knowledges academics, to issues to do with the outcomes of the incorporation of Western psychological practice into <strong>Aboriginal</strong> healing practices and the desirability of developing and maintaining intrinsically <strong>Aboriginal</strong> ways of dealing with dis-ease. The voices of the people in local <strong>Aboriginal</strong> groups, themselves, need to be privileged in social and emotional wellbeing research; it is important to develop community development approaches to ascertain what they see their needs as being and how they envisage that they would best be addressed. Indigenous knowledges focus group methodology is recommended as an important culturally appropriate approach that transcends ineffective community consultations by grounding the knowledges of <strong>Aboriginal</strong> groups into real research outcomes (Grieves 2006a:9–12). Important, too, is the incorporation of historical research to assist in understanding family, local and regional histories and ethnohistories for the benefit of <strong>Aboriginal</strong> groups. Historians and anthropologists can also assist in developing understandings of the endurance of <strong>Aboriginal</strong> <strong>Spirituality</strong> and cultural ways of being and doing that can be recognised, maintained and promulgated within existing <strong>Aboriginal</strong> populations. However, the most important focus and prescriptions for approaches to these issues will come from the <strong>Aboriginal</strong> people themselves. 52 Cooperative Research Centre for <strong>Aboriginal</strong> Health • Discussion Paper Series: No. 9 <strong>Aboriginal</strong> <strong>Spirituality</strong>: <strong>Aboriginal</strong> Philosophy The Basis of <strong>Aboriginal</strong> Social and Emotional Wellbeing
