Your Question?
I was just wondering if someone could explain a little clearer what the question "Outline the vast differences amonsgst Aboriginal people as well as identified shared experiences" is actually asking for. I just cant seem to get my head around what im actually being asked for.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
So far i am heading in the direction of different languages, cultures, groups. But that is all i have so far.

You're heading in the right direction...

Amongst the aboriginal community there are also differences in clans, language group, cultural practices and historical experiences. So for the first part of this question, it is asking you to identify the differences between the Aboriginal community.

For the second part of the question, "identified shared experiences" it is asking you to identify the experiences that the Aboriginal community share. Even though there may be vast differences there are also shared beliefs such as family structure, land rights, women and children welfare etc.

I am going to attach a document about Supporting Aboriginal Families. It provides a lot of practical and useful strategies and detailed information that can be used. It may also assist you further with this question.
