To achieve reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, we must try to understand each other’s cultures and heritage. ...
Aboriginal Australian music is one of the oldest, most intriguing and most individual styles in the world. ... The importance of music in the Indigenous Australian society is a vital part in the understanding of their culture.
The Aboriginal Australian band Yothu Yindi uses music to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Yothu Yindi is the first major Aboriginal Australian band and has achieved fame all over the world. Their songs encourage reconciliation and give non-Indigenous Australians the chance to see things through the Indigenous people’s eyes. Some of the lyrics from Yothu Yindi’s hit song “Treaty” express their mission to unite all Australians:
“Now two rivers run their course
Separated for so long
I’m dreaming of a brighter day
When the rivers will be one”
Yothu Yindi uses the common medium of music to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
