Culture+-+What's+being+said

__What's being said __ //"understand and acknowledge the value of Indigenous cultures and possess the knowledge, skills and understanding to contribute to, and benefit from, reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians" - // //The Shape of the Australian Curriculum, Version 2.0 //

Culture is perhaps often the forgotten aspect when considering Aboriginal life and ways to be included in a curriculum. We often hear of the battle over the "true" explanation of our history, and Aboriginal langiages are increasingly attracting more and more attention as the threat of their extinciton becomes increasingly real. Culture however is rarely looked at on its own, perhaps as the Aboriginal people of Australia slowly lose their identity and a rich piece of our nation is lost forever, it will become a more intent point of focus.

> While the Australian education system struggles to bring education to Aboriginal children, it also has to take the fear out of non-Indigenous children and adults to learn about Aboriginal and Indigenous culture. Many think if they don't know enough they don't have the right to contribute to the conversation, an attitude which hampers the dialogue true reconciliation requires. >
