Extract

With the Bicentennial on our doorstep, it is crucial that teachers possess some understanding of the issue of land rights and the debate which will undoubtedly occur throughout 1988. Such debate may at best become an issue raised in classroom discussion or at worst jeopardise Aboriginal-white relations in their own schools. This paper seeks to highlight some of the critical points necessary for an understanding of the basic issues involved in land rights in the specific context of Aboriginal-white relations.
