The Western Australian government and key Indigenous institutions also pushed hard for this, making the custodians of the Country, the Goolarabooloo, an embattled minority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis experimental ethnography, \u003cem\u003eThe Children's Country\u003c\/em\u003e, documents the Goolarabooloo’s knowledge of Country, their long history of struggle for survival, and the alliances that formed to support them.

Interactions with Indigenous people have been constrained by eighteenth-century assumptions and beliefs that Indigenous people did not have organised societies, had neither land ownership nor a recognisable form of sovereignty, and that they were ‘savage’ but could be ‘civilised’ through the erasure of their culture. These incorrect assumptions and beliefs are the foundation of the legal, constitutional, and political treatment of Indigenous Australians over the course of the country’s history. They remain ingrained in governmental institutions, Indigenous policy making, judicial decision making, and contemporary public attitudes about Indigenous people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrapped by History\u003c\/em\u003e shines new light upon historical and contemporary examples where Indigenous people have attempted to engage and dialogue with state and federal governments. These governments have responded by trying to suppress and discredit Indigenous rights, culture, and identities, and impose assimilationist policies. In doing so, they have rejected or ignored Indigenous attempts at dialogue and partnership. Other settler countries such as New Zealand, Canada, and the United States of America have all negotiated treaties with Indigenous people and have developed constitutional ways of engaging cross-culturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Australia, the limited recognition that Indigenous people have achieved to date shows that the state is unable to resolve longstanding issues with Indigenous people. Movement beyond the current colonial relationship with Indigenous Australians requires a genuine dialogue to not only examine the legal and intellectual framework that constrains Indigenous recognition but to create new foundations for a renewed relationship based on intercultural negotiation, mutual respect, sharing, and mutual responsibility. This must involve building a shared understanding around addressing past injustices and creating a shared vision for how Indigenous people and other Australians will associate politically in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244794294508,"sku":"9781538152614","price":77.8,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3d09012468ad0eef3b161371b2fe472d.jpg?v=1788148048"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/series-indigenous-nations-and-collaborative-futures.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
