Churchill Fellowship: Truth Telling, Healing and Sustainability Presentation

Truth-Telling on a Global Scale - Watch the presentation from CEO of Reconciliation WA Jody Nunn and Robyn Smith -Walley OAM about the reconciliation movement globally through their research with the Churchill Fellowship.

About: In 2023, Noongar Leader Robyn Smith-Walley OAM and CEO of Reconciliation WA Jody Nunn commenced a powerful journey exploring international models of truth telling, healing and sustainability. They travelled to New Zealand, Canada, Europe (Germany and Sweden), and South Africa to look at models and impacts of past and contemporary Truth Commissions for Indigenous peoples worldwide.

Through observing and considering the instruments and experiences of the Truth Commissions, they developed a deeper understanding of the environment where healing and justice have been achieved or missed. They met with Indigenous leaders globally and those who supported the process and continue to focus on this important work. The research will provide important context for Western Australia’s continuing truth telling work, in particular the Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) truth telling process, which is supported by the Western Australian Government.
