To understand Aboriginal people, you have to know the truth about the history of Australia. Colonisation has had a disastrous impact on the lives of Indigenous people; it has created complex and cumulative forms of traumatic stress that my be articulated as physical, emotional and spiritual distress; misuse of alcohol and other drugs; and violent behaviour arising from rage that is directed towards the self and other close family members. With the breakdown of cultural lore, behaviours that were previously functional in conflict resolution processes have become unstructured and damaging when used under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Indigenous communities are suffering from 'gross stress', a form of post traumatic stress disorder in which individuals express their loss and bewilderment as emotional and behavioral disorders. A majority of Aboriginal People are kind, sharing and caring people who have strong work ethics and do not drink at all.
