Indigenous Australians were not granted citizenship until the middle of the 20th

Indigenous Australians were not granted citizenship until the middle of the 20th century—almost 200 years after colonisation. Despite this official lack of recognition of Indigenous Australians within wider Australian society, Indigenous people have made, and continue to make, significant contributions to society.
This task provides you with an opportunity to research the life and contributions of an Indigenous Australian of your choice and reflect on how this person has contributed to the scholarship of teaching and learning in the field of Indigenous education. You will then reflect upon your own knowledge/experiences in the area of Indigenous education.
In undertaking this work, you will start to consider Indigenous history and culture and what you have learned in your life and schooling regarding Indigenous education and perspectives.
