Abstract
Tim Rowse argues that Australians thinking about the 'indigenous' is a continuing tussle between two necessary notions of 'social justice'. When we think of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders as 'peoples', we ask: what is a just political settlement between these two peoples and the Australian nation? When we think of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders as 'populations', we ask: how can the social disadvantage of indigenous individuals and households be overcome?
