My gut feel is that 2. is less controversial. Lots of material around to discuss too, as you could compare how other cultures have fared in this ‘multicultural’ society and extrapolate to indigenous culture. Also how indigenous culture has already fared - place name changes, inclusion in football teams, bush tucker going mainstream etc… Lots of things to say about what’s succeeded and what’s failed.
Option 1, though, will instantly start an argument. A nasty one. Very polarising topic.
All the above is just my opinion, though. It’s your choice.

Some really valid points! Thank you so much, I looked at number 2 and couldn’t quite get my head around what information I use.
