Acculturation: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nutrition

Abstract: The health status of Australia's indigenous people remains the worst of any subgroup within the population, and there is little evidence of any significant improvement over the past two decades, a situation unprecedented on a world scale. Compared with non-indigenous Australians, adult life expectancy is reduced by 15-20 years, with twice the rates of mortality from heart disease, 17 times the death rate from diabetes and 10 times the deaths from pneumonia. Despite improvements in perinatal mortality, they con… Show more

“…In Australia, Indigenous Australians were not recognised as citizens in their own land until the 1967 referendum; this was the first official document and political movement that provided the bona fide right to vote (Dudgeon, Wright et al, 2014;Mercer, 2003;Shannon, 2002). However, Indigenous peoples are still not recognised as such in the country's Constitution despite attempts to have the situation addressed.…”

“…At the collective level, it is the loss of cultural identity, language, the sacred ruwi (land), traditions, values, familial ties as well as communal cohesion. At the individual level, experiences of acculturative stress, identity confusion, racist incidents, poor health, decreased wellbeing, and over representation in the criminal justice system are all reported (see for example, Baxter, Kingi, Tapsell, Durie, & McGee, 2006;Berry, 1970;Bodkin-Andrews, Ha, Craven, & Yeung, 2010;Cawte, Biancki, & Kiloh, 1968;Dudgeon, Wright et al, 2014;Gracey, 2000;Kvernmo, 2006;O'dea, Patel, Kubisch, Hopper, & Traiandes, 1993;Parker & Milroy, 2014;Shannon, 2002;Snowball & Weatherburn, 2006). As Berry (1992;2013) proposes, acculturation, when occurring involuntarily and in an unsupportive environment, is unlikely to result in positive outcomes.…”
