<P><FONT size=2>Dear Colleagues<BR><BR>I am forwarding for your information this resource from Reconciliation<BR>Australia (see below) about the long awaited Apology by the Australian<BR>Government to the Stolen Generations of Indigenous Australians. We look<BR>forward to February 13.<BR><BR>Please forward to any of your networks.<BR><BR>Thank you<BR><BR>Anne Sibbel.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Reconciliation Australia has been monitoring the media and is concerned that<BR>there are many Australians who are confused or concerned about the proposed<BR>apology. There is a lot of misinformation and ignorance about it and we are<BR>keen to get the facts out more broadly but given that the apology is likely<BR>to happen in early February we don't have time to get out to the general<BR>public so we are asking our friends for help.<BR><BR><BR><BR>It's important that non-Indigenous Australians see the apology as part of a<BR>nation building process and something that we will all benefit from.<BR><BR><BR><BR>The resources on the Apology can be found on the www.reconcile.org.au<BR><<A href="http://www.reconcile.org.au/">http://www.reconcile.org.au/</A>> website and also linked from the RA website,<BR>the address for the resource is:<BR><A href="http://www.reconcile.org.au/getsmart/pages/sorry.php">http://www.reconcile.org.au/getsmart/pages/sorry.php</A>. The resource includes<BR>a Frequently Asked Questions document that we will be adding to over the<BR>coming weeks. If you have any suggestions of new questions worth asking<BR>please let me know. The page can be found at<BR><A href="http://www.reconcile.org.au/getsmart/pages/sorry/sorry--faq.php">http://www.reconcile.org.au/getsmart/pages/sorry/sorry--faq.php</A>.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>This e-mail is confidential.
