Journalists have recently recounted hospitals strategically closing facilities in Black and Brown neighborhoods, putting liens on patients’ homes and extracting money from patients, even those eligible for free care.

Lecture: Unlocking Cultural Healing: Australian Aboriginal Youth Health, Constitutional Recognition, and Treaty Aspirations
Sponsor: Harvard
Date: April 25
Time: 1:00-2:30 p.m.
Amidst a turbulent history, marked by the arrival of the English in the late 1700s, Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people faced annihilation as introduced diseases and massacres decimated the population to less than 100,000 individuals. Despite this dark past, Aboriginal people today, now number almost 1 million. However, recent disappointment arose from the failure of a 2023 referendum vote to amend the Australian constitution to recognise First Nations people and also establish an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. With one modern treaty and several other regional treaties being negotiated the health of Aboriginal youth emerges as a crucial barometer of intergenerational well-being for both individuals and communities. Globally, indigenous people are promoting culture as the pathway to future health. What does this mean for Australia and how can it be integrated into existing health care frameworks to respond to the needs of Aboriginal youth, their families and communities.
