Aboriginal and torres strait islander

Q. What aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture are diverse?


Ans. You will need to respect the diversity of culture, skin and language groups, family structures, art and religion in Indigenous cultures, when delivering services to them. This may mean adapting what you offer and how you behave to meet their needs and preferences.
You will need to provide culturally appropriate practices; these may include:
 Strategies for interacting with family members of different genders.
 Allowances made for cultural obligations.
One of the first things you must realise is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are not a homogenous group – they are diverse and culturally different within themselves and have unique customs, cultural beliefs and ceremonies.
Depending on the impact of European colonisation, there will have been varying amounts of loss of culture. For the devout, traditional values and customs guide their everyday living; for those of mixed descent or who have integrated into mainstream society, their influences will feature all or some aspects of both cultures.

Please help me, if iam right with this answer or not?

Yes you're on the right track with your response! However it's not asking about how you will implement it, it's just asking what areas are diverse... Such as language age, art, communities, etc.
