Our work with Aboriginal Australia includes:

•    Aboriginal Leadership Program.  Aboriginal leaders assist us to deliver a program that builds the skills of current and emerging Aboriginal leaders;

•    Consistent with Professor Patrick Dodson’s (www.lingiari.org) call for an Australian ‘Post-Reconciliation Dialogue’, we bring Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people together to discuss how we might together build a new tomorrow;

•    Our Indigenous Leadership Research Project documents significant accomplishments within indigenous communities in Australia, NZ, Canada and the USA.  The intention is to record success stories, identifying ‘what is working’.  We will collect these resources to:

• disseminate ‘best practice’ developments between indigenous people;

• broaden the knowledge of policy actors of all races; and

•  promote public understanding of positive parts of the journey of indigenous peoples.  This is not about a rose-coloured view of existing problems.  Rather, it is to convey that the glass is half-full as well as half-empty.

•    Awareness-raising: Through our Immersions, our advocacy and several ERISJ Certificates, we invite non-Aboriginal people to view the world through Aboriginal eyes.

Please revisit this page in coming weeks when many more details will be added.
