In 200 words, provide an outline of the case study you will be submitting.

You need to:
• Identify which Indigenous nation you will be discussing. This might be where you live/work/study, but if not, you must find the nation the event took place in or your individual lived and worked or your place or institution is located. Just the name(s) of the nation(s) and the region where located.

• Identify which Key Discussion Point you have chosen (see examples below), with a brief statement about why you have chosen this example (ie, why this event is significant, why this person is important etc). One sentence.

• Provide a summary or overview of the key aspects which you will be discussing in the case study. This can be in point form. For example, what were the social, cultural, historical or political situation or circumstances facing Indigenous people at the time of the event/in the background of the individual's life etc. What are the achievements, resilience and positive attributes of the case you are examining? Approximately 100-120 words.

• A brief statement of how Indigenous Australians may have a different standpoint regarding these issues compared to mainstream Australian standpoints. How discourses, narratives, standpoints or values which are/were dominant in white Australian society were challenged by these events, individuals or places. Examples - perspectives on land ownership, connection to Country, view of family and community, diversity of Indigenous cultures, Aboroginal sovereignty, Aboroginal people as strong rather than just victims etc. Approximately 30-50 words.

• Provide a list of the sources you will be using with a short summary in point form outlining why these are relevant for the task. This can include sources we have used in the course so far (see list below), or you may find other sources. At least some should be Indigenous voices/sources. Approximately 50 words for the summaries (actual reference not part of word count). Note: Information in this summary should still be cited and referenced, as is normal, in addition to sources listed for use in the main Cast Study.

• Be creative in the presentation of your case study outline. Photographs or other forms of digital media can be included; however, they should be relevant to your discussion and cited appropriately.
