Local Government and Reconciliation
Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (CAR)

Before European settlement, indigenous peoples had a very localised system of government. And today local government - as the level of government closest to the people - must commit itself to serving and involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

This resource outlines ways in which local governments and communities can help work towards reconciliation in Australia. Suggested activities include flying the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flag above council buildings or inviting local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups to be involve in council celebrations.
