About the 1998 nomination
One hundred and twenty thousand coloured, larger than life-sized hands, pitched into the ground, became a widely recognised symbol of justice and reconciliation, both in Australia and overseas, over the past year. As the Sea of Hands travelled around the country, close to 200,000 Australians signed a statement to support justice and recognition of native title as well as reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
