<p>How are Indigenous people positioned in the contemporary era? In this subject, we will explore how Indigenous peoples’ goals and attempts to redress colonial injustices have been entangled in Western concepts, laws, knowledge and discourses. We do this by examining how Indigenous people produce and are produced by social and political narratives in the post-1967 era, such as self-determination, reconciliation, land and sea rights, treaty and sovereignty.</p>
<p>This subject has a strong focus on analysis and critical thinking. We will examine the possibilities of Indigenous contestation within the boundaries of non-Indigenous knowledge, law, bureaucratic, and public discourses.</p>
