| Annotation | This Tjilpi Pampa Tjutaku (all the old men's and women's) Project has been an Aboriginal-controlled research project from the outset, and has arisen from general concerns of members of the Women's Council that senior men and women were too often being sent away to hospitals and nursing homes, and too often dying away from family and country. An increased awareness at national (and international) level of Aboriginal demands for the right to structure their present and determine their future according to their needs and culture has made this into a priority issue. The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, established in 1987, drew attention in Australia to the wide-ranging effects on Aboriginal people and cultures of a history of dispossession. Governments have revised many policies in the light of the Royal Commission's recommendations. (RH). |
