Living in relative isolation from the rest of the world, the Koori population was estimated at 300,000 at the time of European contact in the 18th century.
Thus though the Koori had left the African continent over 60,000 years ago, millenia earlier than Europeans, they were treated with the same racist attitudes reserved for Africans of the period.
By the 1930s, the Koori population of Australia had been reduced to a mere 30,000 and perhaps twice that number were of mixed descent.

Koori people interviewed suggested that education, per se, was seen to be vital for their children and their community, but not the kind of education which historically had denied them access to the rewards of wider society.
Koori people commented that dropping out of school was culturally supported, not because the community wanted it to happen, but because it was expected and seen to be better than battling a system which was not going to get you through.

 Gary Foley's Koori History Page - Essay 9 - Whiteness and Blackness in the Koori Struggle for Self-Determination
Koori historian Wayne Atkinson says that it is alleged that 'at least two thirds of moneys allocated for Koori and Islander empowerment and self determination is absorbed by ATSIC in administrative costs, consultancy fees and payments to a whole range of so called experts…the majority of whom are non-Koori'.

The second report of active Koori resistance concerns the stoning and driving away of a boat attempting to land in the lower harbour.
Phillip writes that Koori `dislike of the Europeans is probably increased by discovering that they intend to remain among them, and that they interfere with them in some of their best fishing places, which doubtless are, in their circumstances objects of very great importance'.
Not surprisingly, the Koori men were suspicious of Phillip and the marines, and stood ready to resist any further attacks.

Some Koori women would say that they were going to breastfeed because, if a mother was planning to formula feed, she would have to bring bottles and formula with her into the hospital.

Kooris used the courts to restrict the Museum’s control over Indigenous relics and were successful in gaining recognition of their standing in relation to cultural rights and traditional connections with the ancestral lands.
The idea of the Cultural Institute was driven by the holistic notion of Koori heritage and the need to allow for cross disciplinary learning and the development of career opportunities for Kooris in the administration and management of their cultural heritage.

The Koori Programs Unit was approached in 2003 to propose ideas for the development of an unused, fenced-off area behind the children's centre.
As there were already modern play facilities in the main play area the unit proposed building a secluded garden that could function as an outdoor learning area, a place for discovering and naming native animals and plants, for listening to stories, or simply as a 'time-out' area.
