Draped in a possum skin cloak, Marcus Stewart, a Nira illim bulluk man and co-chair of the First People’s Assembly, last month spoke about how a treaty process could eradicate the “shadow of colonisation” that Victoria’s First Nations people continue to live with.
“Targeted, issue-specific reform may cast discrete beams of light into our lives as First Peoples, but only more profound structural change can eradicate this shadow,” he told the Victorian parliament.
