Indigenous+perspectives

A short list of books for use in teaching Indigenous perspectives
Early to middle years Arthur, W., & Morphy, F. (Eds.). (2005). //Macquarie atlas of indigineous australia//. Sydney: The Macquarie Library Pty Ltd. A useful reference book to explore Indigenous language groups.

Hashmi, K. (1998). //You and me, murrawee//. Ringwood, Victoria: Penguin Books. Childrens picture book, Could be used as a read aloud, or just as a library book, on similarities/differences between Europeans and Aborigines

McDonald, M., & Pryor, B. (1998). //My girragungji//. St Leonards, NSW: Allen and Unwin. The first in a series. A very good chapter book, that does touch on some of the social issues affecting Indigenous people. But also done in a way that may be unnoticed by younger students. Some great artwork placed behind the text that can also lead to more indepth discussions with students. Some of the other books I have discovered to use when tackling Indigenous issues: · Gwynne, P. (1998). //Deadly unna?//. Ringwood, Victoria: Penguin Books Australia. · Gwynne, P. (2000). //Nukkin' ya//. Ringwood, Vic: Penguin Books Australia. · Kidd, D. (1992). //The fat and juicy place//. Pymble, NSW: Angus and Robertson Publishers Pty Ltd.. · McDonald, M., & Pryor, B. (1999). //The binna binna man//. St leonards, NSW: Allen and Unwin. · McDonald, M., & Pryor, B. (2002). //Njunjul the sun//. Crows nest, NSW: Allen and Unwin. · Sharpe, M. (1983). //The traeger kid//. Chippendale, NSW: Alternative Publishing Co-operative Limited.
