Education is the transmission of culture through experience, observation, and reflection by creating and acquiring knowledge through research and innovation according to values and mores. Research design from research issues to reporting- social variables, data, information, a unit of analysis, and interviewing people of divergent backgrounds should be under a formal and ethical structure. Social science should learn several scholarly fields from the natural and physical sciences, and the humanities as well as strengthen the schools for societal benefits. The last twenty years has seen great changes in the field of Aboriginal health research. Research based on collaboration with the Aboriginal community and its organisations is now best practice. This is the great challenge for the future of Aboriginal health research - making sure that public policy is based on sound evidence, and on what we already know will lead to healthier, happier communities.
