Co-presented by Maree Whiteley, AISWA Teaching and Learning Consultant and Gabrielle Grime, Wanneroo Museum Heritage Education Officer, this workshop will follow the HASS Inquiry Process as we explore ways to Question and Research, Analyse and Evaluate a range of sources, collect evidence and explore creative ways to Communicate and Reflect on these significant wartime stories from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective.
A rare opportunity for you and your students to experience the nationally significant exhibition, For Country, For Nation.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a long-standing tradition of fighting for Country, and continue to serve with honour among our military forces. They have also worked in ancillary, industry, and other home-front activities, and their communities have been thrust into the front line of theatres of war. The touring exhibition For Country, For Nation highlights these stories and explores themes of remembrance and tradition through family histories, objects, art, and photographs from across Australia, drawing inspiration from cultural traditions and symbols of warrior’s discipline, knowledge, leadership, and skill. For Country, for Nation is thematic in structure. Within each theme are stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experience during wartime and peace.
This exhibition, on loan from The Australian War Memorial, presents a rare opportunity for high school and primary students to examine the themes of wartime history and Australian society at the home front over time from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives
