The Older Women's Network (OWN) is a community based self-help organisation that promotes the rights, dignity and wellbeing of older women. The OWN Aboriginal Support Circle began in 1994. They meet with Aboriginal women in order to study Aboriginal history, customs and culture with a view to extending this knowledge to family and friends so that a better appreciation of Australian indigenous people will be gained, leading to greater respect and acknowledgement of their unique and valuable contribution to Australia. In this way they try to change entrenched and bigoted attitudes among non-indigenous Australians, particularly older people, and to cultivate a better relationship and friendship with older Aboriginal women.
