The Aboriginal Education Contexts site showcases examples of school-developed context-based teaching and learning projects collaboratively developed by teachers, Aboriginal education workers and local community members.
The materials show the educational and cultural journeys of teachers, students and community members in a range of schools and communities in rural and urban areas. Where possible these are recounted through video, audio, digital images and work samples.

Excellent site - 'Aboriginal Sydney' includes the area bounded by Picton in the south, Lithgow in the west, and the Wollemi National Park and Norah Head in the north-west and north.
This is an area bigger than the modern Sydney, but we include it in our history because the Sydney Aboriginal people did - and do - recognise it as their country today. Within those areas most Aboriginal people probably understood each other reasonably well. The site includes timelines, maps, families, sites, culture, events and more. |

Rain falls heavily, the streets of the community are quiet, and Moses sits drinking tea on the porch of a house in the community of Numbulwar, Wandu, where he is from, has been flooded in. The country is coming alive with the arrival of the rain; birds walking on lily fronds stoop for prey in the forming lakes. Click to play

Tom E Lewis gives a brief introduction into how Arnhemland society is structured. There are 12 clans in Numbulwar, and the society is divided into two moieties. The two moieties in Arnhemland are water and fire, shark and crocodile. He then introduces us to Junggayi Moses Numamurdirdi, sitting under a tree with his wife’s brother. Junggayi Moses Numamurdirdi describes the arrival of missionaries and the introduction of new social structures and ideologies while archival footage shows baptisms in the river. CLICK to play

Tom E Lewis introduces the concept of five seasons over footage of an overflowing Rose River – the land inundated with water, followed by a montage of a dry riverbed. Lewis describes the wet season over images of Indigenous men hunting birds, fish and a turtle. Lewis tells us that the people sing songs to the land, rivers and sea. They sing to the spirits of the animals that are hunted. ‘Everything has a cycle, and we are guided by this cycle’, says Lewis. CLICK to play

Aboriginal communities across northern and western Australia have helped to develop seasonal calendars based on their ecological knowledge. The calendars link meteorological patterns with changes in plant and animal life across the year. |
