Consistent with the methods of participatory research, we worked closely with the Spence Neighbourhood Association (SNA), successfully seeking their permission to conduct the research and their advice about the project, and circulating a next-to-final draft of the paper to SNA staff and Board members for their comments, most of which were incorporated in the final draft. [...] A community development approach that builds ways to celebrate the urban expression of Aboriginal cultures will promote the involvement of Aboriginal people, and the increased pride and self-esteem that comes with involvement in their cultures will build the foundation upon which Aboriginal people will be better able to engage with the dominant culture on the basis of mutual respect.

Until recently, Aboriginal people have been subjected to mainly top-down development, which has proven damaging to communities. Mia Mia Aboriginal Community Development offers an alternative to such approaches, promoting cultural security in order to empower Aboriginal people to strengthen their own communities. The authors take a multidisciplinary approach to the topics of Aboriginal community development, Aboriginal history, cultural security and community studies. This book includes chapters examining historical and contemporary Aboriginal conceptions of community development, and the effects of post-structuralism, post-modernism, globalisation and digital technology. As well as comprehensive analysis of community development in Aboriginal communities, it presents practical strategies and tools for improvement. Each chapter includes practical case studies and review exercises, encouraging active learning and reflection. A valuable resource for tertiary education students, this book features contributions from some of Australia's most eminent Aboriginal scholars, Elders and Aboriginal community members alongside contributions from community development practitioners.

"This paper focuses on urban Aboriginal community development. We draw upon the experiences of 26 Aboriginal people who have been and are active in various forms of community development in Winnipeg's inner city. The study shows how Aboriginal people have been constructed as the 'other' in Canadian society. The process of colonization caused great damage to Aboriginal people. Over and over the 26 Aboriginal people with whom we spoke referred to the process of colonization as being at the root of Aboriginal people's problems. In many cases their personal testimonies were painful and moving.
