I think it's fairly well acknowledged, but there is no 'dealt with' that fits into any kind of reality I'm familiar with.
My purely observational understanding is that there are fundamental incompatibilities between aboriginal and 'western/British' culture. "Ownership" of land as probably the primary example. I don't know how that gets 'dealt with'.
- lokar 26d agoI don’t know the discussion in Australia, but in Alaska (also having an indigenous population with land ownership) they found solutions. Regional “native corporations” were given large amounts of valuable land, natives were given preferential resource rights (fishing, etc). Not everything is perfect (far from it), but a lot has been done.
- marcus_holmes 26d agoYeah, other ex-British colonies with similar problems are doing great work in reconciling their differences. We could learn from them.
- lokar 25d agoI think in Alaska it helps that the natives have enough votes to be politically relevant.
