Australian geography has been implicated in the White settler colonial project, including in the dispossession of Aboriginal peoples from their lands and the denigration of Aboriginal knowledges. Recognising the harm caused by this racist past is crucial if geography education is to play a stronger role in decolonisation. Much work is already underway. This article reports on a process to Indigenise the curriculum, building a partnership between Aboriginal people and Australian geography educators at the University of Tasmania. Tasmanian geographers and spatial scientists have begun working with Aboriginal people to come to terms with the discipline’s history of genocide, dispossession and cultural politics of extinction. A workshop that was the foundation for this process generated valuable insights into how to include the knowledge and practices of Aboriginal peoples in geography and planning curricula; build communities of practice; and learn to live lawfully and lore-fully on Country. Lessons learned have informed curriculum renewal and are helping to build new relationships.

本土化课程：超越澳大利亚地理的黑暗过去

澳大利亚的地理与白人定居者的殖民项目有关，包括剥夺原住民的土地和诋毁原住民的知识。如果地理教育要在非殖民化中发挥更大的作用，认识到这种种族主义过去所造成的伤害至关重要。许多工作已经在进行中。本文报道了将课程本土化的过程，在塔斯马尼亚大学建立土著人和澳大利亚地理教育者之间的伙伴关系。塔斯马尼亚的地理学家和空间科学家已经开始与原住民合作，以了解该学科的种族灭绝、剥夺和文化灭绝政治的历史。作为这一进程基础的讲习班就如何将土著人民的知识和实践纳入地理和规划课程产生了宝贵的见解；建立实践社区；并学会在乡村完全合法地生活。吸取的经验教训为课程更新提供了信息，并有助于建立新的关系。
