apr 1, 1967 - Indigenous Referendum 1967 On this day after 10 years of campaigning a special referendum was held in the Australian Constitution on whether or not the first nations people would be recognised. Almost 91% of people voted yes and from then on they were treated as equal citizens and counted in the population as well as having special laws just for them. This was a big step of their lives and helped them be treated better.
