Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander

Do you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person?

To be considered Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, you must:

1. Be of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent,
2. Consider yourself to be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and,
3. Be accepted as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander by the community in which you live or have lived.

Such a question in a new job application reminds me of the adventurous stories of Aboriginals, such as Pemulwuy, giving a less than warm welcome to the ships of the British Navy that were led to Australia by Captain J. Cook.
