reflect and read history which included both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Aboriginality encompasses the response and reaction of Indigenous writers in reclaiming their culture and history. It is seen as a protest against white imperialism and assimilation policies that dominated the beginning of white settlement in Australia. The concept of "Aboriginality" within literature also includes proposals of how both white and Indigenous people can move forward. This concept was introduced in the 1960s when Aboriginal literature was first published, proposing a new way forward. Survival According to academics the theme of survival is reoccurring in Davis’ work as it refers to the first settlement of white people and the long battle Aboriginal people have had to fight for their existence, land, culture, history and rights. Academics reveal the empowerment that Aboriginals feel when they see themselves on the stage acting in Davis's plays, symbolising their ability to reclaim their sense of worth Influence Davis’ life and history was a driving force and influence on his literary work. Davis's experience on Moore River Native Settlement has shaped both his play Kullark, No Sugar and The Dreamers. In Davis’ play No Sugar he recreates the experience using different characters and detailing the large quantity of Aboriginals taken to Moore River Native Settlement Similarly, the Western Australian ‘Protector of Aboriginals’ A.O Neville who sent Davis and his brother to the Moore River Native Settlement features in his plays Kullark, No Sugar and The Dreamers. Davis uses Neville's speeches in his plays to portray the government's perspective on Aboriginals. Additionally, According to academics, Davis tries to demonstrate how the government believed they were doing the right thing for Aboriginal people but neglected to see the Aboriginal perspective and the pain and suffering that was the result. Academics infer that Davis evokes an understanding of the European mindset, yet shows how that attitude also shaped the way Aboriginal people see themselves. According to academics, Davis’ plays were not meant to be a place of conflict or a vent of anger but a place of clarity, empowerment and understanding.
