The Sea of Hands was created by ANTaR in 1997. Today, about 300 000 people have joined this solidarity movement, and 120 000 hands have been created.
This artistic event was created to put on an equal footing all the people who live in Australia... But only 300 000 citizens out of the 19 500 000 inhabitants of Australia have signed this petition.
Australia was conquered by The English in 1788. It all began with the discovery of Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip.
After that, English people took command on the island.
English people have cultivated and populated this land and they forgot the Natives’ rights on Australian ground. English conquerants tries to abolish aboriginal people by the wash of their blood, with mariage between aboriginals and english people.
However in 1974, The Sea of hands told Australian people that this was not their native country, and that the natives had been forgotten by the settlers.
So I think it's very important to remember that english australian people are strangers on the island and that they have ruin native australian's lifes. The ANTaR movement help aboriginal pepole to make a new life by get a real job and to be respected.
