Run an information campaign to inform Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about the role of local government and how they can become council representatives. Sponsor Reconciliation Study Circles, using the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation's Study Circle kits, so people in your area can learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Find out what the High Court Decision on Native Title means - a booklet is available from Commonwealth Government bookshops. As a person involved in local government, you are in an ideal position to work for reconciliation. You have the power to improve Australia's racial harmony.
Local government recognises local and cultural differences.
