NAIDOC Week 2019
VOICE. TREATY. TRUTH. LET'S WORK TOGETHER
FOR A SHARED FUTURE.
This theme acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have always wanted an enhanced role in decision-making in Australia’s democracy.
A digitised collection of resources from AIATSIS on the Aboriginal Sovereign Treaty '88 Campaign:
The Aboriginal Sovereign Treaty '88 Campaign called for the recognition of Aboriginal Nations and Peoples' sovereign rights, and ownership of Australia, and for the Commonwealth Government of Australia to treaty with Aboriginal sovereign nations through the mechanisms of international law.
We bring all Australians together by telling stories to help us recognise where we've come from, where we are today and where we go from here.
A detailed illustrated explainer of ' what a treaty is, what it might look like and the current conversation on Indigenous treaties on a state, national and international level', from NITV.
Includes videos, discussion papers, and the final report of the Referendum Committee on constitutional recognition.
