An explainer released today on the 17th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) outlines the ongoing challenges to providing safe water to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
ATSE's vision for reconciliation is that all Australians recognise and value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander custodianship as one of the oldest knowledge systems on the planet. Through respectfully working with, listening and learning from current Traditional Knowledge holders and practitioners in science and engineering we will build a better nation and a healthier, more sustainable world.
The Hon Dr Barry Jones has released a stirring call to action in support of constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) strongly supports the establishment of a constitutionally recognised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament and the Executive Government.
