The research described in this paper explores the experiences of both students and teachers in the Aboriginal and Islander Teacher Education Program (AITEP) that operated during the late 1970s to early 1990s in Townsville, Australia. Using a phenomenological research this study explores the perceptions of the program and its influence based upon the experiences of those who participated in it, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous and to identify what they believe were elements that supported them to success. Preliminary findings from the study are presented. Implications of these experiences to current considerations in pre-service Indigenous teacher education are also presented.
