SECTION 3 | BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
mapping activity
task
Think about how the land you live on has changed over time. What are the Indigenous and Western stories and images that describe this land?
Provide an assessment that is your own personal view of the potential impacts of an activity in this area. For instance, what would be the impacts of a mine being built in this area? Who might be affected by these activities and how might this change the way that people currently use the land, and how the land has been used in the past? Who benefits from the land currently and how might this change?
Using the resources below, investigate how the land has changed. Use data sets from Geoscience Australia and elsewhere that might include: • Impacts of mining • Impacts of fishing • Historical maps • Biological diversity • Google Earth • Indigenous and other artworks of the area
Present your ideas how you like — this could be a series of social posts, a poster, infographic, PowerPoint, video, podcast or in-person presentation. Review the ideas of a classmate — how are they similar to or different from your ideas about your place?
