Lesson 1 - Generalization and Rationale

Generalization

Aboriginal People are identified by distinctive cultural practices and products associated with their historical connection to the land and sea.

Rationale

Students should explore the basis of many land claims by understanding the special connection that Aboriginal People have historically maintained with the land and sea. Once permanent settlement began Aboriginal People were forced to recognize Western concepts of property ownership that was a foreign ideal. This is an important aspect in the land claims and treaty rights argument.
