Australia was once an undiscovered island inhabited by Australian Indigenous natives. That was before white settlement in 1788. For middle school students at Kimberley College, the unit for this term has been about the hidden Indigenous history and reconciliation. We studied the book, Deadly Unna? and its connection and relevance to young men and women of Australia. We studied the mockumentary BabaKiueria to help us step into the shoes of an Indigenous Australian and help in the understanding of perspective. We also studied the documentary The First Australians that highlighted how white settlement came to be and all the unknown details between battles and injustice. As a class, we looked into the topic of reconciliation, segregation and racism
