The Australian state of Victoria on Thursday signed the country's first official treaty with Indigenous peoples, hailed by supporters as a historic shift towards reconciliation. The agreement grants Indigenous Australians greater oversight over decisions affecting their lives. This step is a significant recognition of the rights and role of Aboriginals in managing their own affairs and the future of their region. The treaty marks a new era in relations between the government and Indigenous peoples, aimed at overcoming historical injustices and building a shared future.
