This project will illustrate the complex nature and history of Sydney's Indigenous population. Striking benefits will flow from tracing the historical relationships between the non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples of the region, particularly in mutual understanding.
Reconciliation cannot take place without a full understanding of how the first inhabitants and the newcomers have interacted for more than 200 years. Mutual comprehension will help to build healthy, productive and fulfilling Aboriginal lives. A comprehending and cohesive Australia will be all the stronger to tackle complex social issues within and outside our national borders.
