Context: Australian history, culture, and education leans towards its European side while actively ignoring or suppressing the 40,000 years prior. There is an effort to rectifying this with truth telling and listening to first nations voices, but it is also met with pushback and slow progress on all fronts.
Yeah, honestly after 8th grade, history just became about WW1/2. I get why this is (we have very good records of it and it’s still relevant to this day), but damn would I have done anything to swap it out for something way cooler like Australian indigenous history
