<p class="MsoNormal">A civic conversation jointly hosted by the Institute for Culture and Society and the Whitlam Institute<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This seminar is offered as an opportunity for civic conversation about the ‘Uluru Statement from the Heart’: its roots, significance, and the implications of First Peoples’ assertion of their ancient sovereignty, and desire for constitutional
reform that recognises their rightful place in this country.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The First Nations Peoples in the Uluru Statement chose not to address themselves directly to the Government nor even to the Parliament but to their fellow citizens: ‘We invite you to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for
a better future’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This conversation seeks to accept that invitation in this small way.
