In this BTN Special, we look at some significant events in Indigenous history, from the Freedom Ride in the 1960s that highlighted discrimination of Indigenous Australians, to the Wave Hill walkoff, that led to the return of huge amounts of land to its traditional owners. We also explore what a treaty is and why some people think it's an important thing to have.
