Learn about Aboriginal Kinship systems
This online learning module covers the systems of social organisation that traditionally govern Aboriginal societies and explains this significant cultural difference.
This module will help you to gain a better understanding of:
- Aboriginal Kinship systems and how they operate
- Aboriginal social structures and how these are different to Western societies
- potential conflict in working with people from differing cultural backgrounds
- how cultural difference impacts upon Aboriginal people in the social systems which operate in Australia (through education, criminal justice systems and the legal system more broadly, etc.)
Each module section includes a video, a series of related questions and a list of useful resources to help you learn more about the Kinship system.
