Absolutely believe that Steemit can be a source of change. Government intervention and paternalism has been a massive failure for Australian Aboriginal people and indigenous cultures globally.

I am big believer that change comes from within. Many aboriginal communities are tackling social and economic issues themselves, many are not. A culture of blame will not solve anyone's problems and a culture of guilt will also be unhelpful. The difficult path of forgiveness is ongoing

Well said mate... there are many factors at play in this complicated issue. I hope to see greater financial liberty for young Indigenous Australians through platforms like Steemit and I am excited by the opportunities that will afford them. Cheers! =)
