Notes:	The article addresses the misinterpretation and redefinition that Aboriginality and gender roles have undergone, across temporal and geographical boundaries. The authors’ personal insights highlight the main issues for Aboriginal men and women. Family violence is discussed from the perspective of Indigenous men. Programmes designed to assist men in developing healthy behaviour and improving their position as spouses, fathers and members of the community are cited. In particular, the article discusses some of the principal aspects of the Koori MEND Group in NSW and the Yarrabah Men’s Health Group in Queensland. Questions of colonisation and the health status of Indigenous men and male youth are also included.
