Education is a pathway to opportunity, but for too long, Indigenous students in Australia have faced barriers to success. While challenges remain, positive change is happening. In this episode we’ll hear from Indigenous education experts and students about what’s working, why cultural education matters and how Indigenous and Western knowledge can come together to benefit all students. - Edukesen hemi wan rod blo tekem janis, be blong longtaem tumas, Indijenis studen lo Ostrelia i bin fesem ol samting blo blokem rod blo sakses.

The representation of Indigenous Australians in media has historically been shaped by stereotypes and exclusion, but this is gradually changing. Indigenous platforms like National Indigenous Television (NITV) and social media are breaking barriers, empowering First Nations voices, and fostering a more inclusive understanding of Australia’s diverse cultural identity. Learning about these changes offers valuable insight into the country’s true history, its ongoing journey toward equity, and the rich cultures that form the foundation of modern Australia. Understanding Indigenous perspectives is also an important step toward respectful connection and shared belonging. - Stori blo ol Indijenis pipol long Ostrelia long media i bin luk olsem wan blo steriotaep mo blong stopem olgeta blong wok lem, be hemia i save jenj naoia.

Australia has a dark chapter of history that many are still learning about. Following European settlement, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were removed from their families and forced into non-Indigenous society. The trauma and abuse they experienced left deep scars, and the pain still echoes through the generations. But communities are creating positive change. Today these people are recognised as survivors of the Stolen Generations. - Ostrelia i kat wan saed blo histori we i nogud mo plante pipol i no save ol samting blong lem yet.

Australia has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. On average, Australians live to see their 83rd birthday. But for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, life expectancy is about eight years less. Closing the Gap is a national agreement designed to change that. By improving the health and wellbeing of First Nations, they can enjoy the same quality of life and opportunities as non-Indigenous Australians. - Ostrelia i kat wan laef ekspektansi we i hae bitim plante nara kantri araon lo wol.
