A DOCUMENT OF RECONCILIATION:
Two parallel studies of attitudes among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians 1999-2000

These two qualitative studies examined the attitudes of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to the Draft Document for Reconciliation prepared by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation in the lead-up to the Centenary of Federation in 2001. The first of the two studies was carried out among non-Indigenous people. The second study was carried out among Indigenous people. The second report contains a short chapter summarising points of similarity and points of difference between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in their attitudes to the concept of Reconciliation and to the Draft Document for Reconciliation. A quantitative survey was also carried out as part of this research program. This was done by Newspoll Market Research.

All three reports can be found by going to the AUSTLII website:
