They consider their knowledge as an overriding over nature, but indigenous knowledge not viewed itself as a dominant over, like the Western knowledge, but as they are interrelated and parts of the natural world (Peritoli2011:1). In the dominant western cultural views of knowledge production there are similar ways of reasoning, but "the indigenous cultural experience is not the same for everybody, indigenous knowledge is not a monolithic epistemological concept" (Ladislaus and Joe 2002:24)

A generation lost in history During the 19th century, thousands of indigenous kids were stolen from their families due to government policies. This horrifying incident has later been called for the stolen generation. It was a horrendous act on mankind if you ask me. Why did they do such? I believe it was to eradicate the different cultures and races which were existing in the land, so Australia could have one race, one language, one culture and one belief. This is my reflection and thoughts on Australia’s
