the non-binding declaration, which sets out global human rights standards for indigenous populations, was easily approved Thursday by the UN General Assembly in New York — with only Canada, New Zealand, the United States and Australia dissenting. Eleven countries abstained.
Article 26 of the UN declaration states: Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.
McNee said the provision is overly broad, unclear and capable of a wide variety of interpretations that could lead to the reopening of previously settled land claims and existing treaties.

This is certainly obvious in the United States, where people still feel the need to carry guns because they live with the collective fear of slave and Indian uprisings of the past.

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh
Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

A simple “I’m sorry” by John Howard would have made a tremendous difference to the self esteem of a race of human beings.

Money can buy a doctor but not health.
Money can buy blood but not life.
Money can buy sex but not love...

Interesting position, SiSl. Stolen generation, genocide, deprivation of territory, denial of civil rights... all this is "right"?
Written by: Stone
Nothing to apologise for SilentSide? How about destroying a civilization and turning them into a race of “lazy drunken slobs”. Not to mention the genocide and the pox.

I also take it Lurch that while you are not prepared to give compensation for the wrongs of long dead ancestors, you do think it is right to compensated people who are directly effected by these crimes against humanity. Therefore, you would have no objection to compensating the Iraqi people for the injustice metered out to them by the US and other governments.

Admitting we have done something wrong, and we have – that’s unarguable - would create a the space for healing so we can all move on. Otherwise we keep repeating the same mistakes, and become willing participants in other atrocities like the invasion of Iraq. In the end, all you argument is really saying is that you are more worried by the though of paying compensation, than that of the survival of a race of human beings.

Even here on HOP people are still trying to sweep the problem under the carpet and blame the Aboriginies for all the problems that the whitefella has caused.
Written by: Stone
Personally, I’m disgusted with comments that go along the lines of white people don’t want to help a race that doesn’t want to be helped or Aborigionals are self destructive or you have a race responsible for many problems it seen its hard to feel sympathy.
Written by: Stone
Isn’t it about time we grew up and accepted responsibility for the destruction of Aboriginal culture, which has led to current situation. To me this is more about recognition and acknowledgement than money. A simple “I’m sorry” by John Howard would have made a tremendous difference to the self esteem of a race of human beings. Instead he sent in the army. Nothings changed in 200 years

natasqi, I think you will find that things like “primary healthcare, education, mental health facilities, basic infrastructure, focused scholarship schemes etc”, have all been tried in the past, and have not worked. They have not worked because Australians (all who have migrated here) still fail to see Aboriginal’s as fellow human beings. In many respects, it’s still us verse them; as is evident from many of the Australian comments expressed in this thread.
