On Statements 20 and 28, more non-Aborigines than Aborigines
rejected the notion of ending up on the dole and giving up.
Nevertheless,there was a high level of rejection by both groups.

The hypothesis of Aborigines seeing themselves as 'giving up'
readily was not supported.

There was little difference between the two groups in terms
of expression of withdrawal. In fact, both groups showed majority
support for positive views.

24.4 Summary

The Aboriginal responses showed the greatest strength in location
within the family. They disagreed
strongly that they felt ashamed
of their family, that they wished they had different parents. On both
these questions, the response was markedly stronger than that
of the non-Aboriginal students.

Aboriginal students believed that they . had lots of relatives
who could help them; they claimed to have lots of family get-togethers.
The
strength of this agreement was less than on questions relating
to their family (42.2 per cent

agreed
strongly
that they had relations they could count on, and 13.5 per cent
who
agreed strongly that they had lots of family get-togethers).

It would appear to be the nuclear family, rather than the
extended family, that is the focus for allegiance and support.

This interpretation is borne out by the fact that 45.1 per cent
of Aboriginal people agreed that'it is better to move out by yourself'.

On the question of location in society and in the school (Table 32)
responses were positive, but less positive than the non-Aboriginal
response.

There was less sense of security in the location in mainstream
society, than in the home (Table 32). While the responses did'not
