Abstract
Giftedness has long been recognized as a cultural construct and as such has been subject to occasional interrogation from an epistemological standpoint. Very little has been written, though, on the ontological implications of differing cultural conceptions of gifts and talents. This presentation will report the results of an Australian study that investigated Yolŋu (an Australian Aboriginal group) views of giftedness, talents, and talent development and will endeavor to frame the study’s findings in terms of Yolŋu ontology.
