Colonisation has impacted profoundly on indigenous communities worldwide and this essays examines and details some of those impacts.
Initially, the concept of colonisation will be explained, including the forces that were driving the colonisation and the usual ways it was achieved. At a general level, the ideologies underpinning the colonisers’ interactions with indigenous peoples will also be described. A comparison will then be made between the experiences of colonisation for Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the experiences of colonisation for the Torres Strait Islander peoples. In particular, the issue of dispossession from land and/or culture will be analysed, as well as the effect of Christianity.
As a result, it will be argued that Christianity was generally an oppressive force for Aboriginal peoples, whereas for Torres Strait Islanders, Christianity was easily integrated with traditional beliefs.
My introduction
Colonisation has profoundly impacted the indigenous people of countries all around the world, and although the experiences differ locally, it has in most instances caused them much suffering. This essay will examine some of the impacts of colonisation on the indigenous communities.
The concept of colonisation will firstly be explained, and then this essay will discuss who was doing the colonising, when this was happening, why they were doing this, and the usual ways that colonisation was achieved. The underlying ideologies of colonisation will be examined, and how these ideologies then informed the interactions between non-indigenous and indigenous peoples.
This essay will then compare the effects of colonisation on the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the Torres Strait Islander peoples.
