Hiya everyone,

Try a Trade is helping to break to cycle of poverty in Western Australian Aboriginal communities. It's a fantastic chance for Aussie Aboriginal teens to consider a trade - something to brighten their futures. You can make a difference to the lives of Indigenous families and friends - spread the news! You can read more from GenerationOne below:

The aim of the Try-A-Trade events is to encourage school age and working age job-seekers from all backgrounds to consider a trade as a way to improve their own lives - and help break the cycle in their communities. The program's job seekers are matched with real mentors and role models, helping them seek new career pathways.
Over the past month, the Try-a-Trade program has been a huge success, visiting five different locations across the NW Kimberley and promoting career pathways in industries experiencing skill shortages. Several young Indigenous school leaders were flagged for future traineeships and careers with organisations such as Rio Tinto and Brolga Developments. Check out GenerationOne's upcoming events.
Even better - you can join! Visit, and learn more here:

*The Mobile Try-a-Trade will be visiting Pilbara from September 6 through 10. If you're in the area or know someone that is, check out the events here:**http://generationone.org.au/whats-on*
email GenerationOne at info@generationone.org.au if you would like them to attend or promote one of your events.

Hello everyone,

Read this. http://community.livejournal.com/australian_left/211061.html

Five white men verbally abuse and harrass several Aboriginal people, and terrorised them with a gun. Finally, they beat Ryder (an Aboriginal man) to death. They drove off without checking to see if their victim was still alive. Justice Martin failed in his duty to interpret these facts. He concluded that this ‘crime is toward the lower end of the scale of seriousness for crimes of manslaughter’. Not enough violence was inflicted, and the defendants supposedly could not have foreseen a serious risk of death from their violent attack.

You can also contact Northern Territory newspapers about this too:

Thank you so much if you choose to help.

Learning about new cultures from around the world is priceless. We have a better chance of treating one another with sensitivity and respect if we learn about each other. Knowing about different cultures can also help reduce misunderstandings and fear. It can also help us all build new friendships. Plus, we can see things in different ways too, through discovering new cultures. When you learn about cultures, you are learning about people. Not just their language, but their lives, history, passions, struggles and triumphs. This is what I love most about learning about different cultures.

Learn about the way people from different cultures think through doing these things. Read their books. Watch their movies and TV shows. But the best way to learn about different cultures is to talk to people from these cultures. Visit them. See them. See things from their point of view. So don't just rely on info by someone who is not from the culture they're discussing. Talk to someone from that culture.

Hi there all,

Learn about the milestones and setbacks made on human rights of indigenous peoples around the world here:

The information is readable and a must for anyone.

http://australian-indigenous-peoples.suite101.com/article.cfm/a_change_of_date_for_australia_day Why the date of Australia should be changed: so that all Australians are included and respected. A day of mourning should not be a day for celebration.

http://australian-indigenous-peoples.suite101.com/article.cfm/historic_maori_land_compensation_agreement - a historic land compensation agreement for the Maori people. Because of this agreement, transfers 176,000 hectares of forestland worth $319NZ million will return to its rightful owners and be placed into Maori hands.

http://aboriginalrights.suite101.com/article.cfm/bad_living_conditions_for_aboriginals Appalling living conditions are still rife for Aboriginal people around the world (There are still heartbreakingly high death rates for Aboriginal infants compared to non Aboriginal infants worldwide. This is just plain wrong).
