NGURRAWAANA COMMUNITY GET BEHIND TREATY

If you were at the Yule River meeting last year you would have heard about the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Tracey Heimberger is a passionate photographer who resides in the Pilbara and she remembers Pilbara elders supporting the idea.

"All of the Pilbara elders agreed unanimously to support a treaty that spoke for people in parliament, she said."

"We have white people making decisions for indigenous people. We want white people to listen to us. We want the white people to have an indigenous person in parliament to listen to."

Last year, Indigenous elders, academics, delegates and activists, invited non-indigenous leaders to listen to their proposal of moving forward on constitutional recognition for Aboriginal people.

There was talk of an advisory body to sit alongside the government to be consulted on legislation affecting Traditional Owners.

The Turnball Government rejected the Uluru Statment from the Heart in 2017 and aboriginal people across the nation are challenging that decision.

What will Scott Morrison do?
