Letter to the editor Sept 11 2020 Returning the Petroglyph

I FOR one can't wait for the petroglyphs to be returned to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, it is well overdue and a positive step by all involved in the reconciliation process; acknowledging past wrongs and now rectifying these with reflection and compassion.
My community will treasure the return of these sacred stones and we will make our own decisions about what will happen to them at our own time.
After all, we should have the say in what happens to them now as we had no say when they were cut from our cultural fabric all those years ago.
Be assured, without a doubt we will care for them as they should be cared for and make all relevant decisions about the petroglyphs with as much love and with all the respect they have always deserved.

Tessa Atto, Ravenswood.
