assignment

1. A story About an Aboriginal man during the 1900’s. By Tony Wakim

2. I lived in a society with many other aboriginals but we were treated as if we didn’t own this land. We were picked on, spat at and we could even have the same rights as those who killed our ancestors. We couldn’t marry the women we loved without a permission from the governor. We couldn’t socialize with any white people without their permission

3. Me and my Family worked on a corn field for Mr. Wilson, a white British man who is greedy and gives us so little for a big workload we do everyday. We clean his clothes, look after the sheep and the land full of crops.

5. Only recently were we as Aboriginals allowed to practice our religion and cultures. Some Aboriginals were forced to convert to Christianity but now we have the freedom to practice our religion.

6. We are not allowed to vote because in the eyes of the Federal Government, we are not Australians and they rule Australia not the aboriginals.

7. We have many issues concerning medicine because of our poverty and now the Bubonic Plague which has killed many people in Australia is causing panic as we do not have the money to deal with this plague if it hits our land.
