About
Cultural Worlds - a Why Warriors Pty Ltd blog
We at Why Warriors are putting together a collection of regularly published short articles to help people work more effectively across the cultural and linguistic barrier that exists between the mainstream social/cultural systems and the cultural worlds of the Aborignal peoples of Australia. We believe that it is, shared ignorance about the other, misunderstandings, and information barriers cause by the cultural divide that limits the effectiveness of policy and programs in and for Australian Indigenous communities. Furthermore, the cultural complexities that must be tackled when working with many Indigenous people in Australia are one of the main causes of the burn-out experienced by staff working with communities. With this in mind, through this blog we will provide a free resource to help you serve Aboriginal Communities better and better prepare yourself to face the difficulties that exist in living and/or working in many parts of Aboriginal Australia. We hope to provide info and experiences about living in communities, on aspects of Indigenous culture, on cross-cultural skills and perhaps even some glimpses of new material being written by the author of Why Warriors lie down and die.
We hope you might visit regularly and please feel free to comment on our articles we would appreciate your feed back.
