Abstract

Quote, pages 488-489: "What other conclusion could drawn from reading these chapters? What image, what history, what legacy should the University of Melbourne present to the world? All of the chapters raise the urgency of continually delving into the records and informing the narrative of the University's past. We must not stop at acknolwedging failures and triumphs but address injustices and violations with corrective actions that engage the community. Not only must we talk, we must help to overcome the often-traumatic historical legacies and contribute to initiatives that redress the wrongs with respect and with regards to the rights of Indigenous peoples, as they are now elaborated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."
