Indigenous Australians

Relationships includes:1. Perceptions, attitudes and feelings toward the natural
environment, 2. Interactions and land management practices,3. Impacts, both good and bad and sustainability
Questions Compare the relationship of early indigenous Australian's to
those of the early settlers
The early indigenous Australians saw the land as it owning them, not them owning the land; whereas early settlers saw the land as a harsh and hostile environment that needed to be tamed. Because the aboriginals are spiritually linked, the practices they did were more sustainable, such as their semi-nomadic lifestyle. The early settlers interactions were based around what they new, they tried to make it look like England – such as clearing land and introducing species.
Identify two land practices used during the Gold Rush to Federation period, discuss the impacts caused to the natural environment and the perception this reflected.
Railway and Road & Sealing and Whaling; for Railway and roads land needed to be cleared which cause removal of animal habitats and erosion. Sealing and Whaling in australia during this time dramatically reduced the numbers or seals and whales, almost to extinction. These
Overview of OES study
Environmental movements.• Environmental campaigns (such as Lake Pedder and the Franklin Dam)
• The rise of environmentalism
Know about a key environmental campaign – the Franklin is worth considering – that you can use to illustrate the rise of environmental concern.
Question
A) Identify a historical environmental movement
B) Outline a reason for the formation of this environmental movement.
C) Provide an example of how this movement has influenced human relationships with Australian environments.
Overview of OES study
Patterns and types of interactions.• Types of interactions: commerce, recreation, conservation, tourism, aesthetic appreciation
• Patterns are changes in these interactions
• Factors that might affect or influence interactions: media, technology, commercialisation, background, education, increases in income and leisure time
Question
Describe two patterns of interactions associated with snowboarding over the past 10 years
What factors may cause a pattern of change to occur to conservational days such as clean up Australia day?
Overview of OES study
Technology as mediator in human-nature relationships.• Changes in the materials and design of gear (like clothing and specialist equipment)
• Improved access and communication (like roads, ski lifts, mobile phones)
• GPS and navigation
• Simulated environments (like indoor climbing gyms)
Be able to discuss the affect of changing technology on outdoor experiences and relationships.

Relate these to an activity using specific examples
Overview of OES study
Commercialisation of outdoor experiences.• Selling the outdoor experience
•EXAMPLES OF COMMERCIALISATION INCLUDE:
Guidebooks
Grading systems
Tours and packages
Advertising and marketing
Interperative walks/boards
Guides and instuctors
Be able to discuss possible effects on the environment, when outdoor experiences are marketed and sold.
How Commercialisation Shapes Relationships
What changes would occur to outdoor experiences, attitudes and interactions?
How has commercialisation influenced your relationship with natural environments through a specific activity?
Overview of OES study
Views of nature.• Views and images
• Environment as resource, gym, cathedral or temple, museum
• Views of different groups of people – including conservationists, land holders, adventurers, indigenous people, scientists
• Diversity of views
• How views about the outdoors shape relationships with the outdoors
How Views Shapes Relationships
If we view the environment how can this change our perceptions, as well as what we do?
Describe how your participation in this recreational activity has shaped/changed/influenced/affected your relationship with natural environments
Overview of OES study
Social responses to risk-taking.
• Criticism of risk taking
• Legal responses and sanctions
• Rules, regulations and restrictions
• Training and education
• Zoning in public land
• Infrastructure development
•How does this change what people do in natural environments
How Social Responses to risk taking shapes Relationships
How does the response of society change relationships with natural environments – how are experiences, attitudes, interactions, feelings changed?
What impacts are there on the natural environment
