On the sixth anniversary of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the Uluru Dialogue urged all Australians to honour the Statement.
On the precipice of the referendum, Uluru Dialogue co-chairs Megan Davis and Pat Anderson and other First Nations leaders come together at Uluru on Anangu Country on Friday to mark the six year anniversary.
Co-chairs of the Uluru Youth Network Allira Davis and Bridget Cama have reflected on six years of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
Ms Davis, a Cobble Cobble woman from the Barungum and Birrigubba Nations, attended the Brisbane Dialogue and said it has been amazing to see the movement grow over the last six years.
"I was only 19 or 20 when I actually attended and just to see where it is now and the momentum we have with the campaign is just so amazing to see," she said.
"It's really significant because it gives us tangible actions and progress and reforms called for in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
"The fact that the Australian people will be asked to vote at a referendum on an Indigenous Voice later this year is just so important and significant."
Working behind the scenes at the Uluru Youth Dialogue and the Uluru Dialogue, Ms Cama, a Wiradjuri woman said it has been six years of trying to educate Australians.
"Our main goal is to inform Australians, our main goal is to make sure that when it's time to vote in the referendum, they can make an informed decision," she said.
"And it's really important for them to understand the difference that this reform will actually make.
"It's about addressing disadvantage and beginning to close the gap that exists for us."
For Cama and Davis, the last six years have been working up to this moment where Australians have a chance to vote in a referendum.
While there have been many pivotal moments, Ms Davis said one which stands out to her is the moment the Prime Minister committed to the Uluru Statement.
"A pinnacle moment for this campaign was hearing now Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in his first few lines in his first speech say I commit to the Uluru Statement in full," she said.
"And I think that's really emotional, and powerful, because no prime minister has done that before. The fact that our leader is going full throttle with it, is just really, it's really speechless for us to even think about.
"Now the hard work begins, we've already worked hard over the last six years, but these next five or six months are very crucial."
Cama and Davis said they hope to see in another six years time the Uluru Statement committed in full and tangible chance for First Nations communities all across Australia.
