The purpose of this paper is to discuss how sport has come to co-exist with Aboriginal culture, and the changes that have been forthcoming from this union over the years. To assist in collating some data on this subject, a survey was conducted with a number of teachers (12) in the ‘Lands’ schools [see Appendix] and the results were compared to what little literature was available on this particular topic.
