what is the uluru statement

The Uluru Statement from the Heart is a 2017 petition to the people of Australia, written and endorsed by the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders selected as delegates to the First Nations National Constitutional Convention. It calls for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution, aiming to provide Indigenous Australians with a platform to have their voices heard in the corridors of power. The statement also recognizes the need for an entrenched constitutional voice while maintaining the long-term aspirations of Indigenous peoples for a treaty. It is an invitation from First Nations people to non-Indigenous Australians, seeking to build a better future by establishing a First Nations Voice to Parliament enshrined in the Constitution.
