Synopsis
On average, Indigenous people’s life expectancy is 20 years less in males and 17 less years in females than the national average. Aboriginal health is a complex issue and these statistics are impacted on by a history of intergenerational trauma. This story gives voice to those who are addressing these issues and working to close the gap in life expectancy. A CARING CULTURE takes a holistic approach to the question of why Indigenous people die younger and attempts to give answers as to how they can live longer. From the Message Stick series.
