What was the Ideal Wife in the 1950s?

What were the differences between an Aboriginal person and a non-aboriginal person growing up in the 1950s?

  • ok so, i have a history assignment and im a bit stuck aha i have to use the story below as a guide and explain the similarities and differences between the life of an Aboriginal person and a non-aboriginal person growing up during the 1950s. Here is the story... Albert Namatjira was an Arrente man from the Hermansburg mission in west Alice Springs, who became known nationally for his paintings of central australia. Despite his fame, Namatjira was still subject to the controls of Aboriginal Protection boards. In 1949, his application for a graziers lease was rejected. In 1951 his application for permission to build a house of his own was denied. At the same time as these basic rights were denied him, and even though he was not considered an Australian citizen, Namatjire was required to pay tax on his earnings. Namatjira was awarded the queens coronation medal in 1953, and in 1957 he and his wife were granted honorary citizenship of australia, though their children remained state wards. In 1958, he was arrested for sharing alcohol with a relation who did not have citizennship privleges. For this crime he was forced to spend two months under open arrest on the Papunya Reserve. He died of a heart attack three months later. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! :)
