Project
To become culturally safe in your work practice it is important that you learn about and begin to understand ATSI
culture. The best way to do this is by speaking to people of ATSI descent. While you will do this as part of assessments
for this unit, for this first project you need to use the internet and any available resources to conduct an individual
research project.

Student Assessment - Version 5 October 2021
In a report format, provide an outline (300 - 500 words) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture. Include the
following:
1.
Aboriginal life before European settlement
Answer:
Before European people arrived in Australia in 1788, there were many different Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander communities living on the land. It is believed that indigenous people have
lived here for over 40 000 years!
The way indigenous people lived was very different to how we live today. They lived in small
communities and survived by hunting and gathering. The men would hunt large animals for food
and women and children would collect fruit, plants and berries. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island
communities only used the land for things that they needed - shelter, water, food, weapons. They
never overused it or damaged it.
2.
Describe the impact of European settlement on ATSI people referring to:
a.
impact of European settlement.
d.
past and present power relations.
Answers:
A.
European settlement had a severe and devastating impact on Indigenous people. Their
dispossession of the land, exposure to new diseases and involvement in violent conflict,
resulted in the death of a vast number of the Aboriginal peoples. The small percentage of
Aboriginal people who did not die during these early decades of the colony, were not
unaffected. The impact of the white settlers changed their lives, and the lives of future
generations, forever.
B.
Within a few days of landing at Port Jackson, the new colonists cut down trees, erected
tents to house more than 1,000 people and tethered animals. They had claimed the land as
Crown land and believed they could take and use anything on the land. The British
Government did not acknowledge that Indigenous people had any rights to the land.
Conflict between the Indigenous people and the English continued as the visitors took over
more and more land for farming and settlements. The Indigenous people's strong
connection with the land was being disrespected as the English used it for their own needs.
Many Indigenous people were killed by the new settlers and many more were forced off
their ancestral land and became displaced.
A good supply of fresh food was important for the British and when they brought back to
shore their large catches of fish, they could not understand the expectations of the Cadigal
people to receive a portion of the catch. The Cadigal people had a very different way of
working, with different value systems to the British. When fish were caught or other food
sources gathered it was often customary to share a portion of this with others. The Cadigal
people did not have the same concept of private property as the British and shared
things communally. They placed less value on possessions that the British highly valued. It
was easy for cultural misunderstandings to take place as their world views and languages
were very different.
C.
Aboriginal people were subjected to a range of injustices, including mass killings or being
displaced
from
their
traditional
lands
and
relocated
on
missions
and
reserves
in
the
name
of
protection. Cultural practices were denied, and subsequently many were lost. For
Aboriginal people, colonisation meant massacre, violence, disease and loss.

D.
Despite
the
past
and
present
impacts
of
colonisation,
Aboriginal
kinship
systems,
customs
and traditions still thrive, and Aboriginal people, families and communities remain strong
and resilient.
3.
Briefly explain how European settlement has affected the health of ATSI people in past and present
Australia. List at least four (4) common diseases experienced by ATSI people.
Answer:
The arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 not only brought new people and lifestyles to Australia
but also new diseases. These diseases had a hugely negative effect on Australia's Indigenous
population, as they were not even able to resist a common cold. Because they had never been
exposed to these diseases before, the consequences were often deadly. British explorers
unknowingly exposed Australia's Indigenous people to many varieties of disease, such as
smallpox, tuberculosis, influenza, measles, whooping cough and the common cold. In 1789, a
year after the First Fleet arrived, a smallpox outbreak killed many of the Indigenous people
that lived in the Sydney area. The smallpox epidemic rapidly spread to surrounding
communities increasing the number of victims.
The major contributors are heart diseases, diabetes, liver diseases, chronic lower respiratory
disease, cerebrovascular diseases and cancer

4.
Briefly explain the effect that generational trauma can have on ATSI people, in relation to the key
points identified below.
Items
Explanation
Decision-making
When children are dealing with trauma and struggling to feel calm,
safe and in control they will find it hard to make decisions. This can
also affect
how they learn about and process information and inhibit the
development
of self-confidence and self-esteem.
Communicating
When children are dealing with trauma, they may find it hard to
develop a language to describe their emotions in a meaningful way
and may find it hard to understand the feelings of others around
them.
Understanding
Sometime children are not given the chance to develop empathy for
others and do not always see the consequences of their own
behaviour
on their peers, siblings and family. Sometime children become quiet
and withdrawn; or their behaviour might become more explosive,
aggressive and unpredictable. Children may also
engage in repetitive routines in order to help them to calm and soothe
themselves and make themselves feel better
Retaining information
Children who have experienced trauma can be overwhelmed by
memories of it. Intrusive memories can impact on a child's learning
as they interfere with their ability to retain chunks of information and
develop
