What if Australia's approach to Indigenous disadvantage offers neither solutions nor value for money? This thought-provoking talk challenges current policies and suggests ways we, as individuals, in business and as a nation, can do better.

Kia is passionate about solving the economic disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities in Australia. She helps co-create locally relevant solutions to complex business and social challenges. In doing this, she connects people from corporate, government, industry and community circles.

Kia is a Gija woman from Warmun Community (Turkey Creek) in the East Kimberley of Western Australia. Her traditional Aboriginal name is Wadjbarreyal and her skin name is Nangala.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    “Do we want to lead and impact on our children based on our personal biases, or let them to celebrate knowing the wonderful benefits of diversity?”

    All around the world, where imperial countries have been built, the goal is to eliminate any land claim, or prior right to any kind of special status indigenous claim. This is done by slowly and unrelentingly trying to erode the patience of the indigenous communities, while boring the non-indigenous communities into ignorance; and then just waiting for it all to go away. Sad, but true. I agree we have to work together. and I agree that, until the money and decision making and exisiting reserve lands, are legally, in the hands of indigenous people, that nothing will ever change. Power to the people is a true and loaded term.

    Although she didn't seem to give any concrete solutions to the issue, after hearing her last statement, and reading the comments to this video...I think I can see a big part of the problem.
  • @martinmckowen1588
    I see too many dominant culture approaches to address Indigenous concerns rather than approaches to reinforce community Law
  • @bart7001
    The problem of generalisation is that you can't see the diversity within the group. What makes the one succesful and the other not ? "Indigenous disadvantage" or "indigenous responsibility" ?
  • @christophercolumbus9172
    Why do i get a feeling that she presented all of these information a little bit emotionally. It is so interesting to get to know all of these but sad how bad the situation is for aboriginal people in Australia.

    draw parallels with African States. Consult with Prof PLO Lummamba, Ambassodor Aricana.

    She illustrates the biggest hurdle in the healing and progress of indigenous people. So many words and nothing was said. Ask her what the issue is and she will say something and nothing.

    "Aboriginals need to get a job" This is a quote from an Aboriginal couple that are hard working and it was directed to their own family members
