This subject critically investigates non-Indigenous understandings and mediated constructions of First Nations peoples. The subject explores how we see and know ourselves and others through a variety of media including memes, gifs, video games, news, films and television shows. The historical role of media in rationalising settler colonisation and its use by First Nations peoples to challenge colonial and racial stereotyping will be outlined. The subject explores the differences between First Nations and non-Indigenous produced media and the ethical, cultural, and political implications of this.
