A second possibility reflecting the arguments propounded
for independent schools, lies in providing enclaves for Aboriginal
students within established schools. An arrangement of this kind
provides almost all the advantages offered by an independent
school,with the exception of the degree of autonomy possible
for Aboriginal people in formulating policy.

The enclave system provides a solution that may be more

immediately introduced,and will more immediately show forth
results which can be incorporated into further theorizing.

27.5 Summary

It is concluded that different Aboriginal groups conceptualize
Aboriginal identity differently.

For some, Aboriginal identity consists of living in a white
world, and acknowledging Aboriginal ancestry with pride.

For other⅞ Aboriginal identity is an identity alternative to
that of white society; it is an identity that must be constructed.

It is concluded that one locus appropriate for the construction
and perpetuation of a group identity, within which Aboriginal
identity may be achieved,is the school.

27.6 Further research and action

Further research touching on concerns of Aboriginal people
is almost without end. So little has been done in this field;
there is so much to be done.

The present research project was seen as providing a basis
for intervention. A discussion of further areas for research
will therefore be limited to areas within the compass of this
particular research worker, and limited to the conclusions reached,
rather than the overall research findings which generate further
research.
