Name 3 historical issues in relation to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and why is it important to consider this when working towards cultural competency.
There are many historical issues in relation to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. Three of these historical issues are:
• Stolen generation
• Invasion and colonisation
• White Australia Policy
We need to consider these historical issues when working towards cultural competency to allow us to gain more insight, understanding, empathy and respect towards aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. When we are able to identify and acknowledge historical issues it allows us to better understand and develop new skills and strategies toward creating a harmonious future by creating equitable and respectful relationships and environments.
Considering historical issues opens us up to how these issues have affected modern day Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and allows us to have an understanding of issues they are faced with and the empathy to respond sensitively to their needs and any issues they may have.
