The solution to indigenous disadvantage | Kia Dowell | TEDxPerth

What if Australia's approach to Indigenous disadvantage offers neither solutions nor value for money? This thought-provoking talk challenges current policies and suggests ways we, as individuals, in business and as a nation, can do better.

Kia is passionate about solving the economic disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities in Australia. She helps co-create locally relevant solutions to complex business and social challenges. In doing this, she connects people from corporate, government, industry and community circles.

Kia is a Gija woman from Warmun Community (Turkey Creek) in the East Kimberley of Western Australia. Her traditional Aboriginal name is Wadjbarreyal and her skin name is Nangala.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
