One day we might be able to bridge the giant cavern of hurt, betrayal and atrocities. And non indigenous Australians might be able to reconcile the land we live on. My greatest fear is how long that may take and the time spent on being a lost and disconnected people.

What do you mean by reconcile?

Non indigenous Australia needs to reconcile with itself what has been done and what steps are honest, fair and just to move forward in a manner that befits how we speak of Australia already. Mateship. A fair go. Free.
These things aren't easily obtained by many indigenous people and is much much more easily obtained by white Australia. Systemic racism is a problem but in my opinion generational wealth and wellbeing is what has been stolen. Something so many of us take for granted.

What steps do you think should be taken, in an ideal world?

That's trickier. Especially with our history of taking pretty awful measures in the past. I have opinions on the problems but solutions take smarter folk.
I do think more education on the topic is essential. The hot takes your average person has on the subject is either uninformed or negative.
