ABSTRACT

This part conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in this book. The book discusses “Teaching and Learning Indigenous Histories” the role of the Aborigines in Australian history education is recounted by Anna Clark. It explores the position of Maori in the national museum of New Zealand by Joanna Kidman. The book considers the duality of historical significance of a historical treaty in New Zealand by Mark Sheehan, Terrie Epstein and Michael Harcourt. It also discusses the recognition of the Mi’kmaw in Canadian history curricula by Jennifer Tinkham. With Jennifer Tinkham’s chapter, the geographical context of the research changes from the southern hemisphere to Canada in the northern hemisphere. The book describes how a post-colonial turn was implemented in history curricula and how Indigenous history was received in classrooms. It indicates that difficult histories within states are as problematic as those between states.
