Perhaps if the Australian government hadn't torn apart the aboriganal families in a forced integration scheme. Mind, thats not your fault and you probably disagree with it too.

If just aboriginee can break from the mould then it shows it is possible genetically. Then the problem must be elsewhere, the life of the integrated aboriginee.

Yeah, it is mainly to do with alcohol abuse, the Australian government has banned alcohol in some aboriginal communities, it should be for all of them where it is a problem. And just to add to the point, there was a story on the ABC about an aboriginal in a small community of aboriginals who went on to uni and was a member of ATSIC (abboriginal and torres strait island commission), when she goes back to her home town they treat her somewhat of an outcast because she strived to get an education which her community couldnt offer her, that is also another problem that has to be addressed.

Eh im going way off topic, no more about abbos from me here.
