Sunshine Coast Reconciliation Group
Our purpose: Promote an ongoing process of reconciliation within Queensland
- Facilitating and supporting mutually respectful and engaging relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Queenslanders.
- Creating an environment for greater understanding of the unique position, diversity of cultures, languages and histories of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- Providing an improved understanding of Australian history and contemporary issues from an Indigenous Australian perspective and advocating against injustices suffered by Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- Opportunities to support the educational and training desires of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander people.
Some activities of the SCRG include:
- Annual Coastal Walk
- Shared History forums
- Schools interaction (bursaries, graduation medals, homework clubs, special events)
- NAIDOC Day at Cotton Tree participation
- Networking with Sunshine Coast community groups
- Satchels regularly sent to remote communities and Tent Embassy (clothes and other goods)
- Facilitate the transport of blankets and bulky items to remote communities.
However, concerning inclusion and equity goals:
- Where do we go from here?
- What are our future milestones?
- How do we accomplish them?

love your work.i really want my children growing up knowing the true history of Australia.I want to have Farms to start listening to the land and use the knowledge that has served the landscape well for so long but is now getting lost. i have a keen interest in bush tucker and would like to work with someone in promoting bush foods and the story that goes with them and promoting the land management techniques that have gone hand in hand with these foods for at least 65000 years. Is there anyone you could suggest to get in contact with?
