Hypothesis 5.2 (p. 51)

The hypothesis that identials associated with Aboriginal
identity would have negative characteristics was not supported.

The object of the study* was to map the ’world* of meaning
in which Aborigines are situated, to contribute to their under-
standing of this world, so that the Aboriginal people might
intervene in this reality in order to construct a world within
which an identity that is Aboriginal may be located.

The conclusions to be drawn from the research findings
(Chapter XXVII) will therefore be highly selective and oriented
towards providing a basis for intervention in the Aboriginal
’world* to change it.

The research findings demonstrated, using Strelley community
as an example, that man is not determined by society, but is
constrained by society.                                        ∙

Man can interact with the world into which he is bom and
change it.

The analysis of the ’world’ of Strelley showed clearly that
man has interacted with a given world and changed it in order to construct
a positive Aboriginal identity, based in a coherent world view
that takes from white society what it needs, while conserving
the traditions of the Law.

The inference is that it is possible for urban Aborigines,
also, to construct a ’world’ within which they can find an
Aboriginal identity.
