Article 31 in UNDRIP states that Aboriginal people have the right to their own culture, traditional practices, language, Country etc. This right had been withheld from Aboriginal people for over a century. This was highlighted in The Rabbit Proof Fence where the right to choose where they lived, who they married and where they worked was denied. Many Aboriginal people were forced to assimilate and were denied the right to practice their culture. Many were forced to live on missions, for example the Colebrook Mission, where language was forbidden and Aboriginal were told that they were white. UNDRIP changes this. Eloise and Harriet

UNDRIP allows Indigenous Peoples to own, use and develop traditional land which is important morally (reconciliation for history of discrimination such as 'terra-nullius`) but also because it allows them to use this land for cultural purposes, protect their land (traditional land management practices such as fire stick farming) and maintain spiritual relationship with the land. Further, Indigenous people's right to Spiritual Relationships and culture ownership/identity also assists in protecting their rich culture.

As well as land rights, UNDRIP also provides Indigenous Peoples with the same rights as non-indigenous peoples. This means a right to safety, education and other basic human rights previously ignored. These rights not only protect but ensure past negative experiences will not reoccur for example the right to self-determination which means issues like the Stolen Generations can never happen again.

UNDRIP was a significant development in the lives of Indigenous Australians since their rights were recognised after decades of struggle.  An example includes the Mabo case and the Bark Petitions. Actions performed against them were acknowledged. Previously, they were not even seen as humans. UNDRIP acknowledged them and the land could now be recognised as theirs and be returned to their rightful owners. The Aboriginal peoples have equal access to facilities. (Jueun Kim, Jessica Lam)

UNDRIP was significant as it set out that governments should respect the human rights of Indigenous peoples. It also allowed them to protect their culture and heritage. It was an important guide for the proper implementation of other human rights agreements or conventions that regarded and affected Indigenous peoples. UNDRIP was also an important step forward for the recognition, promotion and protection of the rights and freedoms on Indigenous peoples. For example the 'Mabo Case' which recognised Indigenous peoples' rights to the recognition of their land and overturned the legal friction of 'terra nullius'.

UNDRIP was a significant development in the lives of Indigenous Australians because it gave them basic humans rights that they did not have for many years. They were granted the right to decide what is best for them and their communities and gave them land rights, which was a massive problem during the 1960s-1990s. For example the Eddie Mabo case. Eddie Mabo was an indigenous Australian who owned land in Queensland before the British people came over and declared it Terra Nulluis and took it for their own.

UNDRIP set out how governments should respect human rights, thus giving Indigenous people rights that they should've had. UNDRIP allowed Indigenous people basic human rights, including life, liberty, culture and security. An example of the right they were given would be shown in Article 13 - right to know and use language, histories and oral traditions. In the movie "The Rabbit-proof Fence", the Indigenous children at Moore River were not allowed to speak their native language. Article 11 of UNDRIP would give them the right to using their Indigenous and language.

UNDRIP was important to indigenous Aboriginal people as it helped them feel connected with their traditions, which were stolen from them during European settlement. For example the "Mabo Case" which was the case in which Indigenous people wanted be recognised as owners of their land.
Another example is the stolen generation, where Aboriginal children were taken from their family and given to european families. This was to completely abolish all Aboriginal culture and tradition. This is why UNDRIP was such an important Declaration for Aboriginal Australians, as it let them feel connected to their culture and traditions once again.

UNDRIP was significant because it freed Aboriginal people to let them have their own rights and freedom. It is a recognition to the Indigenous poeples. For example, the native title, recognising Aboriginal land ownership.

UNDRIP is a significant change for aboriginal people. This is a declaration on how Indigenous people should be treated. Aboriginal people should have same rights as other Australians. For example, the policy of assimilation represented that merging aboriginal people with white society. It means aboriginal people did not have rights to keep their own cultural. So, UNDRIP can help them get their rights and freedom back.

UNDRIP is substantially significant in the lives of the Indigenous peoples (of Australia), the right to maintain and strengthen their political, legal, economic, social and cultural foundations, while continuing to hold onto their rights to participate fully (if they choose to) in the political, economic, social and cultural life of today

UNDRIP was significant as it is a formal document outlining the treatment of Indigenous Australians. It gave them the right to practice the policy of Self Determination and be recognised as distinct peoples, as well as to be free from discrimination and have the right to cultural identity, finally recognising the rights of Indigenous Australians on an international scale. An example of this was the Mabo Case, which saw the recognition of Aboriginal land rights and overturned the idea of "terra nullius"

# data[].attributes.body
It was significant as it is a formal document which outlines the Indigenous people the rights to practise their culture and free Aboriginal to their own rights and freedoms. It helped give Indigenous people to strengthen their economic, social and cultural aspects of their life. For example it has meant the land in the Eddie Mabo case is no longer seen as Terra Nullius but instead seen as legally owned land by the Aboriginal people and this recognition is vital.

Aboriginal Australians already had limited and unequal rights compared to Non-Aboriginal Australians so by implementing and accepting UNDRIP Aboriginal peoples were given rights that they never had before. By accepting UNDRIP it also in turn acknowledged the fact that Aboriginal people had less rights. Eloise and Harriet
