The Aboriginal flag is a symbol of the struggle Indigenous Australians had to endure and the right to be heard. The real history of Australia since white settlement comes from their stories. The hands represent those people, who are aware of Aboriginal history, so they join Aboriginal people towards Reconciliation. The footprints represent people going to meeting places to listen and learn: in the spirit of Reconciliation. The dove represents peace and respect.
