ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN

We Are Going by Oodgeroo Noonuccal They came in to the little town A semi-naked band subdued and silent All that remained of their tribe. They came here to the place of their old bora ground Where now the many white men hurry about like ants. Notice of the estate agent reads: 'Rubbish May Be Tipped Here'. Now it half covers the traces of the old bora ring. 'We are as strangers here now, but the white tribe are the strangers. We belong here, we are of the old ways. We are the corroboree and the bora ground, We are the old ceremonies, the laws of the elders. We are the wonder tales of Dream Time, the tribal legends told. We are the past, the hunts and the laughing games, the wandering camp fires. We are the lightening bolt over Gaphembah Hill Quick and terrible, And the Thunderer after him, that loud fellow. We are the quiet daybreak paling the dark lagoon. We are the shadow-ghosts creeping back as the camp fires burn low. We are nature and the past, all the old ways Gone now and scattered. The scrubs are gone, the hunting and the laughter. The eagle is gone, the emu and the kangaroo are gone from this place. The bora ring is gone. The corroboree is gone. And we are going.'

commentary:

We are going' is a poem written through an aboriginal woman’s perspective, Noonuccal Oodgeroo. The poem was published in 1964 in her first collection of poetry. The text allows modern responders to understand the loss, disappoint and betrayal about the aboriginal people in Australia making the responders feel sympathy for them. Oodgeroo uses detailed description to allow us to understand both the setting and the characters. She uses imagery to convey the setting: ‘’notice of the estate agent reads: ‘rubbish may be tipped here’ now it covers the traces of the bora ring.’’ This quote is significant as it means that the aboriginal’s town is turned into a rubbish dump caused by the white settlers which also means that their tradition site is gone for good. Some other language techniques she frequently uses are metaphors such as: ‘’we are the lightning bolt … the quiet daybreak … the shadow-ghosts’’ which represent the aboriginal that they are from the nature, which is a stereotype making them have a kinship with nature. From lines 8 to 17, Oodgeroo uses ‘We’ as a repetition to produce an effect telling the readers that the it’s the aboriginal who owns the land and they have the right to belong at their own land for the right reason. From the poem, it is shown that the white settlers are silenced and the aboriginals are marginalized:’’ we are the strangers here now, but the white tribe are the strangers’’. The effect used here is make the readers understand the pain and agony the aboriginal people went through so that they can feel sad and sympathetic towards them. I thought the effect was persuasive as it made me feel disgusted about the white settler. This poem is so effective is because the author herself is an aboriginal and she has been through the loss so she knows how it feels which made the poem persuasive and emotional.

commentary:

David’s Nason drew a cartoon, ‘White Australia sets out the deal’ in 2010 which presents the viewers with a visual on aboriginals in Australia. His view on the aboriginal people is different form Oodgeroo as he drew the cartoon from a white perspective. The text purpose is to show that the aboriginal are immobilized and hopeless under the white’s power. The visual also shows positive perspective towards the white settlers demonstrated by the caption: ‘’we’ve decided to compromise, we keep the land, natural resources … and in return we’ll acknowledge you as the tradiontal owners of it’’. This caption manipulates the readers to let them think that the white settlers are not as selfish. The effect that the author is trying to do is on the outside make it look like they acknowledge them as aboriginal traditional owners but on the inside they are actually taking away everything. The title reflects the layout of the picture as it is a white man behind the table wearing a red robe with a wig on its head justifying that he’s a judge for the white’s side, trying to make a deal with the aboriginals. Compared to the white individual, the aboriginal are displayed by being half naked with their huge tummy showing, holding spears in their hand which is a typical stereotype of aboriginal people. The effect used is to inform the viewers that aboriginal people are mindless, violent and aggressive as they always carry spears around them. This clearly distinguish that the aboriginals are foregrounding in the cartoon and the white settlers are the fore grounders, which is what Nason is trying to show in this text. Another point he is trying to prove is that the aboriginal will always be immobilized if the white settlers are in charge. This text portrays the aboriginal in a negative way compared to the first text.

The inhabitants of this country are the miserablest people in the world. The Hodmadods of Monomatapa, though a nasty people, yet for wealth are gentlemen to these; who have no houses, skin garments, sheep, poultry, ostrich eggs, and fruits of the earth as the Hodmadods have. . . Setting aside their human shape, they differ but little from brutes. They are tall, straight-bodied, and thin, with small long limbs. They have great heads, round foreheads, and great brows. Their eyelids are always half closed, to keep the flies out of their eyes. . . . . . They have no houses, but lie in the open air without any covering, the earth being their bed and the heaven their canopy. They live in companies — twenty or thirty men, women, and children together. Their only food is a small sort of fish, which they get by making weirs of stone across little coves or branches of the sea. Every tide brings them in and leaves them as a prey to these people, who constantly search for them at low water. They have no instruments to catch large fish, should they come, nor could we catch any with hooks and lines all the while we stayed there. In other places at low water they seek for cockles, mussels, and peri-winkles, of which there are fewer still, so that their chief dependence is on what the sea leaves in their weirs. At their places of abode the old people and infants await their return; and what providence has bestowed on them they presently broil on the coals and eat it in common. Whether it be much or little, every one has his share. When they have eaten they lie down till the next low water, and then all that are able march out. Be it night or day, rain or shine, ‘tis all one; they must attend the weirs or else they must fast, for the earth affords them no food at all. There is neither herb, root, pulse, nor any sort of grain for them to eat, that we saw, nor any bird or beast that they can catch, having no instruments wherewith to do so. W. Dampier, “A New Voyage round the World,” 1698
