Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation

Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) is an independent, national network of mainly non-Indigenous organisations and individuals working in support of justice for Indigenous Australians.

Statement of Purpose:To generate in Australia a moral and legal recognition of and respect for the distinctive status of Indigenous Australians as First Peoples. Recognition of Indigenous Australians' rights, which include self-determination, their relationships to land and the maintenance and growth of their cultures, is essential to creating a just and fair society for all Australians.

ANTaR:

*is independent of government, it does not receive government grants
*is politically non-aligned.
*has a close and unique working relationship with Indigenous leaders
*supports Indigenous people speaking for themselves (the principle of solidarity)

There is an Indigenous Reference Group, comprising Indigenous leaders and prominent individuals from around Australia.

The "Sea of Hands" is a prominent public campaign with over 300,000 Australians having signed their signatures on a hand and helped in its installation in locations around Australia.

There are peak state and territory ANTaRs and over 200 local groups.
