Vengeance
Tribal Fires - Dumbartung
07/17/23 • 65 min
This story titled ‘Vengeance’ looks back over 3 important decades of change and advancement for Aboriginal people. The 1970s, 80s and 90s reflects a time when self-determination and funding resources were extremely restrictive and Aboriginal people faced harsh government laws and policies. These policies kept Aboriginal people oppressed and excluded them from mainstream advancement. The story also reflects todays circumstances where Aboriginal people have benefited from recent inclusive opportunities. These mainstream policies have created an assimilated population that no longer resists the will to struggle for their rightful traditional ownership.
