| Australia is the only Commonwealth country that does not have a Treaty with its First Nations Peoples. Colonisation, assimilation, and ongoing attacks on self-determination, culture, languages, and lands creates urgency in calls for treaties from First Nations Peoples. This year’s lecture will raise these issues from the perspective of legal justice.
This will be the third digital forum in the 2020 series by the National Treaties Summit and its partners, while we wait for the opportunity to hold a physical gathering, hopefully in 2021.
David Hunter was one of the founding members of ANTaR, and an enormously supportive and inspiring activist on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues. In October 2000 he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and he died in December 2003. This will be the 17th annual memorial lecture held in memory of David’s contributions to reconciliation and Indigenous rights.
Hope you can make it,
Paul and the ANTaR team. |
