Topic:
Aboriginal health is defined as "not just the physical well-being of an individual but the social, emotional and cultural well-being of the whole Community in which each individual is able to achieve their full potential as a human being, thereby bringing about the total well-being of their Community. It is a whole-of-life view and includes the cyclical concept of life-death-life." (National Aboriginal Health Strategy, 1989).
In relation to the above definition of health, articulate how cultural identity influences the health equity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
