Scoping on Country
Scoping ideas for deeper learning experiences ‘on Country’ or ‘off Country’
‘on Country’ is used as a socio/cultural term to represent the place we belong to.
For teachers who can take students out to local ancestral lands where they are ‘on Country’, there are activities they can do, even if their access to traditional knowledge may be limited.
For teachers who can’t take students out of the school grounds, there are activities that help the students consider and move towards a looser understanding of ‘our place’ that is not as strong as an identified Country but that encompasses observing, studying and engaging with the natural environment in the local area.
‘on Country’ (By Me): Discovering, observing, and creating
Excursion to bushland surrounding the school, local parkland, recognised Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander bush reserve.
If the excursion is to enter a significant Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander cultural site/area of importance, seek permission from the recognised custodians/authorities to take photographs. Also instruct participants that they can’t take or remove anything from a sacred area.
- Take digital photos/short movies along the journey; identify landscape features and Aboriginal sacred sites.
- ‘Map’ the journey from one place and to another.
- Things to do:
- Listen to an Elder or recognised representative of the local Aboriginal peoples and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples about how the land was cared for and managed for sustainability
- Look for evidence of past occupation of the land, e.g. buildings, mittens, bora rings, scare trees, etc.
- Collect samples of the native vegetation and label which are ‘safe’ bush tucker
- Observe food collection, foraging, storage and cooking techniques practiced by Aboriginal peoples
- Listen to and retell traditional stories about ancestral spirits
- Identify the land features represented as symbols in traditional Aboriginal peoples art works and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples art works
- Learn sand art techniques and the symbols and languages associated with it
- Learn the stories/songlines, dances and customs related to this Country. Seek permission from the recognised Aboriginal peoples and/or Torres Strait Islander custodians/authorities to retell stories or perform dances.
Scoping off Country
‘off Country’ (For Me): Questioning, identifying, comparing, collecting data
- Identify traditional names of the customs and beliefs of various Australian Aboriginal peoples and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. Use the traditional names in a sentence, a story, a title.
- Pose questions and find out information about some traditional ceremonies associated with the customs and beliefs, e.g. about viewing or not viewing images of deceased Aboriginal peoples and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, about the smoking ceremony, etc.
- Explore what other world cultures identify as superstitions, and how and why each is associated with everyday life.
- Explain how superstitions are associated with annual festivals, celebrations and ceremonies.
- Analyse how the past influences the present.
- Identify Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander sports stars, and ‘heroes/heroines’ from the past and the present.
- Explore superstitions adopted by Australian sports stars.
- Analyse the qualities of being a hero/heroine.
- Read, listen to, and view stories and paintings from the Dreaming, and ask questions about the story to understand its meaning: how was it told or made? by whom? why was/is it important? what symbols are used?
- Aboriginal languages and/or Torres Strait Islander languages are learnt in parallel with English language and literacy. Learning in the two areas progresses at very different levels, but each support and enriches the other.
