On this page you can put your name on a hand in the Sea of Hands and add your voice to the growing number of Australians calling for justice for Indigenous peoples based on respect for their cultures and traditions and the right to determine their own futures. For this to occur there needs to be genuine dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to achieve agreement on the goals and outcomes of reconciliation.
 

To put your name on a hand in the Sea of Hands:

1. Copy the text of the Sea of Hands Statement and your details into an email from you to ANTaR, writing 'SOHSTAT' in the subject line, and.

2. Foward to antar@antar.org.au. Don't forget to fill out the personal details at the bottom of the statement.

SEA OF HANDS STATEMENT
RESPECT, NEGOTIATION AND COEXISTENCE

I believe that genuine Reconciliation can only be achieved by seeking agreement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians about its outcomes. This will require genuine, good faith negotiations between Indigenous Australians and the Federal Government to achieve reforms that recognise and protect the rights of Indigenous Australians, including native title rights recognised in the High Court Mabo and Wik decisions.

Negotiations will strengthen a sense of national unity, reduce conflict and increase certainty - benefits which can only be obtained by respecting the legitimate rights of Indigenous Australians. Negotiation is fundamental to coexistence and the achievement of Reconciliation for our country.
