Submission – Jumbunna Research Indigenous Nation Building and Governance Research Hub

This submission is from researchers from the Indigenous Nation Building and Governance research hub (INBG) within the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & Research at the University of Technology Sydney.

“Our aim in this submission is to present a framework through which to understand the systemic nature of injustices faced by First Peoples, which we argue are caused by the nature of relations imposed on First Peoples by the settler state. Our submission outlines why the injustices in these specific areas can only be understood systematically – that is, as structural, pervasive and causally interlinked – when they are viewed in the light of the fundamental logic of settler-colonial governance that denies First Peoples’ sovereign rights to collective self-determination.”
