Javiera Sothers Period 4

Annotated Bibliography
The Struggle for Aboriginal Rights in Australia Thesis
The Australian government has denied rights to the aboriginal peoples of Australia by the policy of assimilation, the abuse of land rights, and the Northern Territory Intervention while ignoring its responsibility to acknowledge the first people of Australia as part of society.

Type of Project
My project is going to be a website.

Web. 17 Oct. 2013. http://stolengenerationstestimonies.com/index.php/testimonies/1018.html This source is an interview with Marita AhChee, one of the Australian aboriginal children taken away from their families (Stolen Generations). She described her life growing up, and the confusion and fear she feels when she is loaded on a ship with her sister and other girls and taken away by nuns. This source was very useful since it showed the toll the Stolen Generations took on families. This source supports my thesis by providing a strong support for the discrimination against aboriginals.

In the speech, Tom describes the current state of human rights in Australia. He also describes how these rights sometimes do and dont apply to the aboriginal peoples in Australia. This source was very useful since it drew an overall image of the way the government is handling the aboriginals and it also provided an outside view of these issues. This source supports my thesis by describing unfair laws against the aboriginals in Australia, criticizing them and their purposes. Commonwealth Government of Australia.

This document describes how assimilation of aboriginal

Javiera Sothers Period 4 children into white families will make a better quality of life for indigenous peoples. I will use this document for background information and in my webpage "The Stolen Generations" to show the government's reasoning for the assimilation.

He described how he was locked up in the dormitories with the other children for endless nights, where they could not escape. And he was asked what religion he was, and if the children didnt reply Christianity, they were taken to another place and had limited education based on Christianity. This source was useful since it shows the importance of religion and how it was imposed on the aboriginals back then. This source supports my thesis by showing how the government unfairly treated the aboriginal children. Dodson, Michael. Social Justice for Indigenous Peoples. Third David Unaipon Lecture.

He describes indigenous people being murdered for the governments benefit and how social justice will never be achieved as long as indigenous people are abused. This source was very useful since it shows how bad aboriginal peoples are being treated. This source supports my thesis since it is requesting for social justice to be served and for aboriginal peoples to have more rights.

This source supports my thesis by showing the fear and terror the children experienced. Moseley, Eileen. Interview by Stolen Generations Testimonies. Stolen Generations Testimonies.

It is an excellent source because it describes the terrible conditions of living that the Australian aborigines are in and how aboriginal children are being abused constantly in these communities.

In the report, it stated that the Australian constitution, there are no rights for aboriginal peoples, creating an unfair atmosphere.

It shows how, against the common misconception that aboriginal people are not responsible and drink heavily, the government uses the media to make it seem that aboriginal people are at fault. I will use this for background information, statistics, and several primary sources of the media and aboriginal peoples in my webpage The Result.

It describes aborigines being driven off their lands because of meager funds. It also describes the reluctance of the Australian legislation to give land to the aboriginal peoples. This source was very useful since it provides an outside view on the rights of aboriginal peoples in Australia. This viewpoint highlights the unfairness of indigenous rights and suggests more respect from the government to them, supporting my thesis. Marks, Kathy.

It describes the past wrongs of the government against the aboriginals, including but not limited to failing to recognize the aborigines as the original people in Australia, as well as counting them as citizens and giving them the right to vote back in 1967. This source was moderately useful because of its description of the steps toward better rights for aboriginals. This source shows the governments past wrongs against the aboriginals as well as the rising awareness of aborigine rights, supporting my thesis idea of raising aboriginal rights. Maynard, Roger.

It also describes how the aboriginal peoples are overjoyed the change, but other Australians fear that the aborigines could take more land away from them. This source was useful since it showed how the Australian government could change and how the aboriginal peoples would favor that change. This

Javiera Sothers Period 4 source supports my thesis by giving an example of what change could do to better improve Australia. Millicent, D. Millicent.

The primary source in the document made by the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission is by Millicent, who grew up as an aboriginal child who was taken from her parents and treated as an inferior for most of her life. The source was very thorough and useful since it showed Millicents personal struggle as an aboriginal. This source shows the unfairness of aboriginal rights in Australia, and also views the aboriginal peoples as not having enough rights, which helps my argument in the project.

Wikipedia. "History of Australia." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 12 Apr. 2013. Web. 08 Dec. 2013. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Australia>. This website includes the picture of the European settlers arriving in Australia. I used this picture to provide a visual of how the Europeans came and invaded the aboriginal Australians and their land; used in the "Background" webpage.
