Colonisation – It’s bad for your health: The context of Aboriginal health

Colonisation – It’s bad for your health: The context of Aboriginal health is an article published in Contemporary Nurse written by Juanita Sherwood. The article acknowledges the relationship between health status and individuals or collectives with focus on Indigenous Health and provides a timeline of specific historical and political events, contributing to current social health determinants. It explores how colonisation has caused Australians including Indigenous Australians, to have a lack of knowledge in historical accounts which has effected the way health service providers have delivered health to Indigenous People.
