Abstract

This chapter initially examines the concepts of physical and mental health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over the vast majority of the last 40,000 years or so. The devastating consequences for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of the European colonisation of Australia are then described. The chapter concludes with some innovative thinking from Australia and overseas that may assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to regain the ‘health’ that has been so significantly lost.
