Also understanding that if an Elder is needed to deal with an issue, they must be treated with a high level of respect and dignity

The term community is often utilised within Aboriginal contexts. When engaging with Aboriginal communities however, it is important to understand the complexities of such structures to ensure clarity regarding who is engaging with who and for what purpose. There are many different types of Aboriginal communities. Some consist of geographic settlements located in regional, rural, remote or urban areas. Other communities are those of ‘identity or interest’ which often transcend physical boundaries yet nevertheless unite people (Hunt: 2013). Further communities, are those of nation, language and kinship groups united through cultural identity (Hunt & Smith 2006).

There can see the roles of Indigenous organizations in implementing and monitoring the progress of the Strategy by collaboration with other related public and private organizations.

It is natural for many to ask, “Why is this even an issue for society? Aren’t most Aboriginals in reserves?” These type questions bring upon a new layer of difficulty to the issue.

The reason the issue is effecting every member and organization of society whether it be government, Canadian businesses, or the common individual within society; whether they are Aboriginal or not is quite complex. Although it is a complex issue, there are reasons for the issue being public and not private. The first of which is the fact Aboriginals were put into reserves in the first place. This prevented them from learning and growing along with

Australian indigenous culture has always been diverse and pluralistic. There is no one kind of Aboriginal people or community. They have their own distinct history, politics, culture and linguistic experience all over Australia. They are called by different names in different states. As I am from NSW, they are named as koori, koorie, goorie. And as I am from Sydney I would like to concentrate more on the Aborignial people who liked there called Gadigal people.

The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) is an organization that facilitates the engagement between aboriginal communities and Canadian businesses. Founded in 1982, the CCAB has helped aboriginal communities and businesses become economically self-reliant through various learning, mentorship and certification programs, and also bridged the gap between aboriginal and non-aboriginal businesses via programs such as Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR). At present, the CCAB has more than 600 members (including aboriginal and non-aboriginal businesses), and it hosts regular events to foster the relations between its members.

Studies have revealed that organizational communication among other elements impact how a person understands and manages conflict (Alhassan, M. A., Zulkipli, G., & Nizam Isha, A. S., 2014).

Understanding how Aboriginal people communicate. Being silent is very important in their culture. We must understand that when they are being silent, it if a form of prayer or connection and not a sign of rudeness. Another communication strategy is when Aboriginal people take a break from everyday communication. This is just their way of reflecting and getting back in tune with themselves. It is not something we need to be offended by. Understanding that the Aborigines are just trying to catch up and that they may need assistance and a helping hand to understand and catch up to the Western world, which was forced upon them

A leader has a role that can impact others to be more operative in functioning to attain a common goal and maintain effective working relationships amongst group members (Johnson & Johnson 2012). This makes leaders in groups considerably important in shaping individuals (Johnson & Johnson 2012). However, conflict arises in groups and becomes difficult to manage when a leader and the followers lack the skills to manage conflict as a team (Johnson & Johnson 2012). Leadership and conflict resolution skills must exists between leaders and followers in order to manage conflict (Johnson & Johnson 2012). Also, it is possible for followers to teach leaders how to lead and resolve problems since followers can play an active role in building relationships amongst group members (Howell & Shamir cited in Johnson & Johnson 2012).

Conflict is an occurrence in virtually any organization, regardless of how large or small it may be. It is exceedingly difficult to get people to agree with one another about everything all the time, especially when they are competing for the same resources (Tsang, 2012, p. 84).

Organizations may have different categories of employers such as those in sale, marketing, finance, human resources, etc. The three main views of conflict which also play a significant part in the resolving of conflict are the traditional, the human relations, and interactionist views. There are points of similarities and differences between all of these views.
