Paper long abstract:
Remote Aboriginal communities in Australia have not been exempt from the rapid and radical changes that have been characteristic of our world over the last 50 years, if not longer. While much of this change has resulted in improved health and wellbeing for many populations, for others the consequences have been mixed. This paper looks at the effects these changes have brought for Aboriginal youth over a span of thirty years in the southeast Arnhem Land community of Numbulwar. It focuses in particular on the stresses of intergenerational relationships and their consequences for individual and community wellbeing.
