Indigenous Cultural Concerns

Indigenous studies have provided a comprehensive and engaging exploration of both traditional and contemporary experience and expression of Aboriginal cultures, Knowledge, histories and identities. Through a number of interdisciplinary perspectives like traditional modality, Indigenous knowledge, colonisation and its impact, reclamation and reconciliation focus on Indigenous cultural forms and representation. The complexities of spirituality, lore and traditional philosophy are analysed to understand the devastating impact of colonisation and its aftermath. The book has tried to address the contemporary Indigenous culture and its expressions including language, story, art and creative expression allowing the learners to consider and explore self-representation as a method of expanding understandings of the diversity of Aboriginalities.
