About this Unit
In 2012 this unit replaced by 101878 - Indigenous Landscapes. This unit aims to integrate traditional Aboriginal ways of knowing landscape into the undergraduate key programs in Environmental Management and Nature Conservation. Specifically, the unit incorporates UWS generic Indigenous core curriculum content that acknowledges and values pre-colonial Australian history and land use practice. Content includes traditional land management, protected area management, co-management, Native Title, Indigenous versus statute law, sustainable land use, cultural heritage and heritage landscapes. The unit aims to equip students to address issues of dispossession and disadvantage brought about by the historical destruction and disruption of ecological integrity.
