in a spirit of trust by providing a chance for Indigenous Peoples around the world to voice their concerns and aspirations, as well as share their wisdom and insights. Topics include the environment, spirituality, rights and governance, culture lincluding history, education and language), colonization, de-colonization and more.
The Indigenous Australian communities practice the world's longest continuous cultural and religious tradition. going back more than 55,000 years. Like other Indigenous or First Nation Peoples across the world, they live close to the land and its waters. Their traditional knowledge and wisdom guides them in living in harmony with the environment. Across the globe, however, the lands to which Indigenous Peoples belonged were invaded; their families, communities and health were severely disrupted; and their respective cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices were undermined. Leaders of some countries and religious and spiritual communities have started a reconciliation process with the Indigenous peoples whom they have marginalized and mistreated. The Parliament offers the opportunity to continue with the reconciliation process
