RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The summaries of the numerous papers to be
presented make clear the organisation of this
symposium as a forum for presenting information
and, I hope, ideas on the resources of Tasman
Peninsula and the ways in which they have been used
and are being deployed. It is also an opportunity to
consider the future use of its diverse possibilities,
and the future development of the region. Thus there
is being brought together here a wealth of information

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
