Hey mob, we’re getting ready to negotiations with the Victorian Government about the first Statewide Treaty.   We’re putting together a roadmap and a list of the topics we want to let the Government know are priorities for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Victoria.   The guiding principle underpinning all our work is that decisions about Aboriginal communities, cultures and lands, should be made by Aboriginal people.   Treaty is to make sure that Aboriginal communities can always use their knowledge to come up with practical solutions at a local level.   There's a lot to it, but it’s important that mob are across the ideas being taken into Treaty negotiations. So, grab a cuppa and check it out now. If you think something is missing, use our online suggestion box to have your say. firstpeoplesvic.org/treaty

Today is World Wombat Day! On the theme of Treaty, collective strength and wombats, can anyone tell us the collective noun for wombats?

We're a diverse mob here in Victoria, and we have many ideas and aspirations for Treaty. Our diversity is also a part of the fabric that creates our collective strength ✊🏾 Today the Assembly was on Wurundjeri Country hosting a Traditional Owner Forum - an important step for our mobs to come together to discuss ideas and help identify and shape the priorities we'll take into upcoming Treaty negotiations with the Government. These yarns are crucial in making sure that local knowledge is helping to create practical solutions. That's what Treaty is all about. From caring for land and keeping culture strong to improving the way services like health and education are delivered, we want to make sure our communities are in the driver's seat. We've been holding heaps of similar events right across the state and we've got some more coming up. Make sure you're on our mailing list or check out our events page: https://lnkd.in/gUi59UzJ
