Moondani Yulenj: an examination of Aboriginal culture, identity and education

This thesis, by way of artefact and exegesis, examines issues of Indigenous culture and identity in the contemporary world, and how they are manifest in our education system. The thesis adopts an autoethnographic, semi-autobiographical method to highlight and examine the interweaving of culture through contemporary experiences. The artefact is presented as an undergraduate textbook and takes readers on a multi-stage journey through issues relating to Indigenous culture and identity in the world around us. The exegesis is a theoretical discussion and examination of postcolonialism, Indigenous Knowledge, decolonisation and Indigenous research methods, and how they interact with contemporary education.
