The Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP) said that it is collaborating with the Ministry of Education to

incorporate the 10 most important events in Aboriginal history into the 12-year National Education Program to give the younger generation an insight into these events from the perspective of Aborigines.

The council made the comments at a news conference on Wednesday to launch a 10-book series focused on historic events viewed through the eyes of Aborigines.

Experts and academics started work on the series in 2002, council Minister Icyang Parod said in a speech.
