I came across this article and thought it was perfect because in my other class i was just learning about indigenous people and already learned so much that this was icing on the cake and just interesting to read about them in the present day news. I though this article was very good and informative and really makes you see why the Indigenous people of Austrailia are going through. They do make a very good point the with schooling the Indigenous students are more likely to succeed and be better financially well off. However they can also see it as trying to make them white and lose their rich heritage of being a aborigine. There is also the fact that a lot of these students end up failing out of college because they have no leaders put into place untill now that is of graduates that are of the same type of heritage. These students need someone to talk with and look up too, to make them believe in themselves.
