Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation is an independent, national network of mainly non-Indigenous organisations and individuals working in support of justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.
ANTaR
coordinates a major community education and awareness campaign on native
title and reconciliation.
ANTaR receives no grants from Federal or State governments and is non-party-political.
ANTaR has a close and unique working relationship with Indigenous leaderships. ANTaR's purpose has always been to support Indigenous people speaking for themselves, rather than to speak for Indigenous people.
ANTaR's Indigenous Reference Group, comprising Indigenous leaders and prominent individuals from around Australia, provides ANTaR with direction and feedback.
Central to ANTaR's activities is the Sea of Hands. Over 300,000 Australians have put their signatures on a hand in the Sea of Hands and helped in its installation in locations around Australia.
ANTaR works on many levels to achieve its goals. This includes maintaining close liaison with Indigenous leaderships and communities and assisting them to communicate their aspirations and concerns to the wider community; conducting national education and awareness campaigns on Indigenous affairs issues, and fundraising activities of various kinds.
Much of ANTaR's work is carried out by peak state and territory ANTaRs and by numerous local groups. This includes activities focused at a grass-roots level - local reconciliation initiatives which are carried out in conjunction with local Indigenous groups and other members of the local community. You can join your local ANTaR group through contacts provided here>>.
