Reconciliation requires changes of heart and spirit, as well as social and economic change. It requires symbolic as well as practical action.
Solutions will not be found while Indigenous people are treated as victims for whom someone else must find solutions.
We are seeing healing among the stolen generations, and initiatives which are enabling Indigenous people to make their distinctive contribution to our national life.
Sorry Day falls on the eve of Reconciliation Week, giving us the chance to ask whether we are making progress in the wider challenge of reconciling Indigenous and other Australians.
