• Indigenous women have been 
fighting worldwide for their right 
to thrive and the right to their 
heritage 
• Case study: comparing indigenous 
women of Australia to Canadian 
indigenous women as one 
example
•Aboriginal Protection Act of 1869 – Queen 
Victoria 
•First colony to oversee the lives of its 
aboriginal population 
•This act came about during a time of social 
change 
•However it did nothing to promote the 
rights of Australian aboriginal people
•Control over where they live, who they 
could associate with, who they could 
marry, etc. 
•1886: “half-caste” status declared, 
means of forcing mixed-race aboriginal 
people to assimilate into white 
European culture
•Anne Summers: Australian feminist who 
drove the second wave forward; focus on 
white, upper-middle class women 
•Marilyn Lake: key feminist icon in Australian 
feminism 
•Mary Bennett: one of the first white 
feminists to raise awareness for indigenous 
issues, discussed intersectionality
•Australian indigenous people today: 
impoverished, incarcerated and suffering from 
deep-rooted substance abuse within their 
communities 
•Cultural and spiritual heritage eroded by 
government policies 
•Apparent in laws that were created up until 20th 
century 
•They were segregated, not given the same rights 
and freedoms the white population enjoyed
•Today, aboriginal Australians are raising 
awareness for: 
•The right to a distinct status and culture 
•The right to self-determination 
•The right to land
