This is an Australian website that focuses on Aboriginal Identity:<\/p>\n

Who is Aboriginal?<\/p>\n

Aboriginal Identity Test<\/p>\n

What does it mean to be Aboriginal?<\/p>\n

The main page has number of elements that are addressing the myths and stereotyping of Aboriginals.\u00a0 For example, there is a group of light coloured people with painted black faces.\u00a0 The intent is to educate people the colour of one\u2019s skin is not what constitutes an Aboriginal person.<\/p>\n

\u201cAboriginal identity is not a black face.<\/strong> Bindi Cole (front) and light-skinned members of her family pose with black faces to challenge the stereotypical notion of what black identity should look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another powerful visual is a Tourism Australia brochure with a young Aboriginal person with a painted face on the front of it.\u00a0 This is used to demonstrate how the government itself has perpetuated the stereotypical view of Aboriginal people in order to promote tourism.<\/p>\n

The site contains further readings on issues related to Racism in Aboriginal Australia; Australian Aboriginal People; Aboriginal Discrimination to mention a few.<\/p>\n

Fact \u00a0Did you know that the Aboriginal people of India are called ‘Dalits’?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Site developer claims to use as much Indigenous sources as much as possible out of respect for Aboriginal culture.\u00a0 I do not know if he is Aboriginal or a wannabee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
