In the sidelines of ongoing community consultations, Uncle Andrew Gardiner, Member of Victoria’s First Peoples’ Assembly and CO-Chair of the Interim “Elders Voice” outlines what might be the structure of the permanent “Elders Voice”.
Since the First Peoples’ Assembly was elected, it was determined that Elders are at the heart of a culturally strong Treaty Process. Consequently, it was determined that an Elder’s Voice had to be included in the process.
The Elder’s Voice will provide Aboriginal Elders of Victoria with opportunities to exercise their cultural authority and experience to strengthen Victoria’s progress towards Treaties by providing guidance, wisdom and cultural oversight to the work of the Assembly.
