Decolonisation

Περίληψη

Non-Indigenous activism in support of Indigenous struggles in south east Australia aims to redress colonialism. However, at times this activism is marked by colonialist attitudes and behaviours. This paper is my attempt to analyse and communicate the key issues raised at a forum in August 2010 which aimed to gather knowledge around the practice of solidarity with Indigenous struggles in south east Australia. The forum was generously hosted by the community-controlled organisation Melbourne Aboriginal Youth Sport and Recreation (MAYSAR), in Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Both her current studies and her involvement at ANTaR, where she was a community development worker from 2004-2006, are devoted to generating in Australia political conditions conducive to moral and legal recognition of Indigenous peoples as first nations peoples, and to proper restitution.
