Treaty - yesterday, today, tomorrow: 2021 Proud Partnerships in Place: First Peoples Public Admin

Honourable Justice Sir Joe Williams KNZM leads a session on Treaty at the Proud Partnerships in Place: 2021 ANZSOG First Peoples Public Administration Virtual Conference held online in February 2021.

The conference unpacked and celebrated the successes we are already seeing across Australia, Aotearoa-New Zealand and internationally. It challenged participants to think beyond the way things have always operated, to consider how First Peoples knowledge, local community decision-making and new relationships with government and the public purpose sector can be mobilised to meet the needs of communities.
Governments and First Peoples are working together on a range of treaty, well-being budget initiatives, voice, recognition, land management, health and social service issues that all require authentic partnerships, to solve local and global challenges. This work constitutes a resetting of relationships and will determine a new course for how First Peoples and government agencies work together into the future. The conference provided an opportunity to examine how local knowledge can address global challenges in the face of increasingly constrained resources, threats to the environment and the disproportionate impact of these events on First Peoples communities.
