As a longitudinal study, Footprints in Time provides a unique opportunity to follow the development of a group of Indigenous children and to examine the factors that contribute to their outcomes.
Although Footprints in Time was not designed based on a representative sample, it does include a sizeable population of Indigenous children and their families from urban, regional, remote and very remote areas.
The report includes information about what has changed for families since the interviews first started, racism and discrimination, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language at home and at school, school engagement, sleep, diet, exercise, dental health and how teaching Indigenous history and culture is associated with better literacy and numeracy.
