Thanks for the reply David

Ive been to a reserve with one family doctor who was to do an afternoon out-reach clinic. We were flown in via helicopter and the doctor and pilot were very much relieved that they were allowed to land - apparently it is very common for the Aboriginal leader of the reserve, if he feels he has been personally disresepected or hard done by in any way, to merely send the physician home. 

Its a shame as they are stuck in a downward spiral, as living on the reserve provides such economic benefit to the natives, why move elsewhere? By being entriched in the reserves gradual acculturation cannot happen.
