Each year National Reconciliation Week celebrates the rich culture and history of the first Australians. It’s the ideal time for all of us to join the reconciliation conversation and to think about how we can help turn around the disadvantage experienced by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2008 is: Reconciliation: it’s all our story.
It’s a fitting theme especially in light of the new Australian government’s intention to make a formal apology to members of the Stolen Generations. Reconciliation is indeed all our story and we will all be richer for acknowledging the past and embracing the future.
