The Rabbit Proof Fence - Blog Post #2
Recently many Australians have joined in the call for the Australian government to officially say sorry to indigenous Australians, that is, formally express both sorrow and regret, for the past treatment of Aboriginal people.
Create a post which uses information from the film, The Rabbit Proof Fence, to persuade reluctant Australians to say sorry to Aboriginal Australia. Think about the images in the film and what words (language) you will use to inform people and to encourage them to take a sympathetic view of Aboriginal experiences. Perhaps you could include some suggestions about what actions individual people could take to assist in the reconciliation process.
