the Aboriginal people have chased off convicts and killed livestock that belonged to the pastoralists.
Munanjahli, Yugambeh and South Sea Islander woman, Dr Chelsea Watego tweeted the worksheet last week, in an image and caption after her daughter came home to tell her what had gone on at school.
If you think back to your school days, what did you learn about Australian history?
Many want more of our First Nations history taught in school, and that s a view held by the National Indigenous Youth Education Coalition.
The volunteer-run organisation is running a campaign called Learn Our Truth saying that all young people deserve to be taught about our Indigenous histories.
