A Lesson in History: 1788-1988 The unofficial yet accurate Aboriginal Australian version by Aboriginal Education Consultative Volunteer Group of Marrickville Australia in 1987. Created by NSW AECG staff and teachers to summarise two hundred years of hidden history - helping to explain the cultural differences and modern-day disadvantages and criminalisation of Australians of Aboriginal ancestry. Broadcast on UHF31-TV in Jan 1988 now in the Public Arena. Thank you TAFE & AECG network for supporting community teaching and learning. Two hundred years and a koala on the spit. Happy European Australians called a bicentennial party to celebrate the eng-Land conquest of the southern continent or "FreeLand" as they thought of it simply. Unlike their 150 year sesqi-conquestical in 1938 - whereat a harried mob of rural blacks were trucked in to play-out their happy victim roles in a great public televisual display amounting to political puppetry - the blacks in 1988 weren't invited. But guess who came to the invasionary bicentennial dinner party? Anyway, this little video document offers a clear concise and precise recording of the universally accepted facts of Australia's 200 year colonial history - it was the Aboriginal Holocaust. These fellas have done their research by telling the horrible truth in simple words in sync with appropriate storylines and historical images from deep in the archives. A must-see film for any Aboriginal Holocaust deniers seeking the truth. Four minutes in you'll find a never-seen dramatisation of invasion contact featuring a young Bart Willoughby and others enacting tribal ways. It's unique. The history lines continues beyond the Massacre Era (1770-1838), through the phases of enslavement and assimilation in the Refugee Detention Era (1839-1967) into the what's-the-problem-with-you-fellas-...-can't-you-get-over-it? phase of the We'reReconciledButLivingSeparately Era of today. -- -- -- including music by - No Fixed Address - We Have Survived the White Man's World oh whoa oh, And you can't change that!
