Abstract
Many migrants are currently feeling the blast of harsh political rhetoric and media headlines. For academics Dr Daeul Jeong and Dr Angela Baeza, it is a timely moment to consider the relationships between migration, colonisation and the longest history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Migrants have a responsibility to respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and support their ongoing efforts for self-determination on their own Country, they say.
“If we are going to put down roots and live on this land, we need to think about the history of this land, our position within it, the kind of society we want to create, and what our responsibilities are,” they write in the article below.
