What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Name 3 historical issues in relation to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and why is it important to consider this when working towards cultural competency.
There are many historical issues in relation to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. Three of these historical issues are:
• Stolen generation
• Invasion and colonisation
• White Australia Policy
We need to consider these historical issues when working towards cultural competency to allow us to gain more insight, understanding, empathy and respect towards aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. When we are able to identify and acknowledge historical issues it allows us to better understand and develop new skills and strategies toward creating a harmonious future by creating equitable and respectful relationships and environments.
Considering historical issues opens us up to how these issues have affected modern day Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and allows us to have an understanding of issues they are faced with and the empathy to respond sensitively to their needs and any issues they may have.
Description and Message:
I noticed when answering this question I kept going off track from 'why is it important to consider this when working towards cultural competency' and just want to make sure I did in fact answer what has been asked :/

Re: CHCECE001 - Historical Issues & Importance Of Cultural Competency
There are many historical issues in relation to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. Three of these historical issues are:
• Stolen generation
• Invasion and colonisation
• White Australia Policy
We need to consider these historical issues when working towards cultural competency to allow us to develop our knowledge, attitudes and skills required to be culturally competent.
By understanding, acknowledging and considering these historical issues when working towards cultural competency we gain the empathy and respect to be able to communicate in a culturally sensitive and appropriate way taking into consideration any lasting effects from these histories. This then allows us to form respectful and trusting relationships which are culturally sensitive and appropriate.
If historical issues aren’t considered when working towards cultural competency we could unintentionally, due to a lack of knowledge, empathy and understanding, cause more resentment by our attitudes and behaviors to add to the grief already endured by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Thanks for that link I think it steered me more in the right direction... do you think this is more relevant?
