This will enable you to investigate the evolution of approaches to Australian policy for Indigenous Australian peoples, the way in which Indigenous Australians are positioned to rationalise approaches, and the presumed relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians as a consequence. You are required to describe and analyse each policy/event in relation to: Goals of each policy or event. How Indigenous Australians are positioned (e.g., do they have a role in decision-making, are their views represented, are they constructed as a 'problem to be resolved'). The relationship between Indigenous Australians and wider Australian society (e.g., is there a social or cultural norm evident?

IKC101 - Indigenous Australian Cultures, Histories and Contemporary Realities

Introduction
This assignment will provide a brief introduction and explanation of the two events that happened in Australia before and after 27 May 1967. The events are taken from Australian History Timeline and briefly described by analyzing the two situations faced by Indigenous Australian people.
Events
The first event - on 26 January 1949, the Nationality and Citizenship Act was passed in Australia. In this act, the focus was to provide citizenship to those people who meet the requirements of eligibility granted by the government. The rules, which were applied as eligibility criteria, are defined as follows:
1st requirement- if anyone is born in Australia or grown-up then he/ she was able to get the citizenship. 
2nd requirement- if a person is born New Guinea, then also he/ she was able to get the citizenship. 
3rd requirement- if a person was born outside Australia but living as a permanent resident now and also entered Australia before or on 26 January 1949, then can get citizenship. 
4th requirement- if anyone is generally residing in Australia for a minimum of 5 years after 26 January 1949 then he/ she can get citizenship. 
5th requirement- if a woman got married to any Australian men and living Australia for a long time. Must have entered Australia on or before 26 January 1949 then she was able to get the citizenship of Australia.
The above are the eligibility requirements that were set by the Australian government to provide citizenship to its residents. In the conditions above, there was no option for the Indigenous people to get citizenship (Gale & Bolzan, 2013). Thus, it shows that there were fewer rights for Indigenous in that event or time period of history.
The second event- on 1 July 1968, an indigenous boxing champion named Lionel Rose defeated Masahiko "Fighting". The location where the championship was held was Japan, and Lionel Rose became the world champion in bantamweight championship. It shows that people in Australia started giving preference to indigenous people. The change in the law which existed on 27 May 1967, made it possible that indigenous people had granted the citizenship and other benefits. 
It was a great event or news for the indigenous people who faced so much discrimination and negligence in Australia before 1967. This day (1 July 1968) has marked in the history of Australia as a day of salute to indigenous people who have made Australia proud by contributing in the winning of the championship.
Indigenous Australians Positions
The Indigenous Australian people were given preference in both events differently. It is because both situations before and after 1967 was different in perspective to Indigenous Australian people. Before 1967, the event discussed above, in 1949, Indigenous people had not given citizenship, and their position was nothing more than people who live in the country without any one’s consent. After, 1967, in the year 1968, the indigenous person named Lionel Rose became the champion in bantamweight championship, which was a day of joy for Australia and its native people. 
Role in decision making- 
The role in decision-making was not provided in the year 1949, as they were not a citizen of Australia at that time. They were struggling to be a citizen of Australia and also did not have any power to do anything for Australia. However, in the year 1968, the contribution of the indigenous person named Lionel Rose made a mark in the history of Australia. At that time, the indigenous people were citizen of the country. Thus, they are allowed to contribute in the process and decision making of the country. Many people on an individual level were given chance for providing declaration (Boas, 2016).
Given values to their views- 
Views of indigenous people were not entertained in the year 1949, and also, they were not provided benefits. In contrast to this, in year 1968, the indigenous people were provided value and their views were also entertained by the government. The change was contrasting in nature if comparing is done between events of 1949 and 1968 due to the reason of citizenship. It is because Indigenous people were not provided citizenship in 1949 as per rules that time and in 1968, they got citizenship as new rules was made in 1967.
Problem or not a problem- 
In the year 1949, indigenous people were a problem for the country Australia, but in the year 1968, they were not. It is because in 1949, the future of indigenous people was not known as they were not even able to get the citizenship but in the year 1968, people were strong enough to deal with every situation, as they were the citizens of Australia. They have enough rights that can provide them the strength to live in Australia with courage. Thus, they were not a problem for Australia. Moreover, people were able to get wishes due to the contribution that indigenous boxing champion provided for the country.
Respect or disrespect- 
If respect is considered then in the year 1949, the honour to indigenous people was not given. Nevertheless, when citizenship was provided in the year 1968, they were able to get respect in the country.
The relationship between Indigenous Australians and wider Australian society 
The relationship between indigenous Australians people and other Australian culture was better as they both had citizenship. It is the reason that indigenous people wanted and struggled for citizenship in Australia. In socio or cultural norm, both followed their own rules and regulations, but the indigenous people have to change some of their previous practices. They had taken some time to adjust to the broader sections of society. Many rules are followed by indigenous communities until today, such as kinship system. In kinship system, people do not use names much. 
They use words like "he is his daughter." Here the father can be more than one because if the original father has male siblings, then they will also be fathers of the daughter. This system has not followed by a wider section of society (Moore, 2017). If the part in cultural and social life is considered, then both indigenous people and other society’s people take part enthusiastically. It is the reason that indigenous boy won bantamweight championship. The chances given to all people were equal, but the difference was in the adjustment as indigenous people adjusted according to the country's people (Brown & Baker, 2018).
The similarities and differences are evident in the goals, positioning, and relations of Indigenous Australians and broader Australian society.
If the research is done on the similarities and differences of the position of both indigenous people and Australian society people, then these are provided are as follows:
The similarity in the goals and views of Indigenous people-
Equal opportunities from the government: the government gave equal opportunities to both indigenous people and other wider sections of Australian societies. Moreover,
