Telling it like it is: Aboriginal perspectives on race and race relations
Overview
This project aims to provide an evidence base for attitudinal change, to develop new strategies for racial harmony, and to improve the way services are provided to Aboriginal people.
The project team collected data from nearly 200 in-depth interviews with 44 respondents from a cross-section of Darwin’s Aboriginal residents and visitors, a survey of 474 Aboriginal people living in - or regularly visiting - Darwin, and a community Facebook page.
The study asked these respondents:
- How they view the relationship between themselves and settler Australians
- Their perceptions of settler Australian politics, values, priorities and lifestyles
- Their views on arrangements for governance in Australia
- What can be done to improve race relations between the Aboriginal population and settler Australians
