“…Charles Perkins was born in 1936 near Alice Springs in central Australia. He was a member of the Stolen Generation (Read 1998) and among many notable achievements he was the first Aboriginal person to graduate from university, became the Secretary of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, and was awarded an Order of Australia medal in 1987 (Adair and Stronach 2014;Read 1998). Most important in this paper, however, is his sporting prowess.…”

“…Carlson has written most comprehensively of the resultant politics of identity in the Aboriginal Australian context. Modern Indigenous identity remains based upon genealogies and relationships from original people of place, but it has also grown to incorporate the effects of racist and genocidal government policies that-in the name of protection-displaced and controlled Aboriginal lives via assimilation and child theft, thereby disrupting familial connections (Carlson 2016;Read 1998;Terszak 2015). This government institutionalisation encouraged and/or reinforced racism in the settler public, and the two still feed off each other to this day, reproducing racism (Dodson 2003, pp.…”

In colonised territories all over the world, place-based identity has been interrupted by invading displacement cultures. Indigenous identities have become more complex in response to and because of racist and genocidal government policies that have displaced Indigenous peoples. This paper is a personal account of the identity journey of the author, that demonstrates how macrocosmic colonial themes of racism, protectionism, truth suppression, settler control of Indigenous relationships, and Indigenous resistance and survivance responses can play out through an individual’s journey. The brown skinned author started life being told that she was (a white) Australian; she was told of her father’s Aboriginality in her 20s, only to learn at age 50 of her mother’s affair and that her biological father is Māori. The author’s journey demonstrates the way in which Indigenous identities in the colonial era are context driven, and subject to affect by infinite relational variables such as who has the power to control narrative, and other colonial interventions that occur when a displacement culture invades place-based cultures.

“…It is salient to note here that the recognition of trauma within colonialism neither implies passivity on the part of Aboriginal people, nor does recognising agency and autonomy imply that colonialism is a “symmetrically structured opportunity for a cultural exchange” (Rogers and Bain, 2016, p. 94). Read (1998) contends a contemporary challenge is to respectfully negotiate a path of understanding that does not diminish the effect of removal whilst simultaneously recognising the capacity of removed children to overcome their trauma.…”

Purpose The focus of this paper is to centre the lived experiences and perceptions of western education held by Aboriginal people who lived at Moola Bulla Native Cattle Station (Moola Bulla) in Western Australia, between 1910 and 1955. Of interest is an investigation into how government legislations and policies influenced these experiences and perceptions. The purpose of this paper is to promote the powerful narrative that simultaneously acknowledges injustice and honours Aboriginal agency. Design/methodology/approach The research from which this paper is drawn moves away from colonial, paternalistic and racist interpretations of history; it is designed to decolonise the narrative of Aboriginal education in remote Western Australia. The research uses the wide and deep angle lens of qualitative historical research, filtered by decolonising methodologies and standpoint theory. Simultaneously, the paper valorises the contributions Indigenous academics are making to the decolonisation of historical research. Findings Preliminary findings suggest the narrative told by the residents who were educated at Moola Bulla support a reframing of previous deficit misrepresentations of indigeneity into strength-based narratives. These narratives, or “counter stories”, articulate resistance to colonial master narratives. Social implications This paper argues that listening to Aboriginal lived experiences and perceptions of western education from the past will better inform our engagement with the delivery of equitable educational opportunities for Aboriginal students in remote contexts in the future. Originality/value This paper will contribute to the wider academic community by addressing accountability in Aboriginal education. Most important to the study is the honouring of the participants and families of those who once lived on Moola Bulla, many who are speaking back through the telling of their story.
