Indigenous Australians

Diabetes has become a serious issue in indigenous Australians in Australia. According to the Australian human rights commission (2001), indigenous people were three times more than non- indigenous Australians. Compared with all the population in the world, aboriginal Australians have the fourth highest rate of type 2 diabetes. Around 10% to 30% of them are diagnosed with diabetes and many of them will have the disease in early age (Better Health Channel, 2011). Based on the truths stated above, it

By 1850, Indigenous Australians were disempowered, dispossessed and devastated by the European invasion of Australia. Whilst white settlement occurred the British colonies and had an impact on the Aboriginal people. Both the British and the Aborigines lead a level of cooperation amongst them. The ‘invasion ‘of British settlers resulted in Aboriginals being dispossessed of their land.

The Indigenous Experience in Australian Courts It is a commonly known issue in Australia that as a minority group, the people of Indigenous Australian ethnicity have always been treated, or at least perceived, differently to those of non-Indigenous disposition. This can be applied to different contexts such as social, economic, education, or in relation to this essay – legal contexts.

The injustice of stereotypes begins with depictions of diverse groups as uniform. For Indigenous Australian stereotypes, there are prevailing negative views of laziness, welfare abuse, substance abuse, and criminality (Perkins, 2014).

There have been many unanswered questions in Australia about Aboriginal history. One of these is which government policy towards indigenous people has had the largest impact on Indigenous Australians?

The purpose of my research is to determine how indigenous people in Australia view climate change compared to non-native Australians. I will focus on the Larrakia tribe in northern Australia and the Charles Darwin University in the nearby city of Darwin. Global warming disproportionately affects people who are more reliant on the land. However, these people are usually the ones with the least say in the government and how this problem is solved. Through my ethnographic research, I will learn how

representation of Indigenous Australians within Australia are heavily influences by what is portrayed in today’s Literature. Indigenous Australians get a rather bad wrap in literature, which has produced negative stereotype towards Indigenous Australians as being primitive, uneducated, drunks, violent, lazy and lacking complex laws, society organisation and cultural diversity (Kroff, J. 2017).

But currently in 2016 our indigenous people live shorter lives, less of them are in professional jobs, less are enrolled in our universities, indigenous Australians are over represented in our judicial system and a very small percentage are represented in our professional arena.

Maybe Tomorrow depicts the life of an Indigenous man living between two cultures emphasising the often-difficult relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
