What Indigenous leaders say about ANTaR

ANTaR has a close and unique working relationship with, and receives strong support from, Indigenous leaders and prominent individuals. Below are some of their statements about ANTaR.

   Patrick Dodson, Chair, Lingiari Foundation,
former Chair of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation:
"ANTaR and the Sea of Hands are fundamental to the achievement of justice and Reconciliation in this country."

  Professor Lowitja O'Donoghue AC CBE, Former Chair, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Commission and Co-patron, Journey of Healing:
"The work and support of ANTaR have been incredibly important to us as Indigenous Australians. The tremendous public response for the Sea of Hands shows that a great many Australians believe the time is right for serious steps to advance Reconciliation. It is time to follow the example of other countries and sit down and talk through a negotiated settlement with Indigenous communities."

Faith Bandler, Campaigner for Aboriginal rights and key organiser for the 'Yes' case for the 1967 Referendum:
"ANTaR, you are the salt of the earth."
