INDUSTRIAL INGINEERING 2INDUSTRIAL INGINEERINGThe indigenous Australians are people who descended from the tribes that existed in Australia and around the islands surrounding Australia erstwhile of the British conquest. According to the existing literature in the history of the indigenous Australians, there is no certain date of arrival of the group, however, it is anticipated/ speculated those fifty thousand years ago, this group already existed (Moore, etal., 2014, p. 517). This is evident by the remains of the early Mungo man and Mungo woman, which are dated to over forty thousand years ago. The recent archaeological study and analysis of charcoal anticipate a date of 65000 PB.The indigenous Aboriginal Australian have a series of commonalities that they share and yet there are also differences/ diversities among their communities of Australia, each with varying cultural practices, customs and norms (Moore, et al., 2014, p. 517). The indigenous Australians have also been referred to asthe black and black fella, a name tagged by the European settlers and this defined them by their skin color. Up to date, the “black” and “black fella”. Up to date, this name is still being used to refer to culturalexpression of the indigenous Australians.According to the latest statistical reports, the indigenous Australians form a small percentage of the total Australia’s population, approximated to 3%. Taking a critical analysis an evaluation of the available literature, it is evident that most of the available information have been authored by white people and this has substantially affected the core facts behind the treatment of the indigenous Australians. This is due to the fact that an author would not wish to reflect a sense of racism into the readers and therefore it is typically important to be critical while taking the historical background and treatment of the indigenous Australians (Newton et al., 2015, p.45).However, it has been considerably noticed that the indigenous Australians have had a series of misery in the history o Australia. This begun way back from the time of European settlement in Australia,which came with sequences of unfair treatment to the indigenous Australians (Rigney, 2017, p.75). A
INDUSTRIAL INGINEERING 3research study conducted in 2009 indicated that the imprisonment rate of the non-indigenous Australians were 14 times below the indigenous Australians. Comparing to the total percentage composition of both groups, it is an absolute implication that there is a sense of unfair treatment between the races. Further studies also indicated that the indigenous Australians were subjected to inappropriate sexual abuse more especially the children (Clifford, Bainbridge, & Tsey, 2015, p. 89).A group of indigenous Australians who called themselves, Murrawarri Republic declared themselves independent from the Australian state, government marking their boundaries between Queensland and the New South Wales which also indicated a sagacity of the unsatisfactory living under the Australian government which in most cases, regarded to be dominated by the non-indigenous Australians (Rix, et al., 2015, p. 85).The stolen wages; this is yet another evidence that the indigenous Australians were undergoing unfair treatment. According the available literature, it is indicate that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanderpeople were paid far less than their counterparts would earn. Restrictions and acts were put forth to monitor employment and marriage of the Aboriginal people (Rix, et al., 2015, p. 85). Although there is anencouraging and improving trend in closing up the existing gap, this can still be witnessed in the current trend of the Australian job market. It is evident that there exists a big gap between the level of education attained by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the non-indigenous groups (Rix, et al., 2015, p. 85).The stolen generation, a study of the mixture of indigenous Australians and the non-indigenous Australians indicated that some children were forcefully taken from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people which later to a mixed race. This demonstrated a clear indication of poor and highly inhuman acts demonstrated by the non-indigenous group (Rix, et al., 2015, p. 85).How the history of the treatment of the indigenous Australians impact on the ethicalpractice of engineering
