We Are Going

            They came in to the little town

A semi-naked band subdued and silent

All that remained of their tribe.

They came here to the place of their old bora ground

Where now the many white men hurry about like ants.

Notice of the estate agent reads: ‘Rubbish May Be Tipped Here’.

Now it half covers the traces of the old bora ring.

‘We are as strangers here now, but the white tribe are the strangers.

We belong here, we are of the old ways.

We are the corroboree and the bora ground,

We are the old ceremonies, the laws of the elders.

We are the wonder tales of Dream Time, the tribal legends told.

We are the past, the hunts and the laughing games, the wandering camp fires.

We are the lightening bolt over Gaphembah Hill

Quick and terrible,

And the Thunderer after him, that loud fellow.

We are the quiet daybreak paling the dark lagoon.

We are the shadow-ghosts creeping back as the camp fires burn low.

We are nature and the past, all the old ways

Gone now and scattered.

The scrubs are gone, the hunting and the laughter.

The eagle is gone, the emu and the kangaroo are gone from this place.

The bora ring is gone.

The corroboree is gone.

And we are going.’

Appreciating “We are Going” by Oodgerooo Noonuccal

Read Oodgeroo’s “We are going” (p. 32) and answer these questions on it:

 

1. Explain why they are “silent and subdued”.

2. How are white men represented? Why?

3. What is a bora ring and explain why it is so central to this poem.

4. Explain their reaction in line 8.

5. Lines 9-17 begin a ‘litany’. What is the effect produced?

6. Comment on the significance of metaphors used in the poem.

7. Comment on the structure and form of this poem.

8. Why does Thunder have a capital letter?

9. Comment on the mood and atmosphere created here.

10. Combine comments on its theme, title and conclusion.

1.Maybe beceuse the way of life for them was to be qiete or they were afraid of the white men.

2.Many white men” emphasises the majority who overwhelm black and “like ants” conveys the horror of organised purposeful activity which is not supporting them; it is even exploiting them and their land.

3. The bora ring is a religious and cultural symbol in the aboriganal soicety

4.Being so utterly confused and in emotional turmoil, they can do nothing. Oodgeroo does here seems to reply to white accusations that blacks are “lazy”.

5.Repetition reinforces the point and focuses our attention on it

6.Metaphors used are thunder  daybreak shadow ghost.

7.The varying lengths of lines in the poem’s form add to the substance of their meaning

8. Just as in the Dreamtime stories, the elements have personality. Thunder is “that loud fellow

9.the black people would feel mad and the white maybe ahsaed and assertive mood

10.The first verse of 14 lines is description and the second of 12 is reflection on it

Opening Statement

The ways in which the rights and freedoms of the Aboriginal people in Australia have changed from the dreamtime until the present.

Writters Position on issue

We believe that the European people where in the wrong because:

• They took the Aboriginal’s land.

• The Aboriginal people didnt have the privlage to vote like all of the European men.

• Their children had been taken away from them and sent to a chatholic, christian mission school.

• They wern’t aloud to speak their own language, they where forced to speak english.

• They where resticted from thier normal basic everyday life.

• They wernt given the basic right of a human being.

• The Aboriginal women where raped by the European men.
