ABSTRACT

The idea of reconciliation means to me a process of healing, ending opposition and commencing friendly relations. Nice idea but what does it mean for Nungas?1 How can the healing not only begin, but be successful? Who needs healing and a healing of what? And who is to be reconciled? If we look to the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation2 for answers we will find they have a limited mandate: convening meetings and providing reports to the Federal government. At the end of the day we are still looking for the answers.
