The applicability of research and practice on nation rebuilding in North American Indigenous communities to Australian Indigenous communities.

土著人民是澳大利亚处境最不利的群体，几乎所有土著处境不利的指标都有很大的差距。与一些指标相比，这种差距正在扩大，这是一个国家关注的问题。澳大利亚和北美的研究在确定土著社区的治理能力与可持续经济发展和社会成果之间的联系方面非常一致。该项目将以现有研究为基础，深入了解为土著社区制定文化合法框架以实现其经济、社会和文化愿望的进程、实际治理工具和最佳做法模式。

Indigenous people are the most disadvantaged group in Australia with significant disparity in almost all indicators of Indigenous disadvantage. Such disparity, which is widening in relation to some indicators, is a matter of national concern. Australian and North American research is remarkably consistent in identifying the connection between the governance capacity of Indigenous communities and sustained economic development and social outcomes. This project will build on existing research to provide insight into processes, practical governance tools and best practice models to develop culturally legitimate frameworks for Indigenous communities for achievement of their economic, social and cultural aspirations.
