The non-Aboriginal view of Aborigines also supported-,that of

Aborigines. Both Aborigines and non-Aborigines saw Aboriginal
W

households as not female dominated. This perception may reflect
ft

the fact that those Aborigines who persevere at school have stable
homes - possibly a large proportion having a white male figureɪ.

A scanning of Aboriginal writings does not reveal any mention of

the presence of white males in Aboriginal households.

Nevertheless, as Gale and Wundersitz’findings shov⅛ this is
a reality which must also influence the stereotypes which Aboriginal
people themselves hold about their values.

Non-Aborigines stereotype Australians as having fathers who make

the rules.
