Federal Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy says she is "very interested" in the findings and recommendations of the inquest into the 2019 police killing of Kumanjayi Walker, to be brought down Monday.

Speaking with ABC Radio National, the minister said "this is a journey that the people of Yuendumu and Central Australia, in particular, have waited quite some time for".

"They've been through many other traumas since that time, and I know that today will be particularly important, especially for the Elders of the Yuendumu community," she said.

Asked if the federal government is prepared to act on the findings and recommendations when they're delivered by Northern Territory coroner Elisabeth Armitage, Senator McCarthy said she "will certainly be very keen to read the coroner's report".

"I know that the coroner has been very diligent in working through this case for so many years, investigating it, listening to people from all areas, not just the Yuendumu community. And I will be very interested to read it, to look at the recommendations and to take seriously what she considers," she said, and alluded to working with the NT government on the issues identified.

"My job is to continually try to reach out to all governments, to all political leaders. This has to be above politics, and I'll continue to do that with the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory and her ministers. This is too important. It is not about the Chief Minister or myself. It is about the families of Yuendumu who need the leadership of this country to act on the concerns that they raise."

Mr Walker, who was 19 at the time of his death, was shot three times by NT Police officer Zachary Rolfe. The investigation into his death revealed multiple examples of racism in the police force.

NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro has accused federal Labor MPs of having "little respect for police", and claimed Senator McCarthy's call for an independent investigation into the death in police custody of Kumanjayi White in May this year as "uneducated" and "unhelpful".

On Monday morning Senator McCarthy said: "I will be seeking a meeting with the Chief Minister at some point in the future" on justice issues, including an independent inquiry into the death of Mr White.
