In order to protect indigenous people from unemployment at poverty, while at the same time providing for the preservation of the environment, the Government has initiated the development of the "National Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Tourism Strategy" to enhance opportunities for "self-determination, self-management, and economic self-sufficiency in tourism for indigenous Australians". Here, the government not only recognizes the economic benefit that the tourism industry could provide for the indigenous people, but it also voices its realization that tourism can help unite its population (indigenous and non-indigenous). "Tourism ventures can heighten interest in and help sustain a community's culture and play an important role in reconciliation by helping non-indigenous people to understand and appreciate indigenous cultures and values" '. One example of this governmental resolution is a program called "Desert Tracks" that is owned by an Aboriginal council and employs a manager and 20 casual staff (all indigenous apart from the manager). Desert Tracks is an educational ecotour that teaches Aboriginal law, culture and lifestyle. ' Although income is not constant or secure, the indigenous people of the program hope that as time goes on, the young people of their community will be trained in how to run the business. As indigenous people are trained to be guides, interpreters, cooks and office staff, the business will eventually thrive by the time their grandchildren need a job. "This business keeps alive our laws and culture, and can provide skilled work for our families" said a worker. In essence, the indigenous people believe that non-indigenous people need to understand that Aboriginal law is in the land. By understanding the land (participating in ecotours or living off the land), the Aboriginals feel that they are keeping the land alive. Hence, the government recognizes that three birds can be killed with the same stone: economic opportunity for Aboriginals, a unification of the non-indigenous and indigenous peoples of Australia, and environmental preservation of the environment.
