At Federation, Aboriginal Australians weren't considered to be real citizens. It was a time when many people thought dark skinned people weren't as good as white people so they weren't included in the census and they weren't invited to be part of the official federation ceremony. This program looks at Aboriginal displacement from their land, their often forced relocation to reservations and the separation of children from their families. In 1962 indigenous Australians received the right to vote and in 1967, they were officially recognised as Australian citizens when they were included in the census. This program explores this movement for change.
