1. Life and Dignity of the Human Person
This is shown through the family members that have lost their loved ones. The people that show the affection of how much they care about there family members. With the affection that these Aboriginal women are showing in this article is significant because it shows that these women are trying to have their loved ones live their lives to the fullest.

2. Participation: The Call to Family and Community
This subtopic is important to the article because it talks about the rights that the people should have that they are certainly not given in this article.
