When First Nations’ perspectives and culture are valued and respected, First Nations people are able to make the decisions that impact their lives, and exercise their rights to practise culture and care for Country.

The Wilderness Society supports all three pillars of the Uluru Statement from the heart: Voice, Treaty & Truth.

We urge all Australians to make an informed vote and engage in this pivotal moment in a way that respects and advances the rights and aspirations of First Nations people.
