Reply to comment by Shining_Silver_Star in Native title granted to South Australian Wirangu people recognises it 'always will be Aboriginal land' by DaRedGuy

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.
