Finding the Heart of the Nation

WHY WE LOVE

I love everything this book stands for and it is such an important reminder
of why we need more First Nations Australians in parliament. And more
First Nations people to be heard. It was super interesting hearing from an
array of different perspectives too. I’ve read all of Thomas Mayor’s books
and they’re incredibly enlightening - Such amazing resources that will help
further your learning about First Nations culture + history.

BLURB

Australia is set to vote on a referendum to enshrine a First Nations voice in the constitution as a result of the 2022 federal election. In this book, Thomas focuses on the stories of First Nations People, including some new voices, looking at the truth of our past and present, and hopes for a better future. Importantly, he shares with you – the Australian public – how we all have the power to make change. The campaign for Voice Treaty Truth, starting with a referendum, is an opportunity to right some of the wrongs, give First Nations People a seat at the table, and to recognise that we are a nation with over 60,000 years of continuous culture.

Completing his writing just after the 2022 federal election, Thomas has included a new introduction and conclusion, as well as a call to action for all Australians. Now in a paperback format, this collection of stories offers hope and tells us how we, as Australians, may find our collective heart.
