Through this exercise we help you start identifying and considering your level of exposure to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Australians, their lives and contexts, and identify some of your attitudes as well as any myths and preconceptions. In answering, please be honest with yourself. It is your individual experience and interpretation (positive and/or negative) that are important in this exercise.
