A concept of Baldja Leadership is presented following a study of enablers and inhibitors of shared understanding between Aboriginal and Non Aboriginal people working in the Western Australian civil construction industry. Leadership traits perceived by members of both cultures as creating positive and negative regard for their leaders were identified. This constructivist, interpretivist investigation recommends actions to achieve a 'third space' of understanding that will help to retain Aboriginal people in organizations

The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of crime-specific racial stereotypes upon the Jay person's judgement about the cause of and appropriate punishment for juvenile crime. A pilot investigation (n= 30) revealed that the crimes of motor vehicle theft and possession of an illegal drug were perceived to be more strongly associated with the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal offender respectively. This information formed the basis for the type of crime and offender's race experimental manipulations of the main study. Attribution theory variables and the revised version of a previously validated questionnaire (Furnham & Henderson, 1983) were the two approaches to the measurement of cause in the present study. One hundred and eighteen residents from a random sample of suburbs belonging to the City of Wanneroo in Western Australia participated in the study. Consistent with previous research utilising attribution theory, no significant variation in the attributions based on the race of the offender and the type of crime were observed. The expected influence of crime stereotypes upon causal evaluations received little support. Interestingly, differences for all three independent variables were observed with the questionnaire approach to measurement. Further research is needed to clarify the apparent inconsistency in the findings.

This dissertation focuses on the work-for-pay exchange between aboriginal people and immigrants of European stock--the two most prominent cultural groups in the early history of British Columbia--and follows the patterns of this exchange from its origins through to the 1970s. It examines both the material and the rhetorical construction of the "Indian" as a part of British Columbia's labour force, a process described as racialization, and emphasizes, as well, the transformation of meaning inherent in cross-cultural exchange. It is a province-wide analysis, the core of which is a micro-history of one aboriginal group, the Songhees people, who live in the area now occupied by Victoria, the capital city. This examination challenges the long-standing view that aboriginal people were bystanders in the economic development and industrialization of British Columbia outside, and after, the fur trade. From the establishment of the Colony of Vancouver Island in 1849, through Confederation with Canada in 1871 and to the 1885 completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, aboriginal people comprised the majority of the population in present-day British Columbia, and the majority of the work force in agriculture, fishing, trapping and the burgeoning primary industries. This dissertation charts the subsequent decline in participation of aboriginal people in the capitalist economy from 1885 to 1970. Using a micro-historical study and close attention to aboriginal voices it offers a set of explanations for the changing proportions of work, both paid and unpaid, and state welfare payments. The micro-history reveals that the Songhees people engaged in two distinct but connected economies and were already familiar with forms of labour subordination prior to the European introduction of a capitalist economy. The Songhees participation in paid labour for Europeans was facilitated by these existing forms of labour organization and depended on the co-existence of their other economies; the Songhees used earnings from capitalist paid labour to expand their non-capitalist economies. After 1885, new state policies repressed the non-capitalist aboriginal economics and therefore diminished the underlying motivation for aboriginal participation in capitalist work. At the same time, an influx of labour-market competition and a variety of racialized laws and practices restricted the Songhees' ability to get work. Increasingly they were left with seasonal, low-skill and low-wage labour, a niche that maintained them so long as it was combined with a subsistence economy and involved the full participation of adult and adolescent family members. In the late 1940s and 1950s this pattern too was remade. Legal restrictions dramatically limited the subsistence economies; technological change curtailed the demand for seasonal labour in the canning, fishing and agricultural sectors, particularly affecting aboriginal women workers; and, compulsory schooling regulations began to reduce labour available to the family economy. At the same historic moment when the combined wage and subsistence economies ceased to be able to support them, the state extended some existing social welfare programs, such as Old Age Pension, to Indians, and expanded other programs, including Family Allowance, to all Canadians. In examining the patterns of aboriginal-non-aboriginal exchange relations over the long-term, this dissertation argues that high rates of unemployment and welfare-dependency among contemporary aboriginal communities are relatively recent historical phenomena, with observable roots and causes.

High-ability Aboriginal students are not achieving educational outcomes commensurate to their non-Indigenous peers. High-ability Aboriginal students are also underrepresented in selective academic environments. Transition from primary school to Year 7 in high school is known as a vulnerable period at an age that is a particularly sensitive phase for self-concept development. In addition, when transitioning from primary to high school selective education settings, many high-ability Aboriginal students find that class-average achievement is higher and that they are no longer one of the top students in their class. Researchers have suggested that early streaming of high school classes based upon ability can contribute to negative stereotyping, internalising labels of “ability”, diminishing confidence and motivation in school, and accelerating the formation of deficit beliefs of intelligence as a fixed ability. Other studies have found that experiencing education in a selective setting impacts positively upon high-ability students’ educational striving and achievement. However, there is a paucity of research that has examined high-ability Aboriginal students’ experiences of transition. It is well established from a variety of educational psychology theories that social and emotional factors are influential in the transition to secondary school. These theories include big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE) theory (self-perceptions), growth mindset theory (self-beliefs), expectancy–value theory (self-goals), and ethnic congruence theory (sense of belonging). The quadripolar model is also a useful theoretical framework in that it integrates consideration of two self-protective strategies (success orientation and failure avoidance) on a matrix. The purpose of this study was to investigate how Aboriginal adolescents experience ability grouping, such as gifted and talented classes, in the transition to secondary school. The study aimed to identify the psychosocial determinants of high-ability Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal primary and secondary students’ educational outcomes and wellbeing in different geographical settings (rural and urban) based on the perceptions of multiple stakeholders from rural (n = 1) and urban locations (n = 2) who participated in a 1-hour interview: high-ability Year 7 Aboriginal (n = 5) and non-Aboriginal students (n = 6), Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal parents/carers (n = 5), teachers (n = 12), Aboriginal education officers (n = 7), and school principals (n = 8). Multiple stakeholders participated in a series of interviews prior to transition to secondary school, after initial transition, and at the end of the first year of secondary school. Interview data were transcribed verbatim, key themes were identified using intercoder reliability, and word-frequency tabulation was employed to identify change in reasoning over time, with the results triangulated across multiple stakeholders. Students’ self-perceptions and confidence were significantly associated with their school stratification position, academic self-concept, sense of belonging, and their personal perceptions of the relevance of school. In addition, it was found that effort investment was associated in distinct ways with the ability levels of classmates. The findings suggest that many high-ability Aboriginal students can experience difficulty transitioning to secondary school when placed in classes where the average-ability levels are higher than theirs, forcing upward comparisons that impact adversely on their academic self-concept. Cooperative learning environments were found to enable Aboriginal students to negotiate difficulties and succeed in challenging learning environments. It was also found that a second transition from a selective context to a mixed-ability context could positively affect self-concept and motivation. The study supports and enhances the quadripolar model by identifying the classroom compositional effects that foster strategies that students use to avoid failure and approach success. Examination of the data revealed that high-achieving students strategically manage the representation of their identities in school. These findings support and extend the BFLPE theory and its application to Aboriginal students. It was found that in NSW schools, the achievement levels of Year 7 “gifted and talented” classes are hetrogeneous and disparate, and the classroom climate is often competitive with adverse impacts on self-concept. Conversely, cooperative learning environments increased academic self-concept resulting in growth in achievement, enjoyment, and participation. On this basis, it is recommended that gifted and talented classes reduce comparisons and competition and foster peer social support for Aboriginal students. In transition, strategies need to be employed that account for students’ academic self-concept to avoid competition and maladaptive social comparisons.

In Australia, non-Aboriginal people have been involved in Aboriginal education since the end of the 19th century. There has been ongoing criticism of non-Aboriginal involvement in Aboriginal education and a movement towards Aboriginalisation in education. This study addresses the issues faced by six non-Aboriginal teachers in remote Aboriginal communities in the 1990's. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of non-Aboriginal teachers living and working in remote Aboriginal communities in the 1990's. Through this research I found that the non-Aboriginal teachers faced difficulties living and working in remote Aboriginal communities. They talked about the distinctive lifestyle and living conditions. They reported a need for pre-service and ongoing professional development focusing on aspects influencing their lives. The discussion topics included: their living circumstances; Aboriginal world view; Aboriginal health issues; community issues; Aboriginal teaching and learning styles and school policies. The study is consistent with previous research about non-Aboriginal teachers living and working in remote Aboriginal communities. It argues that pre-service and ongoing professional development is vital for the success of non-Aboriginal teacher in remote communities. Community based educational programs for non-Aboriginal teachers are needed. These programs should include non-Aboriginal teachers learning about Aboriginal culture, Aboriginal learning and teaching styles and the development and implementation of educational policies. These programmes need to include discussion of aspects of living in isolated settings. Schools and governing bodies involved need to develop closer liaison with non-Aboriginal teachers to support their living in this setting. It is also important that policies in place address the problem of the high turnover of non-Aboriginal staff experienced by remote community schools.;This study also poses the question what is the future for non-Aboriginal teachers in remote Aboriginal communities? Aboriginalisation in remote Aboriginal communities is highly recommended.

How do non-Indigenous theatre practitioners, especially actors, access and incorporate Aboriginal themes in the plays they create or perform in? Will it ever be acceptable for a non-Aboriginal actor to play an Aboriginal role? In literature there are clear protocols for writing Aboriginal characters and themes. In the visual arts and in dance, non-Indigenous practitioners might 'reference' Aboriginal themes, but what about in theatre performance? This research embodies one cultural dilemma in a creative project and exegesis: exploring the complex issues which emerge when an Aboriginal playwright is commissioned to write an 'Aboriginal themed' play for two non-Aboriginal actors.

This thesis is a seminal in-depth study of how non-indigenous writers and illustrators construct Aboriginal childhood in children's fiction from 1841-1998 and focuses not only on what these say about Aboriginal childhood but also what they neglect to say, what they gloss over and what they elide. This study probes not only the construction of aboriginal childhood in children's fiction, but explores the slippage between the lived and imagined experiences which inform the textual and illustrative images of non-Aboriginal writers. This study further contends that neo-colonial variations on the themes informing these images remain part of Australian children's fiction. Aboriginal childhood has played a limited but telling role in Australian children's literature. The very lack of attention to Aboriginal children in Australian children's fiction - white silence - is resonant with denial and self-justification. Although it concentrates on constructions of aboriginal childhood in white Australian children's fiction, this study highlights the role that racial imagery can play in any society, past or present by securing the unwitting allegiance of the young to values and institutions threatened by the forces of change. By examining the image of the Other through four broad thematic bands or myths - the Aboriginal child as the primitive; the identification of the marginalised and as the assimilated and noting the essential similarities that circulate among the chosen texts, this study attempts to reveal how pervasive and controlling the logic of racial and national superiority continues to be. By exploring the dissemination of images of Aboriginal childhood in this way, this study argues that long-lived distortions and misconceptions will become clearer

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis are common bacterial agents of otitis media which is a major cause of morbidity in young children. Mucosal immune responses are an integral part of the immune defense against middle ear infection and it is known that certain populations, including Australian Aboriginal children, are highly susceptible to disease. The current study focussed on the development of the mucosal immunity to the three bacterial pathogens in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children from birth to two years of age, living in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder region of Western Australia. Salivary and breast milk IgA levels were measured by the enzyme Linked immunosorbent assay. The measured IgA levels, combined with socio-economic, demographic and bacteriological data were analyzed statistically to determine the influential factors on the mucosal IgA response in these children over time. This study found that each antigen-specific IgA examined followed a distinct ontogeny pattern and IgA responses differed significantly according to age, indigenous status and feeding type. Indoors smoke exposure, maternal smoking, and sibling day care attendance had some impact on salivary IgA levels in the children. However, household crowding and the presence of older siblings had the most significant impact on salivary IgA levels for children of different age groups. These two factors were correlated to increased nasophayrngeal colonization by H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis and colonization status was also found to influence salivary IgA levels in the children. No correlation between maternal breast milk IgA levels and child salivary IgA levels was observed. The results suggest that the degree of exposure to environmental factors rather than immunological deficit is responsible for the observed differences in salivary IgA responses between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children and modifying these factors could lead to a reduction in the burden of otitis media experienced by the children. Further studies correlating specific salivary IgA levels to diseases such as otitis media will reveal the role of specific salivary IgA responses in the prevention of infection by respiratory pathogens.

This thesis examines the policy implications of incorporating social impact assessments, in both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal domains, with a hermeneutic approach, where meanings, interpretation and understanding are emphasised. The key findings are that social impact assessment is influenced by a wide range of disciplines and epistemologies. Hermeneutics offers an approach to social impact assessment which breaks down the dichotomies between epistemology and practice; and between technical and interpretive considerations. This promotes a more emancipatory and communicative process. Issues arising from social impact assessments in Aboriginal domains include the need for: community oriented outcomes; cultural definitions of impacts; a clearer understanding of the role of the practitioner and other stakeholders; an understanding of cumulative impacts; and an understanding of the issues arising from incentives. These issues can also be seen in non-Aboriginal domains. Hermeneutic approaches which have been developed in Aboriginal domains can therefore lead us to solutions in non-Aboriginal domains. Limitations and constraints imposed by the bureaucratic and political structures of representative democracy are also identified. Participatory forms of democracy are found to be more receptive to hermeneutic social impact assessment. People's increasing desire to create a sense of place and articulate aspirations for the future are becoming important for governments and bureaucracies. Hermeneutic approaches in non-Aboriginal, as well as Aboriginal domains, offer one way to accommodate these desires in political and bureaucratic processes.

In this thesis, I argue for anti-colonial constructions of the non-Aboriginal self. I take as my starting point that members of the invader/settler society in Australia must place them/ourselves in an embodied awareness of being in Indigenous sovereignty (Nicholl, 2004: 17) and name them/ourselves accordingly. An anti-colonial construction of non-Aboriginality formed within the locus of Aboriginal Sovereignty undermines the potency of post-colonial processes of identity formation, which privilege the colonialist centre, and the concomitant marginalised position of Indigenous people. Thus, an anti-colonial construction of non-Aboriginality constitutes a radical recentring for processes of identity construction within invader/settler societies. This work responds to critical whiteness studies and post-colonial discourses of belonging. I acknowledge both whiteness studies and work on invader/settler belongings have gained traction in recent years as a means to problematise the whiteness of the settler/invader group and the legitimacy of their/our belongings. However, I argue they continue to operate within colonialist paradigms and perpetuate (neo)colonial power relations. In this thesis, I argue anti-colonial constructions of non-Aboriginality are constructed in dialogue with Aboriginal people. I conceive non-Aboriginality as a political identity that rejects race and colour as markers for identity. Non-Aboriginality enables members of invader/settler societies to articulate support for Aboriginal Sovereignty and Aboriginal claims for social justice and human rights.

Streszczenie:

The worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased dramatically over the past half-century and is continuing to rise at a rapid rate, along with increasing levels of obesity. These changes are having a profound effect on healthcare planning and provision in many countries. Strong environmental effects in T2D risk are clear from longitudinal studies. In addition, groups with traditional lifestyles who migrate to a more ‘Westernised’ environment and lifestyle suffer increased diabetes prevalence. Environmental factors, however, do not seem to explain all of the variance in type 2 diabetes prevalence, nor all the variance in response to intervention studies. Offspring of patients with type 2 diabetes have about a three-fold higher risk of developing the disease than those with no diabetes family history. Diabetes prevalence also differs between ethnic groups within countries. South Asian populations living in the UK and US have approximately 4-6 times the risk of developing diabetes compared to those of European descent. This effect may also be evident in other Native American populations such as the Mapuche in Chile. Mapuche populations living a traditional rural lifestyle appear to be relatively protected, on limited data, against diabetes risk (prevalence of ~1% to ~4%; but this risk increases markedly in the urban environment (6.2 to 8.2%). These observations suggest that genetic predisposition is also a factor in determining diabetes risk, but this is complicated by gene-environment interactions, where individuals with different genotypes respond differently in different environments.

This thesis examines how staff working within Aboriginal community-controlled non-profit organisations (ACCOs) perceive and practice Public Relations (PR), and foregrounds how ACCO staff, in the role as the organisations’ key communicators, can be seen as facilitating communicative processes of social change that lead to positive social outcomes within Australian Aboriginal communities. This relationship between PR and social change has been increasingly acknowledged in scholarship. Although most of the PR literature continues to focus on the management of communications between organisations and their publics, recent scholarship sheds light on PR’s influence on society and culture, and vice versa. This indicates PR is more than just a practical tool for an organisation. Rather, PR has the potential to be a much-needed voice for marginalised groups in society. More specifically, this thesis explores PR in the non-corporate environments of the Indigenous sector in Perth, Western Australia. A selection of six ACCOs based in the metropolitan area of Perth represent the sample, and seven ACCO staff members participated in this research. Drawing on a postcolonial theoretical framework and employing a qualitative research approach and Indigenous methodology, this thesis found that ACCOs predominantly practice PR-like activities in reactive ways on an ad hoc basis due to their limited communicative resources or lack of knowledge on how to integrate PR into their organisational structure. It was further established that short-term government funding programs challenge the ACCOs’ ability to budget for PR. A key finding was the importance of Aboriginal culture and kinship systems that must be factored in to understanding the ACCOs’ working environments and ways of communicating with members, communities and other stakeholders. This thesis calls for further research and development of theoretical frameworks embracing and extending the cultural diversity of PR practices. Moreover, it contends that there is a need to introduce culturally sensitive and sector-specific PR that sheds light on Indigenous contexts particularly within postcolonial societies, as PR holds the potential to give voice to and drive social change for minorities in our communities locally and abroad.

Much academic work concerned with social and cultural processes in Australia takes as its field of inquiry how the lives of Aboriginal Australians have been changed and impacted on by colonisation. Rarely has scholarship attempted to uncover some of the ways Aboriginality and Aboriginal people have become integral in the shaping of the lives of non-Aboriginal Australians. Ths thesis takes to heart the challenge of subjecting oneself and one's own social and cultural position to the rigours of sociological scrutiny and sets out to examine how crucial Aboriginality and Aboriginal people have been in shaping the lives, identities and economies of non-Aboriginal Australians. Drawing on the work of Homi Bhabha the thesis argues that ambivalence, whch underlies much of colonial discourse, can have a tremendously disruptive and unsettling effect on the authority, identities and everyday social lives of non-Aboriginal people. The thesis explores something of the diversity of this ambivalence by focusing attention on five groups of people (One Nation Supporters, retired tourists, 'alternative lifestylers', governmental workers and early colonists); two historical moments(early colonial times and the late 1990s); and two regions (the south-west and Kimberley of Western Australia). The thesis argues that one of the effects of ths ambivalence is that the social worlds of non- Aboriginal Australians are often subjected to challenge and change. In early colonial times many 'settlers' were tom between the will to colonise and economic and cultural reliance on the efforts and knowledge of Aboriginal people. More recently, One Nation supporters attempt to distance themselves from Aboriginal people by constituting them as the barbaric and parasitical other. At the same time, Hansonites indirectly position Aboriginality as central to their own identity and political future. Another group, retired tourists, regularly perpetuate old colonial tropes and publicly express their disdain of Aboriginal people. At the same time, these people yearn for and engage in social practices otherwise associated with Aborigrnal culture. Behind both groups' public attacks on Aborigines as cannibals and the 'Aboriginal Industry' as spongers lies a deep political and cultural reliance on Aboriginality. Romantics and others who aspire to consume and mimic Aboriginal culture are likewise regularly ambivalent and contradictory in their treatment of Aboriginality. It is arguable that many are selfinterested and seek to plunder Aboriginal cultural. However, the very romance that prompts their mimicry can and does act to unsettle the certainty of non-Aboriginal dominance. This prompts people to re-examine their identities and social practices. Ambivalence and complexity is also central to the lives of those involved in the business of Aboriginal governance. On the one hand, these people are clearly implicated in the government and regulation of Aboriginal people. On the other hand, liberal discourse on fairness and equality of opportunity force governmental workers to increase their contact and reliance on Aboriginal people. This often has the effect of provoking changes in non-Aboriginal people's personal and working lives. The thesis concludes that the engagement of colonial discourse with Aboriginalities inevitably leads to an ambivalence that disables the monolithic dominance of non-Aboriginal Australians. In a range of ways this ambivalence can and does produce conditions whch undermine and transform the cultural lives and identities of non-Aboriginal Australians.

Streszczenie:

When European settlers first arrived in Australia in 1788, Aboriginal Australians, or Traditional Owners, spoke more than 250 languages. Indigenous Australian languages are now broadly categorised into two groups: Pama-Nyungan (PN) and Non-Pama-Nyungan (NPN) languages. PN speakers traditionally inhabited more than 90% of the land mass of mainland Australia, whereas NPN speakers traditionally occupied only 10% of the land area, and this was in the far northwest of the continent. The NPN language group in particular shows very high linguistic diversity. Studies of nuclear DNA variation can provide valuable information on population polymorphism, structure, and demographics such as expansion, settlement and to date, there have been no such studies on NPN populations. Hence, population genetic studies are important to understand the genetic structure and history of NPN speaking populations. To understand the settlement of NPN language speakers in Australia and their genetic relationship with PN speakers, I undertook a comprehensive population genetic analysis of Aboriginal Australians across the continent. I obtained 56 samples with approval of Aboriginal Australian Elders from six different regions of the country, including Groote Eylandt Island (Anindilyakwa language speaker; NPN), Mornington Island (where Lardil, Kaidal and Yangkaal language speaker; NPN), northeast Arnhem Land (Yolngu language speakers; PN) and Normanton (Gkuthaarn/Kukatj language), Cairns (Gunggandjii) and Stradbroke Island (Jandai language speakers; PN). I performed whole genome sequencing with coverage (30-60X) and population genetic analysis of individuals representing three PN-speakers from three locations and four NPN-speaking populations from two locations. The 56 new genomes reported here were combined with previously published whole genome sequences of contemporary (100) and high coverage (5X) ancient (4) individuals to understand maternal and paternal ancestry, as well as nuclear genetic diversity. Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed that Aboriginal Australians comprise four major haplogroups. These comprised N and S haplogroups that are unique to Aboriginal Australians while P, M haplogroups are shared with their neighbours from Papua and South East Asia. Phylogenetic analysis of whole mitochondrial genomic sequences showed NPN and PN speakers have shared ancestry within Australia and outside Australia, prior to European settlement. Analysis of Y-Chromosome haplogroups showed that NPN language speakers from Gulf of Carpentaria Island regions and PN speakers (Yolngu) from northeast Arnhem land have experienced very little admixture with Europeans since they arrived. However, Y-Chromosome marker from individuals belong to Stradbroke Island and Normanton showed that 90-100% of samples have European and East Asian ancestry. In addition, Y-Chromosome sequences from the Arnhem Land region showed that members of the Yolngu speaking population have a higher level of shared male ancestry with NPN speakers from Groote Eylandt and Mornington Islands than with other PN populations. Analyses of nuclear whole genome data, including PCA, ADMIXTURE & Out-group F3-statistics, revealed that NPN have distinct ancestry shared among NPNs. In addition, genetic analysis shows that PNs are the closest population to NPNs. This suggests that Australia were likely colonised by a single founder population. Furthermore, Nuclear analysis of PN speaking Arnhem Land population show that they are more closely related to NPN speakers than any other PN speakers in Australia. This is owing to the geographical proximity between these populations than their linguistic relatedness. Finally, the above 56 Aboriginal Australians samples were used to address the intriguing hypothesis, first proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1870, that a close genetic relationship exists between the Indigenous peoples of Australia and India. To investigate this hypothesis, I sampled 14 genomes from South Asia and sequenced these to 30X coverage. These were compared to 160 Aboriginal Australian genomes which comprised newly sequenced (56) and previously published modern (100) together with ancient (4) samples. Population genetic analysis revealed that Aboriginal Australians do have Indian ancestry, ranging from 1-7%. However, due to the low proportion of Indian ancestry in a very few individuals I could not further confirm the potential Holocene migration from India to Australia. Future studies based on more modern and ancient Aboriginal Australian genomes could help to confirm or reject the hypothesis. The datasets presented in this thesis provide new knowledge about Aboriginal Australians including insights into their uniparental sequence ancestry, as well as genetic structure and settlement of NPN language speakers. These results will be invaluable for future research on contemporary Aboriginal Australians and will provide important implications for the identification of unprovenanced remains from regions across Australia.

Streszczenie:

This research utilised a range of deterministic and stochastic analyses to establish whether Queensland's juvenile justice system processes Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young male offenders differently. The impetus for this research stemmed from the continued high rates of Aboriginal over-representation within Australia's criminal justice system, despite diversionary measures to reduce such over-representation, and a commitment by the Queensland Government to reduce by 50% the number of Aboriginal peoples in custody by the year 2011. There are two competing hypotheses concerning the cause of this over-representation, (i) external factors such as socioeconomic disadvantage, unemployment or substance abuse, or (ii) systemic disparity within the criminal justice system. For this research, disparity is defined as the unacceptable use of discrimination; discrimination can be appropriate if it is used to define or enhance a situation, such as discriminating between offenders who are recidivists and those who are first time offenders. The inappropriate use of discrimination occurs for example, when harsher sentences are issued to offenders based on non-legal factors such as race or gender. Systemic disparity is therefore used here to represent the inappropriate use of discrimination against an offender by the criminal justice system. The second hypothesis, one of systemic disparity, provided the framework for this research, which posed the following primary question: Is there quantifiable evidence to support the existence of disparity acting against young male Aboriginal offenders within Queensland's juvenile justice system? Two separate but complementary studies were designed to address this issue: the pathways study and the trajectory study. The pathways study utilised 20,648 finalised appearances for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young male offenders in Queensland's juvenile courts, during 1999 to 2003. Three custodial decision-making stages (police custody, remand, and sentencing) were examined and two questions initially posed: Does the custodial decision made at one stage of the juvenile justice system impact on a subsequent custodial decision-making stage? Does criminal history, Aboriginal status, offence type or an interaction of these factors significantly influence the probability of (i) detention in police custody (ii) court remand (iii) a custodial order at sentencing? It was recognised that other legally relevant factors such as family structure and stability, school attendance and community ties might also influence these custodial decisions; however, for the purposes of this research it was not possible to include these variables in the analyses. Controlling for criminal history, findings from logistic regression analyses indicated that being detained in police custody increased the odds of being remanded into custody, and being remanded into custody increased the odds of a custodial order. Whilst Aboriginal status was not a consistent factor at any of these three custodial stages, there was clear evidence of disparity acting against the young male Aboriginal offender, particularly early in their criminal career. To examine these disparities further, these three custodial stages were modeled as eight processing pathways: four of which resulted in a custodial order and four in a noncustodial order. Using this processing model, a third question was posed: Do young Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal male offenders have different custodial pathways? Findings indicated that Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young male offenders were in general, processed along similar custodial pathways that did not include police custody, remand or a custodial order. However, young male Aboriginal offenders were less likely than equivalent non-Aboriginal offenders to have been processed along this pathway and more likely to be processed along the pathways that included remand. It was found that young offenders with a chronic criminal history were more likely to be processed along these remand pathways, and Aboriginal offenders were more likely to have a chronic criminal history than non-Aboriginal offenders; there was clear evidence of disparity at specific custodial stages of the system. In addition, as young male Aboriginal offenders progressed deeper into the system there was evidence of cumulative disparity, particularly along the remand pathways, meaning that the probability of being in custody increases as the offender progresses from one custodial stage to the next custodial stage. Given the existence of disparity, acting within the juvenile justice system and against the young male Aboriginal offender, it was important to formulate viable solutions to such disparity, particularly in light of the Queensland government's commitment to reduce Aboriginal offenders in custody by 50%. Deterministic analyses and computer simulations were used to test the viability of various reduction scenarios suggested by the data. Despite in some instances, different results from the deterministic analyses and the computer simulations, overall findings indicated that to reduce custodial disparity whether at the remand stage, the custodial order stage, or in custody overall (the summation of police custody, remand and custodial orders) that reducing remand, regardless of whether the young offender had been in police custody or not, was the best overall solution. The trajectory study built on the findings of the pathways study, which had identified criminal history as an important factor in the processing pathways of young male Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal offenders. Using the semi-parametric group based method, the criminal trajectories of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young male offenders in Queensland were modeled. These trajectories were based on the finalised appearances of two cohorts of young offenders aged 10 to 17 years of age: those born in 1983 and 1984 and who had turned 18 years of age in 2001 and 2002 respectively. All of these young male offenders had entered the adult system when they turned 17 years of age, and this data provided their complete juvenile history in Queensland. Prior analyses using this method had not considered Aboriginal status or race as a determining factor in these trajectory models, nor had these models been validated either internally or externally in published works. For this research, internal validity was considered as the correct classification of offenders into trajectory groups, and external validity as the ability to reproduce these results in a second or subsequent sample of juvenile offenders. Two questions were therefore posed in the trajectory study: Do young Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal male offenders have different criminal trajectories? Can the predicted model(s) be validated, both internally and externally? Initial findings indicated that the optimal trajectory models selected on prior knowledge and the Bayesian Information Criterion did not validate internally. This finding brought into question the trajectory results of other published works that had not internally validated their models. The models finally selected as optimal indicated that Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young male offenders did not have a common criminal trajectory and could not be modeled as one population. Both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young offenders were modeled by a low-frequency group, a late-onset group, and a chronic trajectory group. However, the young male Aboriginal offender was more likely than the non-Aboriginal to have been in the chronic or the late onset group and less likely to have been in the lowfrequency group. External validation utilised an innovative but simple method that utilised all of the data in the modeling process along with a sample of this same data for validation purposes: 10% of the criminal profiles, which were characteristic of the trajectory groups, and a further 5% of randomly selected profiles were chosen for validation. All of the characteristic profiles, but only 50% of the randomly selected profiles were validated, and of the latter, the majority not validated was in the late-onset group. In total, 79.2% of the Aboriginal trajectories and 85.6% of the non-Aboriginal criminal trajectories were correctly externally validated. Overall, there are two important implications from this research for government. First, even though young male Aboriginal offenders are more likely to have a chronic criminal history than non-Aboriginal offenders, this factor does not account for all of the observed disparity acting against the young Aboriginal offender within Queensland's juvenile justice system: there is evidence of disparity within the system that is unaccounted for by either offence type or criminal history. Second, given this chronic criminal history, systemic solutions to systemic disparity whilst viable, will not ultimately resolve this problem: they are only short-term measures at the end of a very long justice system. Longer-term solutions are needed to address external factors such as socio-economic disadvantage, unemployment and substance abuse in Aboriginal communities, before these young people are exposed to the system. Continuing to concentrate on systemic solutions, to such an entrenched problem as Aboriginal overrepresentation and disparity, is a misdirection of system resources and is inconsistent with social justice.

Language development is central to how children learn and participate within their environment and specific cultural milieu. There is little information available on the process of language acquisition for Aboriginal children. The purpose of this study was to investigate caregiver-child interactions regarding language development from the perspectives of Aboriginal mothers. Thirty Aboriginal mothers from the remote northern community of Lac Brochet, Manitoba, and 30 non-Aboriginal mothers from an urban area of Winnipeg were administered a 36-item survey. Discriminant statistical analysis was carried out on the data. Results indicated there were few items within the survey that assisted in the identification of cultural groups. The differences in beliefs that were noted included Aboriginal mothers’ placing a higher value on grandparents’ roles in child rearing, the influence of spirituality, positive views on “baby talk”, and the use of instructions when teaching their children. Differences were also noted in the frequency with which the two groups used language facilitation techniques, with the Aboriginal mothers reporting more frequent use overall. . The results of the surveys suggested that one group of Aboriginal mothers in a northern Manitoba Dene community may have many of the same perspectives on language facilitation as urban non-Aboriginal mothers. Thus educators and speech-language pathologists may find they can recommend some of the same Western-based practices for language facilitation with some Aboriginal caregivers. However, each community and individual family is different, therefore and thus , it remains crucial for practitioners to determine the appropriateness of the Western-based assumptions for each community and individual family.. The findings also indicated that Aboriginal mothers valued native language preservation. Clinicians providing services within Aboriginal communities must be aware of each family’s use of native languages and the presence of dual language acquisition and exposure. Dual language acquisition beganin the caregivers’ homes and should be supported throughout the school years, so that a collaborative network of language facilitation can occur.

The purpose of this study was to examine the comparability of the B C Ministry of Education's Grades 4 and 7 Reading and Numeracy Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) scores for aboriginal and non-aboriginal students. It was found that the compositions of the constructs being measured had many similarities across the aboriginal and nonaboriginal populations and were congruent for the reading assessments but not for the numeracy assessments. The reliability estimates of the scores for each population were high and very similar. The Grade 7 Numeracy assessment provided more measurement accuracy for the aboriginal group than the non-aboriginal group, while the Grade 4 Numeracy assessment and the Grades 4 and 7 Reading assessments provided less measurement accuracy for the aboriginal group than the non-aboriginal group. For all assessments, items were ordered similarly in terms of their difficulty level and their degree of discrimination, and were ordered moderately similar in their inherent possibility of being answered correctly based on chance. For all assessments there was a low level of differential item functioning. Overall, the results indicated that for this study, there was a high degree of comparability across the aboriginal and non-aboriginal populations for the Reading FSA scores because all four analyses for both grades showed them to be highly comparable. There was a moderately high degree of comparability across the two populations for the Grade 4 Numeracy FSA scores because three out of the four analyses showed them to be highly comparable. There was a moderate degree of comparability across the two populations for the Grade 7 Numeracy FSA scores because two out of the four analyses showed them to be highly comparable.

Abstract Children are the country's greatest assets, and child health is an important indicator of national competitiveness, enough to affect the future of the country. World Health Organization (World Health Organization, referred to as WHO) pointed out that children represent the future, adults face many health problems can be traced back to childhood, is to ensure the growth and development of children's health and to understand the health of school children is an extremely important thing. The purpose of this study is to compare Aboriginal and non-aboriginal elementary school Tongjian Kang status of the current situation and differences. This study used secondary data analysis (Secondary Data Analysis), a cross-sectional (cross-sectional) study. The research data SPSS19.0 statistical software for descriptive statistics, chi-square test, the percentage of the homogeneity test and the Fisher's exact test, and other analysis. The findings: A total of 226 elementary school students participated in the study, including 97 aboriginal students, 129 non-aboriginal students. Children the average age of 9.19 years (SD = 1.84), begin with high school for the majority. Aboriginal elementary school Tongqi Cheng three two uncorrected visual acuity are 0.9; more than 88% of dental caries; 67% of the position for the moderate, more than 45 percent of the injury is a surgical disease. Tongwu Cheng eight non-aboriginal elementary school two bare, as are 0.9; 86% of dental caries; position for over eight five moderate; more than 44 percent of the injury is a surgical disease. King Village aboriginal elementary school students of vision is better, living in aboriginal elementary school students oral status Pandan Village and parental occupation for persons who is better. No caries of the aboriginal and non aboriginal elementary school students, fourth grade, sixth grade girls are more healthcare visits. Surgical diseases of non-aboriginal elementary school students in first grade, p = .007. 9-year-old, 10-year-old non-aboriginal elementary school students overweight and overweight, 7-year-old non-aboriginal elementary school students of medical illness and surgical diseases, p values were .02, .01, .01. The boy non-aboriginal elementary school students overweight and overweight are more p-value is .03. King Village aboriginal elementary school students, two bare, as are 0.9, p value is .03. Uncorrected visual acuity of parental education for the aboriginal elementary school students in high school two more are all 0.9, p = .03. Two bare as the parents' occupation of the people in aboriginal elementary school students are 0.9 p-value is .03. Conclusions of this study: Aboriginal elementary school students on average health status than non-aboriginal elementary school students in the health status of the current situation are good. Keywords: aboriginal elementary school students, non-aboriginal elementary school children, health status.

Streszczenie:

This doctoral project explores the collaborative process and relationships formed between anthropologists and/or filmmakers and the Aboriginal people they work with. I use the making of film as the research site to explore the collaborative process and the building of relationships within this process. As anthropologists/filmmakers, the Aboriginal people we now work with, are situated in, and identify themselves within an environment that is a product of more than twenty years of requesting ownership and control of their representations. Aboriginal people are in many cases, highly politicised and direct how they work with anthropologists/filmmakers. This has called for the development of a collaborative practice that honours this altered environment and the way in which Aboriginal people are positioning themselves within it. Through the exploration of my own collaborative practice and those of other anthropologist/filmmakers, I argue that collaborative engagement with Aboriginal people is strongest when it is long term and grounded in the core tenets of respect, trust and shared ownership. This results in a visual product that stems from a process that incorporates the conflicting and differing perspectives and desires of a group of people, versus fulfilling the singular agenda of the anthropologist/filmmaker. I also argue that a long term collaborative relationship is visually evident in the film through the way the people being filmed represent themselves on screen. In this exegesis, I critically analyse the collaborative relationships I developed in my project and the evidence in the films for the intimacy developed in these relationships. This project is a body of material that includes a series of photographs, two films and an exegesis. Incorporated into the film Stitch by Stitch (2017) and the exegesis are still images taken from the films and B&W photographs taken during my fieldwork. Stitch by Stitch (2017) is an ethnographic film that was made with a group of Ngarrindjeri women who live in and around The Coorong and Lower Murray Lakes in South Australia. It focuses on a number of core issues of importance to these women. These are linked throughout the film by the process of weaving from the freshwater rushes that grow in the estuary environment of The Coorong. These core issues include yarning together, teaching, the degradation of the environment and preparing the next generation as custodians for continuing the cultural and artistic practice of weaving. There is also a second film that is strictly pedagogical and a documentation of the key stages of the weaving process. This film was made at the request of the woman who has been my central collaborator and friend in the project, Aunty Ellen Trevorrow. The making of these films constituted my research site for exploring collaboration between myself as an anthropologist/filmmaker, and my Ngarrindjeri colleagues. I spent seven years making the films with the Ngarrindjeri women. This was incorporated into a total of eleven years fieldwork and ongoing engagement with Ngarrindjeri men and women. My fieldwork was defined by periods of long and short-term stays, multiple conversations and communication with my Ngarrindjeri colleagues. Using the making of the film as the research site as a means to explore collaboration, has resulted in identifying collaborative engagement based on respect, trust and shared ownership as a pathway for ethnographic filmmaking practice that honours the contemporary environment in which Aboriginal people are now requesting ownership of their representations and enlisting the skills of anthropologist/filmmakers in furthering their cultural and political goals. This is a pathway that encapsulates the building of trust, respect and intimacy between filmmakers/anthropologists and their Aboriginal colleagues, as well as acknowledging that any collaborative process is marked by conflicts and differing perspectives that potentially allow for multiple outcomes and products. It also argues that deep long term relationships are the foundation for building powerful partnerships between Aboriginal people and anthropologists and/or filmmakers into the future.

This exploratory case study investigated the ways non-Aboriginal teachers of Biology conceive of incorporating Aboriginal perspectives into their delivery of the Biology curriculum in Alberta. The participants in this study were non-Aboriginal Biology teachers teaching in schools with predominantly non-Aboriginal students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with each of the teacher participants and explored issues and challenges that they face infusing Aboriginal contexts into their teaching. The qualitative data generated were coded using themes developed from a conceptual framework for curriculum implementation. The majority of the teachers saw value in incorporating Aboriginal perspectives but shared concerns due to: unclear definitions of Aboriginal and Aboriginal perspectives; an inadequate knowledge base; and lack of material resources and professional development opportunities. Recommendations to help non-Aboriginal teachers include: better access to and targeted professional development and resources; greater clarification on the definitions of Aboriginal and Aboriginal perspectives; and greater amounts of administrative and governmental support.

This qualitative case study explored the response of four practicing non-Aboriginal teachers related to preservice training and effectiveness. Each of the participants involved in this research project was an experienced teacher with a minimum of five years of teaching experience. This case study is framed within the conceptual context of cultural responsivity. The research questions were: What do four non-Aboriginal teachers with over five years experience working with Aboriginal students describe as qualities of effective teaching in this context? What are some of the major social justice issues that teachers need to address in order to be both successful and effective when working with Aboriginal students? Methods for data collection included semi-structured interviews during which the participants shared their stories. These conversations were audio taped and the audio tape recordings were transcribed. The transcriptions were analyzed to determine insights from the stories. Those teachers who are interested in learning about being an effective teacher of Aboriginal students will find the stories insightful. While the researcher and participants were non-Aboriginal the stories may be helpful for all teachers, regardless of their ethnic or cultural background, as they work with both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students. The implications of this study are that further research is needed in the areas of Teacher Education, Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, and Teacher Effectiveness.

The purpose of this autoethnographic study was to examine three questions: (a) how did my view of myself as a non-Aboriginal educator change as a result of teaching in an Aboriginal cultural context, (b) how did my teaching philosophy and pedagogical approach change as a result of teaching in an Aboriginal cultural context, and (c) how did my sense of community and relatedness to the people I interacted with change due to increased cultural awareness and exposure to Aboriginal cultures? Data from my time in my teacher education program and teaching in Klemtu, BC was collected, and Mezirow’s (1997) transformative learning theory was used to analyze the shift that I made in these three areas. Finally, recommendations were made to teacher education programs and future non-Aboriginal educators who choose to teach in Aboriginal-run schools.

The needs of long-term care have been increasing because of aging of population. However, based on previous literature in Taiwan, aboriginal people need more long-term care than non-aboriginal people. Research on long-term care utilization of minorities also demonstrated that aboriginal people (or subordinate group) prefer community-based and home-based care while non-aboriginal people (or dominant group) prefer institutional services. Data used in this research was collected in the second-stage survey of “ 2001 Long-term Care Need Assessment in Taiwan.” A national representative sample of 550 50-year-old disabled aboriginal people was studied, comparing with non-aboriginal people by the level of dependency. The comparisons between these two people show that: higher percentage of aboriginal people were found in those who were female, young, with no spouse, most with elementary school diploma, not entitled to social welfare benefits, had less long-term care resources, had more children, with equal disable degrees, had less chronic impairment and needs in nursing care. In terms of service utilization, the rate of using no service by aboriginal people is higher than by non-aboriginal people. Also, a multiple logistic regression analyzing the relationship between different ethnics and different services provides significant evidence that aboriginal people prefer community-based and home-based care over institutional services. The Andersen Behavioral Model was used to examine the factors associated with using community-based or home-based care, hiring a foreign care aide or using institutional services among the disabled aboriginal and non-aboriginal people. Bivariable and multivariable analyses showed that after controlling for the level of dependency, factors including material status (with no spouse), education (with no school diploma), entitlement to social welfare benefits, the level of dependency (those who were severely dependent) and needs in nursing care (more needs) were noticeably associated with using community-based and home-based care; factors including marital status (had spouse), education (with high school diploma and above), entitlement to social welfare benefits, abundance in long-term care resources, the level of dependency (those who were severely dependent), chronic conditions (more diseases) and needs in nursing care (more needs) were noticeably associated with hiring care aid; factors including material status (with no spouse), education (high school diploma and above), entitlement to social welfare benefits, abundant in long-term care resources, the level of dependency (those who were severely dependent) and needs in nursing care (more needs) were noticeably associated with using institutional service. As for non-aboriginal people, disabled ones with elementary school diploma were inclined to use community-based and home-based care; however, disabled people who were at least with high school diploma were inclined to hire care aid; and disabled people who were at most with elementary school diploma, had insufficient long-term care resources and had more needs in nursing care were inclined to use institutional care. To sum up, this study concluded that there is difference in using long-term care between aboriginal people and non-aboriginal people. Besides, factors influencing their utilization of long-term care are distinct. Based on these findings, I propose two suggestions: one is the program to strengthen the community resources to aboriginal people according to their culture and lifestyle; the other policy is to review the policy of long-term care in terms of resources distribution by taking into account of the disabled minorities, principle of fairness as well as citizens’ rights to wellbeing. Because this research used the data from secondhand information source, there are some limitations in analyzing these samples and variables properly. I suggest that in the future, researchers could collect more variables and more detailed information, and conduct cohort study to develop a complete database of aboriginal people to serve as a better policy making reference.

The objectives of this study were to understand the differences between Taitung aboriginal and non-aboriginal children in anthropometrical measurements and related eating behaviors. The cluster sampling method was used to sample 785 children aged 9-11 year-old, from 10 elementary schools in Taitung city, Tamari, and Kuanshian town in 2001. There were 291 aborigines and 494 non-aborigines in this study. Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and percent of body fat of the children were measured. The 10 year-old non-aboriginal male children were significantly taller than the same age aboriginal male children. The height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and percent body fat of 11 year-old non-aboriginal male children were significantly higher than those of the aboriginal male children. No differences of anthropometrical measurements were found between two ethnic female children. BMI had significantly positive correlation with waist circumference, hip circumference, and percent body fat. The percent body fat also positively correlated with waist circumference and hip circumference. By defining obesity as BMI higher than 95th percentile of BMI-for-age curve, the prevalence of obesity of the 9-11 year-old Taitung male children were 15.4%, 20.2%, and 22.3% respectively, and 15.2%, 10.1%, 12.0% for female children. The prevalence of obesity of male children was higher than that of female children. The prevalence rates of obesity were 22.1% for non-aboriginal male, 15.3% for aboriginal male, 14.9% for non-aboriginal female, and 10.3﹪for non-aboriginal female. The prevalence rate of obesity among school children in this study, especially male children, was higher compared to that of nationwide survey at the same area in 1993-1996. Aboriginal children ate breakfast outside, and skipped their lunch and supper more frequently than non-aboriginal children. The aboriginal children preferred high calorie, high fat foods, and sugar containing drinks to non-aboriginal children. There were also differences on mealtime expense and the habits of eating dessert and snack. Relationship between mealtime expense and overweight, eat faster was at higher risk for overweight (OR=1.33, P<0.05). Aboriginal children tended to eat more when they were in a bad mood, high spirits, having good performance, and being scolded. Non-aborigine children spent more time on computer games, home assignment or extracurricular skill lessons after school than aboriginal children. While aboriginal children preferred sports, jogging, bicycling, and roller-skating for after school physical activities. Children watching longer television were also at higher risk for overweight (OR=1.25, P<0.05). In conclusion, aboriginal children may need more nutrition education on food selection, slow eating, and emotion-induced eating behaviors modification. While non-aboriginal children need to increase their physical activities to prevent obesity.

Background: Taiwan has a comprehensive health care services, but the difference in mortality between urban and rural areas still exist. Many factors that affect mortality including lifestyle, socioeconomic status and the health care service. Amenable mortality is a widely used indicator in the measurement of health outcome. When amenable mortality is higher in the area of medical resources inadequate or uneven distributed, that means the government should pay more attention to the health care investment. Objectives: First, to explore amenable mortality and its trend between aboriginal and non-aboriginal areas in Hualien during 1986 to 2010. Second, to compare the trends of amenable mortality before and after the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI). Methods: We used direct standardized method to calculate amenable mortality rates and gender-specific, age-specific and cause-specific amenable mortality rates. Joinpoint regression was used to identify changes in mortality trends that might be associated with the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI). Then we examined the relative ratio in amenable mortality and non-amenable mortality rates between aboriginal and non-aboriginal areas. Results: The standardized amenable mortality rates in aboriginal and non-aboriginal areas had declined from 1986 to 2010, and the percentage account to total death rates had the same trend. Amenable mortality in aboriginal decreased more than non-aboriginal did after the implementation of NHI. The gap in relative ratio of amenable mortality rate still expanded between aboriginal and non-aboriginal areas. Conclusions: With the implementation of NHI and Integrated Delivery System (IDS) played an important role in improving people health, of remote areas death rates in aboriginal areas. Further, the government would enhance the distribution of health resources, and narrow down the gap in accessibility and quality of medical care. That would be helpful to reduce health inequalities.

The main purpose of this study was to explore the current situation of an aboriginal principal’s management in a non-aboriginal school. This research applied the case study method to a non-aboriginal primary school with an aboriginal principal, Ataw Piling. The researcher collected the data by in-depth interview, document analysis and observation. The conclusions of this study were summarized as follows： Ⅰ. Principal Ataw’s school management philosophy： A. inspire students to reach their greatest potential B. “love” to appreciate every child and awaken them to infinite life potential C. “good example” to guide the whole teaching and administrative staff, in order to inspire organized team learning motivation. D. “respect” attitude to communcite with all parents so as to win their trust,support and encouragement. E. “integrate but not the same” to view everything and let things happen is they shound, wish different student’s character integrated into the circumstances and encourage creativity and development. Ⅱ. Principal Ataw’s school management style had three different leadership elements, including using democratic and autocratic leadership styles together, a view to carrying out tasks tp finish, and an emphasis on a deeply caring and tactful leadership style. Ⅲ. Principal Ataw’s school management advantages and challenges： A. the advantages of school management included respection and integration Hakka culture and spirit, basic proficiency requirements were improving and the overall performance was outstanding. B. the challenges facing school management include the prejudice and stereotypes of aboriginals, decling birth rate, making sure to self-appraisal after tasks, software and hardware equipment need to improve, unremarkable executive leadership achievement and success, the distribution of workload is unequal and need to changing by taking turns different workload and passing down generation to generation is not easy to transmit and arise a fault. Ⅳ. Principal Ataw’s school management strategies concerning from school executive leadership, teacher professional development, campus environment planning an school public relations were analyzed and examined. Based on the research conclusions, the author provided some suggestions to the educational administrative authorities and aboriginal principals for improving management in non-aboriginal school as references.

The purpose of this present study was to realized the difference ofmedical care existed between aboriginal and non- aboriginal children.The studyalso examined whether acculturation influenced the utilization of healthsevices. 896 children were included in the study,consisting of 316 aboriginal and580 non-aboriginal children.The survey was carried out among children bornafter 1983 from two communities.Aboriginal group lives in San-Di-Men community, and non- aboriginal group lives in a nearby community , Kao-Shu.The parentsof children filled out a questionnaire corcerning their socioenconomic status, medical belief, self-perception of their children''s health , and theirchildren''s medical behavior, physician utilization in the late month. The non- aboriginal children had 91.54% natinal health insurance coverage ,but the aboriginal children had lower proportion with 79.37%, but the coverageof national health insurance would not make difference on the utilization ofmedical service between the two groups.The non-aboriginal parents might choosemultiple medication including western , traditional , and folk medication fortheir children ,but the aboriginal parents might tend to only choose thewestern medication for their children .The proportion of aboriginal childrenwho preferred seeking medical care from providers practicing outside townshipwas higher than non-aboriginal children (p<0.01) with odds ratio of 10.35.Theaboriginal children also accepted more iatrogenic injection thannon-aboriginal children, when they had the physician consultation. In thestudy, the access to medical care might influence the number of physicianvisits between the two groups. The prevalence rate of children''s illness was 42% and the the mean numberof physician visit in one month per child was 0.81-0.83.There was nodifference between aboriginal and non-aboriginal on the prevalence rateof illness and the mean number of physician visit , but aboriginal childrenhad higher incidence rate of skin diseases and accident.The finding suggestedthat there was a little significant discrepancy between aboriginal andnon-aboriginal children on the medical service utilization and illnesspattern.But it seemed that there was no difference on the related factors ofmedical care utilization between the two groups.The impact of modernmedication on the medical service utilization was that the parentswould choose the proper medication for their c hildern when their children were ill.
