What is the Uluru Statement from the Heart?

In May 2017, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates came together at the First Nations National Constitutional Convention near Uluru and adopted the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The Statement provides a roadmap for recognising First Nations in Australia’s Constitution, proposing structural reform on three fronts; Voice, Treaty and Truth.

It followed a two-year deliberative dialogue designed and led by 13 First Nations Regional Dialogues and was adopted by 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates. It seeks to establish a relationship between Australia’s First Nations peoples and the Australian nation based on truth, justice and self-determination to move forward towards reconciliation, without ceding sovereignty.

The statement was also referenced in our NAIDOC Week 2019 teacher resource to coincide with the 2019 NAIDOC Week theme of Voice, Treaty Truth, and there are a wealth of resources available here on SBS Learn to explore this theme more.
