“…Interestingly, hunting seemed to play the most important role in Tasmania (which never had dingoes) once European dogs were introduced (Jones 1970), and where it was found of significance elsewhere it was with dogs rather than dingoes (e.g. Hamilton 1972;White 1972but see Hayden 1975.…”

“…Understanding the place of dogs in Aboriginal society is required for effective dog health education. This is not a simple task, as their relationship to dogs is highly complex and contested . Early anthropological observations assigned dingoes and dogs to an economic role in pre‐contact Aboriginal society; in effect dingoes were useful hunters able to track animals and attack them, making hunting an easier task .…”

“…In the 1970s, anthropologists doing field work mainly in desert regions engaged in a series of academic debates for and against the idea of dingoes’ economic value . Two opposing sets of ideas were put forward: one that assigned to dingoes and dogs an economic role as effective hunters and the other that argued dingoes were ineffective hunters primarily because they made too much noise and invariably ate the prey before the hunter arrived on the scene . Hamilton argued that given that mature dingoes returned to the bush, their primary purpose was as an outlet for affection for children and old people, particularly childless women .…”

Background Conducting effective and culturally sensitive dog health education programs in Aboriginal communities requires an understanding of appropriate adult education and community development principles. Finding relevant material can be difficult, given that many of the available resources are in the ‘grey literature’. Aims and objectives To critically review publications addressing the principles governing dog health education in remote Aboriginal communities. Methods A critical review was performed by searching English language peer‐reviewed and grey literature databases for papers published between 2010 and 2018. Besides a small number of peer‐reviewed papers, there was an extensive list of reports, educational material, guidelines and posters and pamphlets that illustrated the principles. Only a small amount of this grey literature was selected for the review. Selection was based on the publication illustrating a specific principle of dog health education. The material was organised around educational themes highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of these publications. Results Findings suggested that although relevant literature is scattered, there are clear processes for conducting culturally appropriate and effective dog health programs in Australian Indigenous communities. Two major principles were identified: acknowledging the effect on education of the ambiguity around the status of dogs in Aboriginal communities, and embedding programs within a social determinant of health framework or community development approach. These two principles provide guidance on negotiating educational sessions, the preparation of culturally appropriate materials, teaching sessions and what learning styles to foster and the use of a health promotion approach. Conclusions Some contradictions exist within the literature, particularly around the use of images, and consistent with the first principle, a hesitancy to engage with Aboriginal people around the issue of dog health.
