CHCDlV002 - Indigenous People Being Self Determining

[amm93]

Hello,

I am having some trouble answering the following question..

What does it mean to say that indigenous people need to be self-determining and to have some control over community services and programs? What stages might be implemented to support this?

so far I have written this..

To say indigenous people need to be self-determining means having the same rights as other Australians and being in charge of their own lives in the same way as mainstream Australians.
Previous Australian governments have implemented what they thought to be best for Indigenous people without consulting with them. However initiatives developed on the ground in consultation with indigenous people are more likely to work and promote collaboration and partnerships, which lead to self-determination.

Thanks !
