Aborigines are a group of people living far from civilized land forming their own culture, language, and society. They are also called as native people. As the word implies, they are the first settlers. Many tribal groups have started to move into the civilized world which results in the death of their distinctive culture. In the name of protection, many people have exploited indigenous people and one such example is the incident of 'The Stolen Generation' in Australia. Incidents like these may have resulted in the hatred of foreigners in the minds of indigenous people and they started attacking non-natives in fear and defence. Literature is a powerful weapon in changing the ideology of the people but to change the ideology of people about the indigenous people can be only done by the people or writers who are aborigine. Art is timeless and ageless so it has the power to preserve the culture. The works of indigenous writers like "Woman to Man" by Judith Wright can help people change their stereotypical vision on Indigenous people and to understand their feelings.

The second half of the nineteenth century was relatively productive in terms of print for Aboriginal communities in Canada. Missionaries and other special interest groups brought out books, newspapers, and newsletters for Aboriginal audiences. Some publications were in Native languages, in alphabetic, syllabic, or hieroglyphic form, and others were designed for instruction in English or French. In some cases, Native people themselves produced these materials. A number of Aboriginal writers emerged in this period, and schoolchildren were sometimes involved in printing at Native residential schools. But while there is considerable evidence that Aboriginal people wanted to learn to read and wrtte, there is less proof that literacy skills were widespread. Missionary and government reports frequently cited evidence of their reading and writing as proof of the success of colonial educational policies, but in reality the schools provided very limited literary education.

On a Thursday afternoon in January, 1987, I stepped out of a Lockheed Electra aircraft into the midwinter dark of a small, Inuit settlement. The following day I toured the community of Holman and the school, and, on Monday, I began teaching kindergarten. I came to the Northwest Territories as a new teacher, well educated and well traveled, ready for a new adventure. My husband and I had planned to spend a year in Canada's north before embarking on another adventure. Instead, we spent the next fourteen years in two small Inuit communities, far north of the Arctic Circle, discovering that we were not as well traveled or as well educated as we had thought. As a teacher and administrator in schools whose populations were 99 per cent Inuit, I was challenged to rethink my own education as I attempted to address the educational needs of my students. Canada's north is a land of challenges-geographic, social, and economic. In 1987, the Northwest Territories (NWT) encompassed one-third of Canada's landmass, stretching over three time zones from Greenland in the East to the Yukon Territory in the west.
