In her poem "We Are Going," Oodgeroo Noonuccal examines the impact of colonial conquest on Aboriginal Australians by exploring the loss of their sacred bora ground, their identity, and their culture.
The bora ground was a sacred place where Aboriginal people gathered to perform ceremonies and rituals. It was also a place where they taught their children about their culture and traditions. The loss of the bora ground was a devastating blow to Aboriginal communities.
Colonial conquest also led to the loss of Aboriginal identity. Aboriginal people were forced to convert to Christianity and adopt European customs. They were also forbidden to speak their own languages or practice their own ceremonies. This loss of identity had a profound impact on Aboriginal people, both individually and collectively.
Finally, colonial conquest led to the loss of Aboriginal culture. Aboriginal people were forced to abandon their traditional way of life and adopt European practices. This loss of culture was another devastating blow to Aboriginal communities.
Noonuccal's poem is a powerful indictment of the impact of colonial conquest on Aboriginal Australians. It is a reminder of the importance of respecting and valuing Aboriginal culture and identity.
