“Research Paper: The Patterns of Western Colonizers’ Treatments of Indigenous Peoples”
In this activity, students will write a research paper on a specific colonial power’s treatment of colonized Indigenous groups.
In Davis’s play, Aboriginal characters are discriminated against by white Australian government officers. Australia was one of the many colonies of the British Empire, where imperialist ideology was enforced on colonized, Indigenous groups.
Teaching Suggestion: This Activity invites students to engage with the play from the context of colonial legacy and imperialism. Australia is one of the many former colonies of the British Empire, which, at one time, laid claim to every significant region in the world.
