Uluru Statement from the Heart
The Uluru Statement from the Heart is an invitation to the Australian people.
Australians are being asked to accept the invitation of indigenous Australians to walk with them in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.
The authors of the Statement have called for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution and a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making and truth-telling about our history.

The Sea of Hands for Schools
For 25 years the Sea of Hands has been a symbol of solidarity with First Nations Peoples. Participants book a SoH visit for events such as National Close the Gap Day, Reconciliation Week, and NAIDOC Week.
We have compiled some worksheets that are fun to use for different year levels in the classroom. These work well alongside a Sea of Hands display at the school.
Feel free to print from our PDF attached and we hope you enjoy installing your Sea of Hands display!
