...Indigenous community, one tribe began a nine year strike in 1966, Gurindji Walk Off. The strike was the beginning of change for Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders and had great impact upon the changing freedoms and rights of their people. Wave Hill Cattle Station, located 600 kilometres south of Darwin in the Northern Territory, was the largest cattle farm in Australia sized at 8346 square kilometres. It was owned by Lord Vestey, an English Baron, and was inhabited by the Gurindji people, an Aboriginal tribe who lived and worked there in poor and harsh conditions. The Indigenous workers of Wave Hill lived in ‘humpys’, small huts with dirt floors and a sheet of metal as a roof. They had no access to sanitary facilities and once a week they were rationed meat off-cuts and basic foods such as flour. The women served as house maids, while the men, including young boys, worked as stockmen. The male workers were paid $6 at the end of the week, while the females received nothing. The few non-Indigenous workers at the station earned $25 each...

...1966 – Wave Hill Walk-off The Wake Hill Walk-off was a strike by 200 Gurindji house servants, stockmen and their families at Wave Hill cattle station in the Northern Territory on August 1966. The Aboriginal pastoral workers first conveyed their misery with the poor working conditions and the disrespectful treatment. The next year the group moved to a significance place to the Gurindji people, Wattie Creek. Vincent Lingiari and Mick Rangiari asked Frank Hardy to make a sign which had the word “Gurindji” across it. This showed that their animosity was much deeper than the wages and working conditions. Despite that these people could not read, they understood the significance and power of the sign. 1967 – Referendum On the 27th of May 1967, the Holt Government approved two modifications to the Australian constitution associating to the Indigenous Australians. Australians voted to change the constitution to permit the commonwealth to construct respectful laws for the Indigenous people anywhere they lived in Australia.

...traveling on I see as a dirt road through a light forest in the mountains of northern California. I’m not sure exactly where I am, but it is a bright day with some clouds and blue skies, but off to the distance I can see storm clouds. All I have with me is my backpack containing a notebook, a pen, a pair of gym shorts, a spare t-shirt, a pack of cigarettes with a lighter, a bottle of water and a couple of granola bars. In my pockets I have a cell phone with a dead battery, a pocketknife, and my wallet with five dollars and my I.D. inside. I’m walking, surrounded by trees of all types. There is a light breeze, but it’s quiet as I walk and look around. As I’m walking, the road is flat and somewhat narrow, but it is easy going for the most part, with random spots where the road becomes rocky and somewhat stressful, but it evens itself out and becomes smooth for a period of time again. I feel happy and serene, but exhausted at times and in need of a bit of rest, but I always continue and begin to walk again. As I’m walking, I come to a two-way fork in the road with a sign in the middle. The sign has two arrows with words printed on them. Each arrow is pointing in the opposite direction of the other. To the left I have the choice to walk to the city, while to the right I have the choice to walk to a small country town. After some thought and consideration of both of my choices, I eventually choose to head towards the Country. I’m not sure exactly why I decided to head this way, but...

It would mean a lot to me if you would come,” said Brandon. Other students, especially seniors, are now swarming the hall listening in on their conversation, including Emily. A little background on Emily is that she is the most popular girl in school and she always gets her way. But most important, she has always wanted Brandon to be her boyfriend, but that still has NOT happened, and she gets jealous of Brandon talking to Sierra. Emily walks over to Brandon and Sierra. “OH! May I ask what is going on here?” said Emily. “If you must know Emily, I was just asking if Sierra wanted to come to my party,” said Brandon. “OH!” said Emily disappointed and overly pissed off. “Well, what did she say?” asked Emily. “I don’t know. I almost got an answer from her before we were rudely interrupted,” said Brandon. “Humph!” replies Emily...

The agreement, involving the Founder of Pennsylvania's sons and the Delaware or Lenape, was determined by “as far as a man could walk in a day and a half”.

After his death, his sons faced problems with their father’s debt. In order to pay off the loans, the Penn brothers and their agent James Logan made an agreement with Lenape leaders known as The Walking Purchase. By this, they would claim the land measured by the “walk” and sell it to the colonists for money....

We brush our teeth in the morning, we raise our hand when we want to speak in class, we wait in line behind others instead of cutting, along with tons of other norms. Whenever people break away from these norms society sees it as being deviant, and it catches people off guard because we are to be carrying out these norms, not only by ones-self but also by other’s around us and society. The norm I decided to breech was as simple as walking on the sidewalk to class. There always tends to be a certain side of the sidewalk that people walk on depending on the direction they are going. And when this is disrupted it forces people to change their direction. Whenever...
