REGAN’S ARTICLE
WHO IS SHE? WHAT IS HER ROLE?
OFFICIAL APOLOGIES
What makes an apology genuine? (179, 180)
Problems with 1998 “Statement of Reconciliation” (181-182) 2008 apology better

POLITICAL RECOGNITION OF ABORIGINAL LAW
Using only non-Aboriginal law & processes for reconciliation is a problem (throughout the article; esp. 186-187)
• Listening (189)
• Reconciliation,
making restitution
Yet another move of assimilation…

USING ABORIGINAL PROCESSES BADLY
Having decontextualized Aboriginal dances, rituals, ceremonies in reconciliation events is a problem (183-185)

VICE & REGAN Both concerned about how those in dominant groups address their privilege in political sphere
