 Root causes of Aboriginal disadvantage

In response to an article published in The Australian on 23rd May 2006, Indigenous historian, Vicki Grieves wrote a Letter to the Editor which comments on the "root causes" of Aboriginal disadvantage: "A first step to disclose the "root causes" would be to give Aboriginal men the dignity of identifying the factors that contribute to their wellbeing rather than speak for them." (The article which Vicki Grieves is responding to can be found at Keith Windschuttle's website at: www.sydneyline.com ).
