Introduction
Aboriginal people are one of the discrete parts of the indigenous population of Australia. They comprise of various discrete and precise cultural groups, where each group have its own cultural, linguistic as well as environmental lineage. Different characteristics have been identified in Australian indigenous people that make them similar to other indigenous population. The indigenous population believes in an extended kinship belief system and follows the central member of the family (Kelaher et al., 2019).
They are highly connected to their land and the ecology as well as to their past and cultures as it assists them with self-identity. Inhabitants of indigenous population usually identify themselves from their origin or the country; they belong to, as this provides them with the indication of their origin, their home country as well as most importantly, of who they are, personally. 
Aboriginals of Australia
Aboriginal people are extremely connected to the ecology, land, their custom and culture, spiritual and physical well-being, their identities as well as their livelihoods. Aboriginal people follow a very complex and diversified culture along with the Torres Strait Islanders. Torres Strait Islanders are another population of indigenous communities in Australia. The cultures followed by the indigenous population of Australia are believed to be of at least 50,000 years old.
Some researchers also believe that culture and customs of aboriginals might be even older to 65,000 years in history (Department of Health, 2013). It is believed that the ability of the efficiently adapting to various changes such as ecological or community level changes have helped the age-old cultures of Aboriginals to sustain so long in such an effective manner. Aboriginals have successfully maintained their cultures and customs as well as beliefs flourishing and buoyant by passing on their rituals, traditions knowledge, performances and art from one generation to other generation.
They have also maintained their cultural heritage by protecting their sacred objects, crucial sites, significant cultural materials related to their origin, as well as by teaching the younger generation and speaking their native language. The Aboriginals of Australia have characteristic features of giving significant importance to relationship and kinship within members of the family as well as other members and delegates of the aboriginal community. The indigenous community believes in teaching the younger generation about their culture and beliefs by incorporating them in observation, participation in various activities with the older generations of the community. 
Effect of Culture on the Health of Aboriginal Population 
Aboriginal population of Australia has encountered significant displacement and shift in various aspects of their lives, which are related directly or indirectly, to their health and well-being since the history of colonial invasion. Majority of the displacements and disadvantages, which lead to health problems are direct aftermath of discrimination, racism as well as due to poverty (Durey, McAullay, Gibson & Slack-Smith, 2016).
Some other significant fundamental determinants of sickness and issues in health of aboriginals of Australia are detachment from the cultural aspect and identity, discontinuity with the resources that connect the people with their cultural roots such as family, land, culture, traditions and linguistic aspects.
The ecology surrounding the population has deep value to the aboriginal community of Australia. The good health and well-being of aboriginal are significantly connected with their bond with the land. Land serves as a crucial part of the culture of aboriginal people. The population believes the land, organisms, plants, water and minerals, as a part of their community and a source of the life. The ecology serves as a central part of the culture for the Australian aboriginal community.
Aboriginal groups of Australia also face high amount of disparity in income, which affects the health and well-being of the population. The aboriginals are significantly vulnerable to poverty, due to the disadvantages in income in the society. The inhabitants of the indigenous population are represented in an unfairly as well as unbalanced manner in the society. As an outcome of these unbalanced and unfair divisions,
