A unique initiative by the Queensland/Northern Territory Branch of the IEU has seen an Aboriginal message stick passed around a huge part of their region to facilitate contact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and commence a journey of reconciliation.
The message stick – a traditional form of communication – is part of the branch’s broader Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). A RAP is a living document outlining practical actions the organisation will take to build strong relationships and enhanced respect between Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians.
