Title: Assignment 1 is a Narrative/storying (flexible presentation format) Story Board Value: 30 % Length: very approximately 1000-1500 words Due Date Monday Week 4 This assignment is an opportunity for you to tell an Indigenous individual's health story (on a specific Indigenous health topic or topics) and it can either be from a personal or professional perspective (i.e. knowing someone personally or professionally or from the public domain). You can choose the medium or way of telling this story and these can include: writing down someone's story, recorded oral presentation or poster/picture/collage with an accompanying written document. This is about putting the ‘face to the facts’ as it were and telling the stories that come with the statistics. There are two options for doing this: 1. Personal or professional connection You can choose an Indigenous person that you know of either as a client or a worker in an Indigenous health setting, or through connections with family members or friends. You then talk with them and tell their story and tie it in with some background or an overview of the Indigenous health issue. Of course you can only do this with the person's permission. You will need to ask yourself questions like: How might have this health condition impacted on the person, their family, their community and perhaps the wider community. The assignment will only be viewed by yourself and the marker. OR 2.Public domain If you don't work in the Indigenous health area or personally know any Indigenous people that you could relate to for this assignment; you could look into the lives of some well-known Indigenous Australians who have battled some kind of health issue. This information is in the public domain. You will need to ask yourself questions like: How might have this health condition impacted on the person, their family, their community and perhaps the wider community. It is recommended that you read and search widely. This is by no means a full list and you are not restricted to only these, but some high profile people include: Noel Pearson Nova Peris Linda Burney David Gulpilil Archie Roach Rachel Perkins Dion Beasley Truganini Dr Charles Perkins George Burarrwanga Kirstie Parker Jimmy Little Remember you are looking at the impact of a health condition(s) or an issue(s) that has impacted on their health. Please search widely and think about the whole person.
