The truth is that we are doomed, by the fact that we are
practical beings with very
limited tasks to attend to, and special ideals to look after, to be absolutely blind and insensible to the inner feelings, and to the whole inner
significance of lives that are different from our own.
The overarching concern however is that if constructed and too narrowly focused on
practical reconciliation, to the exclusion of other important factors it could be co-opted as a political tool for reinforcing and legitimizing what is ultimately a
limited approach to Indigenous issues... As a result, the framework as a stand alone mechanism has the potential to reinforce
practical reconciliation and marginalize further other issues of
significance to Indigenous peoples.
