Activity 3 - Background research – the legacy of the Cummeragunja Walk-Off
This is where you need to start thinking about significance. Go back to the resource Cummeragunja Walk Off and look at file ‘NRS 3829 School Files’. Choose two quotes that demonstrate that Aboriginal children in NSW may not have had access to article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights(UDHR): Education. Write these quotes with the attribution (who said them, when) into your book.
Watch Aunty Fay Carter discuss the legacy of the Cummeragunja Walk-Off. Using the simplified version of the UDHR, identify two other human rights that the Yorta Yorta people at Cummeragunja were denied. Note these in your book.
You should show your research notes to your teacher.
