It may lead to the result that one of the major ideas behind the planning and reshaping the site was “human-friendly” since it worked as an open public park for individuals and communities. For instance, the built pathways for walking and cycling propose all over the Park; river banks and bridges of the Maribyrnong River. In order to achieve the idea of “human-friendly” by building those settings, the government will have to reshape the landscape for the convenience of construction of roads, pathways, shelters and play-space (Figure 3.3). The impact of human would start from the construction but keep having an influence on the site in further usage. Since the government policy was setting only few garbage bins or even none in the Brimbank Park, the waste has become one of the environmental issues in the Brimbank Park that caused by human activities.
The History of the Lakota in Wind Cave National Park For the Lakota tribe in South Dakota, Wind Cave National Park is much more than an awe-inspiring cave full of peculiar cave formations and bison that stand eight feet tall. For the Lakota, Wind Cave National Park is the site of their ancestors’ emergence from inside the Earth onto the land they used to call home. Upon the discovery of gold in the Great Sioux Reservation, the Lakota’s sacred land was claimed by the United States National Government. The Lakota’s history on the land, their creation story and their rituals associated with the Wind Cave has resulted in their ongoing dispute with the federal government with regard to who should have the right to the sacred lands.
The Gurindji Walk Off to Aboriginal land rights was impacted historically, significantly, socially and politically. In 1966 the Gurindji people walked off Lord Vestey ’s Wave Hill cattle station to protest against poor wages and living conditions. Instead of accepting these circumstances, they made the decision to walk off the station to a nearby creek where they set up a camp.
My research on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Communities, led me to my local Council, the City of Whittlesea, as I am not currently working or started my work-placement. The City of Whittlesea recognises the rich Aboriginal heritage of Australia and acknowledges the Wurundjeri Willum people as the traditional owners. Before European settlement, the Aboriginal people of the Wurundjeri Willum lived on the land that now forms the City of Whittlesea and the northern suburbs of Melbourne. There are currently between 1000 and 1500 Wurundjeri Willum people living in Victoria.
When looking at Aboriginal life and culture, through the lens of fiction, there is often a heavy emphasis of the supernatural, many times portrayed through the images and stories of mythical creatures. These spiritual beings, such as the Weetigo, a cannibalistic creature of Cree mythology, can be seen as a representative of a society in which trauma plays an influential role in origin stories and in life; thus such stories often have a strong 'traumatic' base to them. Tomson Highway's Kiss of the Fur Queen and Eden Robinson's Monkey Beach, both utilize mythology and the spiritual world to describe the battle of dealing with various traumas. Through these novels the role of mythology and storytelling within Aboriginal trauma, and how to
Indie Hyland: Explain the negative effects on indigenous people due to the colonisation of the indigenous land that is now known as Collins Street.

Grey Owl’s achievements and intentions were not justified due to the misrepresentation of aboriginal people. Firstly, Grey Owl manipulated the aboriginal culture and changed it to where Europeans and North Americans would accept it. In the poem ‘’romantic’’ Grey Owl shows how he exaggerated the Aboriginal culture to get his message across. ‘’Certainly, they’re romanticized, but then, it’s all part of the game, isn’t it? To give the public what it wants, & expects’ ’this quote shows how Grey Owl had no intention of being a real Indian, he just wanted to give the people what they want so he can get a good reputation and be well known.
The Ngunnawal People have been living within the borders and surrounding mountains of the Australian Capital Territory for over 25,000 years. The way the Indigenous people used the land to live off was extremely efficient and sustainable. They had a bounty of knowledge about the land surrounding them, and over generations, devised resourced management skills to ensure maintenance of the animals and plants, and most importantly, the land in which provided these things. Aboriginal culture existed long before Captain Cook arrived in Australia in 1770. He claimed the land to be "Terra-Nullius", meaning that the land did not belong to any person.
The environmental consequences of the bushland being demolished was exponential. Many animals, large and small, were forced from their natural habitat and many died as a result of wandering too close to the highway. The natural landscape was also ruined as the housing development crew tore down trees, small native shrubs and drained the damn which was home to a delicate micro-ecosystem. The benefits of Illaroo’s conservation program are that animals and plants on the verge of extinction have been given a chance to repopulate in the hopes that the native Australian flora and fauna will survive for future generations.
Demonstrating an understanding when communicating effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is extremely critical as the negative impacts of past racial and economic disadvantages is something that is still fresh within the minds of indigenous Australians. A series of past government policies, including segregation, displacement and separation of families has contributed to heart ache and torment which has caused mistrust held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people towards government agencies and non-indigenous Australians. In today's dominant Western society, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to be a marginalised and socially disadvantaged. Compared to other Australians, Aboriginal and Torres
From the late 1800s to the later 1900s Residential schools were used to force white Catholic culture onto Indigenous Peoples. This had a great effect on Aboriginal Peoples and ended up ripping families apart, destroying Aboriginal culture and effecting aboriginal peoples far into the future after the events that happened at the schools. This essay will shed some light on one of Canada's darkest parts of history. Residential schools pull Aboriginal families apart because they remove the culture holding them together and put distance between them. To begin, residential schools were designed to remove Aboriginal peoples culture thus pushing family members apart.

In the early 1960’s America was all about civil rights movements and the treatments of all individual’s, equality. Which finally made Canada question its treatment towards aboriginal people. The way they came across was at first logical interviews and questions directly to First nations people across Canada. the final product was a paternalistic demand of hierarchy which did not respect aboriginal rights or treaty agreements what so ever.
