The expanding British Empire had its own vision for the future of these peoples: they were to become civilized, Christian, and citizens--in a word, assimilated. This book provides the first systematic and comparative treatment of the social policy of assimilation followed in the three countries. Australia began by denying the aboriginal presence, Canada by registering all "status" Indians, and New Zealand by giving all Maori British citizenship. Major policy periods are characterized as early institutionalized contact, paternalistic protection, paternalistic assimilation, integration, and pluralism. Children received particular attention under the policy of assimilation, and much of this book focuses on policies and practices related to family and child welfare and education, including cultural differences in assumptions about child rearing and family roles, education as a tool of assimilation, extensive removal of aboriginal children from their families with placement in foster care or residential schools, and current efforts of aboriginal communities to recover from the devastating effects of social policies and to take control of child welfare practices. Thirty-eight tables include historical data on aboriginal population, foster care and adoption, residential and day school enrollments, juvenile offenders, and expenditures and staffing for child welfare agencies. Includes an extensive bibliography, chapter notes, maps, and an index.(SV) *******************************************kA*********************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. *********************************************************************** ...1111 a.

The expanding British Empire had its own vision for the future of these peoples. They were to become civilized, Christian, and citizensin a word, assimilated. Comparing the Policy of Aboriginal Assimilation provides the first systematic and comparative treatment of the social policy of assimilation followed in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Australia began by denying the aborigi- nal presence, Canada by registering all 'status' Indians, and New Zealand by giving all Maori British citizenship. Children received particular attention under the policy of assimilation, as there has always been a special interest in shaping the next generation. The missionaries, teachers, and social workers who carried out this work were motivated by the desire to save the unfortunate, but in the process children were required to leave their families, communities, language, and culture behind. Comparing the Policy of Aboriginal Assimilation not only provides comprehen- sive and comparative data on the conduct of assimilative policy but also examines its origins and rationale. In the end, the policy is shown to be pri- marily an expression of the racist and colonial nature of the immigrant soci- eties. Today, as aboriginal societies reassert themselves, there are grounds for hope that a plural social policy can be developed to accommodate the differ- ences between aboriginal and immigrant societies.

  • 26 January (Australia Day)
    What does 26 January mean to you? A day off, a barbecue and fireworks? A celebration of who we are as a nation? A day of mourning and invasion? A celebration of survival? Australians hold many different views on what 26 January means to them. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, it isn't a day for celebration. Instead, 26 January represents a day on which their way of life was invaded and changed forever. For others, it is Survival Day, and a celebration of the survival of people and culture, and the continuous contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to Australia. On the eve of 26 January, and in the spirit of reconciliation, we would like to recognise these differences and ask you to reflect on how we can create a day all Australians can celebrate. On this day in… From around 40,000 BC the continuing culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples flourishes across the country. 1788 The First Fleet lands on Australian shores, and Captain Phillip raises the Union Jack as a symbol of British occupation.1 1818 26 January is first recognised as a public holiday in NSW to mark the 30th anniversary of British settlement.2 1938 Re-enactments of the First Fleet landing are held in Sydney, including the removal of a group of Aboriginal people.

  • Obvious but Invisible: Ways of Knowing Health, Environment, and Colonialism in a West Coast Indigenous Community
    Comparative Studies in Society and History 2018;60(2):241–273. 0010-4175/18 # Society for the Comparative Study of Society and History 2018 doi:10.1017/S001041751800004X Obvious but Invisible: Ways of Knowing Health, Environment, and Colonialism in a West Coast Indigenous Community PAIGE RAIBMON Department of History, University of British Columbia PRELUDE I: ABIRDS- EYE VIEW This is a story about divergent epistemologies and the politics of risk. It is a story about diverse ways of knowing a place, of sensing danger, of feeling well; a story about the production of imperception, the construction of colonial subjecthood, and the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty. In this story, an Indigenous community worked to render perceptible to the settler state appara- tus its knowledge claims about pollution, health, and critically, authority. Activ- ists initially pursued an anti-colonial, environmental justice campaign that sought to translate local, Indigenous ways of knowing into the epistemologies of environmental science and public health. This strategy earned them allies in the health science and legal professions, and activists had reason for optimism. Yet ultimately, this strategy failed. When it did, the community changed course: it now appropriated technologies of law rather than science. Where they previ- ously mobilized knowledge verifiable with bare human senses, they now Acknowledgments: I humbly acknowledge the many people whose generosity, assistance, and insights made this piece possible. Most importantly, I thank the Mowachaht and Muchalaht com- munity members who spoke and worked with me, especially but not only: Sheila Savey, Margarita James, Margaret Amos, Jerry Jack, Max Savey, Lillian Howard, and Mike Maquinna.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • (AWU) and the Labour Movement in Queensland from 1913-1957
    University of Wollongong Thesis Collections University of Wollongong Thesis Collection University of Wollongong Year A history of the relationship between the Queensland branch of the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the labour movement in Queensland from 1913-1957 Craig Clothier University of Wollongong Clothier, Craig, A history of the relationship between the Queensland branch of the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the labour movement in Queensland from 1913-1957, Doctor of Philosophy thesis, School of History and Politics, University of Wollongong, 2005. http://ro.uow.edu.au/theses/1996 This paper is posted at Research Online. Introduction Between 1913-1957 the Queensland Branch of the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) was the largest branch of the largest trade union in Australia. Throughout this period in Queensland the AWU accounted for approximately one third of all trade unionists in that state and at its peak claimed a membership in excess of 60 000. Consequenfly the AWU in Queensland was able to exert enormous influence over the labour movement in that state not only in industrial relations but also within the political sphere through its affiliation to the Australian Labor Party. From 1915-1957 the Labor Party in Queensland held office for all but the three years between 1929-1932. AWU officials and members dominated the Labor Cabinets of the period and of the eight Labor premiers five were members of the AWU, with two others closely aligned to the Union. Only the last Labor premier of the period, Vincent Clare Gair, owed no allegiance to the AWU. The AWU also used its numerical strength and political influence to dominate the other major decision-making bodies of Queensland's labour movement, most notably the Queensland Central Executive (QCE), that body's 'inner' Executive and the triennial Labor-in-Politics Convention.

  • Racist Structures and Ideologies Regarding Aboriginal People in Contemporary and Historical Australian Society
    Master Thesis In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science: Development and Rural Innovation Racist structures and ideologies regarding Aboriginal people in contemporary and historical Australian society Robin Anne Gravemaker Student number: 951226276130 June 2020 Supervisor: Elisabet Rasch Chair group: Sociology of Development and Change Course code: SDC-80436 Wageningen University & Research i Abstract Severe inequalities remain in Australian society between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. This research has examined the role of race and racism in historical Victoria and in the contemporary Australian government, using a structuralist, constructivist framework. It was found that historical approaches to governing Aboriginal people were paternalistic and assimilationist. Institutions like the Central Board for the Protection of Aborigines, which terrorised Aboriginal people for over a century, were creating a racist structure fuelled by racist ideologies. Despite continuous activism by Aboriginal people, it took until 1967 for them to get citizens’ rights. That year, Aboriginal affairs were shifted from state jurisdiction to national jurisdiction. Aboriginal people continue to be underrepresented in positions of power and still lack self-determination. The national government of Australia has reproduced historical inequalities since 1967, and racist structures and ideologies remain. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Elisabet Rasch, for her support and constructive criticism. I thank my informants and other friends that I met in Melbourne for talking to me and expanding my mind. Floor, thank you for showing me around in Melbourne and for your never-ending encouragement since then, via phone, postcard or in person. Duane Hamacher helped me tremendously by encouraging me to change the topic of my research and by sharing his own experiences as a researcher.

  • Compensation After Delgamuukw Aboriginal Title’S Inescapable Economic Component
    Compensation after Delgamuukw Aboriginal Title’s Inescapable Economic Component MICHAEL J. MCDONALD AND THOMAS LUTES Introduction As any observer of recent Canadian news can attest, aboriginal issues in Canada are once again atop the public and media agenda. The range of issues in the public eye is remarkable: from the applicability of sales tax to New Brunswick’s aboriginal peoples; to the return of traditional lands to the First Nation at Ipperwash, Ontario; to the unprecedented fusion of aboriginal healing circles and the Canadian justice system in British Columbia’s Bishop O’Connor case. While such stories ride the crest of the latest wave of national media attention, the land claims process in British Columbia remains some- what adrift following the December 1997 Delgamuukw decision. The im- plications of the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling in Delgamuukw that aboriginal title exists and contains an “economic component” poses a tre- mendous challenge to government, private industry and First Nations. In particular, the Crown faces judgment for its action—or inaction—in Notes will be found on page 450. 425 426 Beyond the Nass Valley resolving land and resource claims, not only in our courts of law but also in the forum of public opinion, with its jury of voting citizens. The scenarios of economic doom voiced by a few politicians and public commentators since Delgamuukw was handed down have not al- layed British Columbians’ understandable concerns about the practical effects on their lives and on the effect of compensation to First Nations on the provincial economy. The entire land base of British Columbia is not about to be transferred to British Columbia’s First Nations, and the entire provincial budget for the next quarter-century will not be direct- ed to compensating the Province’s aboriginal peoples.

  • Expenditure Analysis of Criminal Justice in Canada
    Expenditure Analysis of Criminal Justice in Canada Expenditure Analysis of Criminal Justice in Canada Ottawa, Canada March 20, 2013 www.pbo-dpb.gc.ca 1 Expenditure Analysis of Criminal Justice in Canada The mandate of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) is to provide independent analysis to Parliament on the state of the nation’s finances, the government’s estimates and trends in the Canadian economy and, upon request from a committee or parliamentarian, to estimate the financial expenditure of any proposal for matters over which Parliament has jurisdiction. Over the course of the last few years, Parliament has made it clear that criminal justice is one of its major legislative priorities. PBO has responded to this by providing expenditure estimates of various pieces of criminal justice legislation. This report follows from these prior reports, looking at the total expenditures associated with criminal justice over the past 11 years. This is the first multi-year study to be undertaken of the aggregate expenditures on criminal justice in Canada. While the Department of Justice and Statistics Canada have published estimates of criminal justice expenditures, they provided only point in time estimates (2008 and 2001, respectively). By contrast, this report estimates criminal justice spending in Canada for the federal, provincial, and territorial governments for the period of 2002 to 2012. Furthermore, this report is comprehensive in that it includes police capital and full youth justice (not just corrections) expenditures. This analysis serves as a starting point to support an understanding of the expenses of Canada’s criminal justice system and its components over time.
