    EUROCENTRIC VALUES AT PLAY MODDING THE COLONIAL FROM THE INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE RHETT LOBAN AND THOMAS APPERLEY Indigenous people and cultures are rarely included in digital games, and if they are it is often in a rather thoughtless manner. The indigenous peoples and cultures of many parts of the world have been portrayed in digital games in several ways that show little respect or understanding of the important issues these populations face. For example, in the Australian-made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Electronic Arts, 2002), Australian Aboriginal people are completely absent, replaced by anthropomorphized indigenous animals some of whom wear traditional face paint, while the plot involves rescuing other animals from the “dreamtime.” So while a secularized white settler version of Aboriginal culture is a core part of the game, the people are absent. The controversial mobile game Survival Island 3: Australia Story (NIL Entertainment, 2015), was removed from the Google Play and Apple stores in January 2016, largely because of an online petition that was concerned the game encouraged violence against indigenous Australians. The game portrayed Aboriginal people as “savages” who contributed to the difficulty of surviving in the Australian outback. Other games have appropriated indigenous iconography and culture, like Mark of Kri (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2002) which used traditional Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) facial tattoo or Tā moko on characters in the game. These examples are disappointing, and seem to represent a common 1 occurrence in commercial non-indigenous media. However, there have also recently been a number of critically acclaimed commercial gaming projects which deal with indigenous culture and issues from an indigenous perspective, for example the game Never Alone/Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (E-Line Media, 2014), made by Upper One Games in partnership with 2 Alaska’s Cook Inlet Tribal Council.

As a consequence of their different origins, populations, legal status, administrations and rates of growth, the post-contact western and eastern Muan communities followed different historical trajectories. This chapter traces the history of Mua, linking events with the family connections which always existed but were down-played until the second half of the 20th century. There are four sections, each relating to a different period of Mua’s history. Each is historically contextualised and contains discussions on economy, administration, infrastructure, health, religion, education and population.

  • Case Study 1 Climate Change and the Human Rights of Torres Strait Islanders
    Case study 1 Climate change and the human rights of Torres Strait Islanders Imagine the sea rising around you as your country literally disappears beneath your feet, where the food you grow and the water you drink is being destroyed by salt, and your last chance is to seek refuge in other lands…1 This is a reality that a group of Indigenous Australians – the Torres Strait Islanders – are facing. If urgent action is not taken, the region and its Indigenous peoples face an uncertain future, and possibly a human rights crisis. The Torres Strait Islands are a group of over 100 islands spread over 48,000km2, between the Cape York Peninsula at the tip of Queensland, and the coast of Papua New Guinea. It is a unique region, geographically and physically, and it is home to a strong, diverse Indigenous population. Approximately 7,105 Torres Strait Islanders live in the Torres Strait region, in 19 communities across 16 of the islands.2 Each community is a distinct peoples – with unique histories, traditions, laws and customs. Although the communities are diverse, the islands are often grouped by location,3 and together they form a strong region whose considerable influence is evidenced by the very existence of native title law today. The Torres Strait is home to the group of Islanders from Mer who first won recognition of native title, with Eddie (Koiki) Mabo triggering the land rights case which recognised Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders’ native title to the land and affirmed that Australia was not terra nullius 1 Avaaz, ‘Avaaz petition’, Email to the Australian Human Rights Commission, 3 September 2008.
