Title: Reconciliation


1
Reconciliation
In keeping with the spirit of Reconciliation, I
acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on
which we are meeting today, and acknowledge the
important role Indigenous people continue to play
within the QUT community.

Notes for use of acknowledgement to traditional
owners slide(not for publication or display)
  • Guidelines for using the Acknowledgement to
    traditional owners.
  • This acknowledgement is appropriate to the
    following activities
  • All public QUT events attended by both internal
    and external participants
  • Conferences, seminars, training, special
    lectures, graduations, ceremonies and other
    special events
  • Orientation activities, and the first lecture of
    each semester
  • The first speaker or emcee at the event should
    start the event off with this acknowledgement
  • Purpose
  • The acknowledgement to traditional owners is a
    mark of respect to the traditional owners of the
    land and sea, which is integral to the culture of
    Indigenous Australians. This recognition is an
    important part of the Reconciliation process that
    QUT has a responsibility to foster through its
    teaching, research and community activities.
  • For information on the QUT Reconciliation go to
    the QUT Manual of Policies and Procedures
    (www.qut.edu.au/admin/mopp/A/A_08_05.htmlA_08_05.

  • About the Artwork
  • QUTs Reconciliation Statement was launched in a
    special ceremony in 2001. QUT officials and
    members of Brisbane's Indigenous community were
    asked to 'sign' their commitment to the words
    contained in the statement by placing their
    handprint in paint on QUT's Reconciliation canvas
    (pictured left).
  • The symbolism of the handprint is an integral
    part of Indigenous culture especially in art, and
    in contemporary Australian society has come to
    symbolise Reconciliation the outstretching of
    the hand of reconciliation, and the well-known
    Sea of Hands.
  • The colours red, black and yellow represent
    those on the Aboriginal flag, and the green, blue
    and white, that of the Torres Strait Islands
    flag.
  • The Reconciliation canvas was created by Robert
    Cobb from the Murri School, Acacia Ridge.
