A walk through Indigenous landscapes

This Saturday Rene and I are attending a one day workshop which is designed to provide an opportunity to walk briefly in the footsteps of Indigenous peoples. The workshop will focus on taking us on a journey to a greater understanding of:
- Barriers that inhibit effective communication with Indigenous peoples
- Three stages of Indigenous evolution - traditional, transitional, contemporary
- Impact of past events and issues on Indigenous Australians today
- Core factors that contribute to their disadvantage
- Diversity of Indigenous Australia people - urban, rural and remote.
I'll report next week on how it all went.
