Kate Nichols

Kate Nichols reflects on the violent and ongoing impacts of Victoria’s colonisation, criticising the lack of comprehensive education on First Nations history particularly in pre-school, primary and secondary education systems. They advocate for increased visibility of First Peoples’ organisations, reviving Aboriginal languages, and embedding Indigenous studies in school curricula. They also suggest non-First Nations Victorians contribute to truth-telling and treaty by challenging racist views, supporting First Peoples’ organisations, and promoting First Peoples’ history and culture.
