Indigenous Land Rights

Students read a passage explaining land rights movements among Aboriginal Australians and Māori communities. The text highlights concepts of connection to land, cultural identity, sacred places, and legal efforts to reclaim or protect territory. Learners answer reflection questions in complete sentences, requiring them to explain key ideas, identify challenges, compare both movements, and express supported opinions. This activity builds understanding of Indigenous history, cultural resilience, and political change. It also strengthens comprehension of complex informational text and encourages thoughtful written analysis.
