Museums of History NSW | Plant your History at Elizabeth Farm - Live stream recording @MuseumsofHistoryNSW | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
In this live, online event students have the opportunity to explore the shared history of the Burramattagal people and European settlers on Darug Country, at the site of Elizabeth Farm in Parramatta, one of Australia’s oldest colonial/European residences. Students will learn about the different ways these two groups have used the land and it’s resources, and consider the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal people and Country. They will also be introduced to an installation artwork by Kuku Yalanji artist Tony Albert, and explore ideas around continuing connection and responsibility to land, healing and sustainability. As part of this artwork exploration, students will learn how to create their own seeded paper.
Inquiry question:
How important is Country to Aboriginal peoples and what ongoing impact has the arrival of settlers had on Aboriginal people and Country?
