First Contact Series

In exploring the idea of Indigenous and Western Australia, I chose to look at the SBS First Contact series. In this persuasive piece, I have detailed the Indigenous perspective on the First Contact series in particular, the thoughts of Nyinyikay islander Marcus Lacey. The persona I have adopted is that of a journalist and the piece is constructed as a magazine article. During the 8-10 weeks of research on the topic, I learned many things about the indigenous culture including their way of life, how they think about their land and how they think of their own community as well as the outer world communities.
