Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

An extensive multimedia resource that explores a pivotal moment in Australian history—the landmark Mabo legal case in which the High Court acknowledged the claim of Aboriginal Australians to native title. Combining 2 CD ROM’s with a website and online database, the project brings together a documentary video with hundreds of specially created audio-visual sequences and a wealth of text and images covering issues from colonisation and indigenous culture to land rights and native title. Suitable for senior secondary, undergraduate and research at adult levels. A website has been created as part of this project containing updates, additional material, technical information and links to other related sites. Available online at www.MaboNativeTitle.com Study notes and related material can be printed from the Film Australia website at http://www.filmast.com.au
