Material type:
TextPublication details: Australia Reconciliation Australia, UNSW April 2024Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have tirelessly advocated for truth-telling as a crucial step on Australia’s path to recognition and reconciliation.
Despite this, there is a gap in existing research about what encourages Australians to engage with truth-telling and and our shared history.
The Coming to terms with the past? Identifying barriers and enablers to truth-telling and strategies to promote historical acceptance report steps into this space, aiming to advance our understanding of:
* what is truth-telling to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians
* the key barriers to and enablers of engagement with truth-telling and First Nations histories
* the implications of these findings for progressing truth-telling in community settings.
A collaborative study between Reconciliation Australia and UNSW’s Indigenous Land and Justice Research Group School of Humanities & Languages, the research sought answers through a literature review, media survey, online surveys and in-depth interviews.
Findings include important considerations for the planning and delivery of effective truth-telling initiatives; as well as uncovering what motivates First Nations and non-Indigenous people to get involved.
