A North-West Tasmanian Aboriginal Corporation has reaffirmed its position in support of the state's Truth-telling process.

The organisation is the latest to share its perspective on whether Truth-telling or Treaty should be pursued in Tasmania, a debate seemingly dividing Tasmania's Aboriginal communities.

The Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation (CHAC) said, via a release on Thursday, "as one of several Aboriginal communities in Tasmania, we support the Tasmanian Government's decision to prioritise Truth-telling before progressing any Treaty process — if a Treaty process is appropriate at all".

Mixed response to government agenda continues

The Tasmanian Government earlier this year announced it would be pursuing a Truth-telling and Healing Commission instead of the previously proposed Pathway to Truth-telling and Treaty.

The decision drew a mixed response from Tasmania's Aboriginal communities, with organisations including the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC), in staunch opposition to the government's change of direction.

However, CHAC said its position of pursuing Truth-telling ahead of Treaty "has long been held by our community".

"We cannot meaningfully understand how to improve outcomes for Aboriginal people in Tasmania without a comprehensive Truth-telling process, and certainly not without the involvement of all Aboriginal communities," CHAC said.

"For this reason, Tasmania cannot responsibly pursue Treaty without first hearing and understanding its truth."

Aboriginal communities at odds

Earlier this week the TAC "unanimously reaffirmed the call for a Treaty," with campaign coordinator, Nala Mansell, "we have no interest in Truth-telling".

"Tasmanian Aboriginal people have told the truth for generations," Ms Mansell said. "The truth is known. What is required now is action, and that action is Treaty."

The TAC's position was, on the same day, supported by the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania (ALCT), who, said they "endorse truth-telling only with Treaty as its outcome".

"For too long, the Tasmanian Government has acted to diminish our rights and delay the rightful progression toward Treaty," an ALCT statement read.

The ALCT said the Tasmanian Government's "attempts to narrow our position to 'truth-telling' alone are a deliberate distortion of our aspirations and responsibilities".

"This misrepresentation is not only disrespectful, but it also undermines the very principles of justice and self-determination that a Treaty is meant to uphold."

In contrasting views to that of the TAC and ALCT, CHAC said no genuine Truth-telling process has yet taken place in Tasmania, and "many voices remain unheard".

"We also emphasise that CHAC does not support current movements calling for the immediate advancement of Treaty in this state," the organisation said.

"Tasmania has always been home to multiple Aboriginal communities, each with distinct cultures, languages, and political views."

CHAC also reaffirmed its position that "no single organisation can speak for al Aboriginal people in Tasmania".

"We therefore urge the public not to be misled by recent media suggesting a unified statewide call for Treaty," CHAC said.

New Minister willing to engage

Responding to questions posed by National Indigenous Times this week, Tasmanian Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Bridget Archer, said she is "always willing to meet with Tasmanian Aboriginal people and organisations to discuss issues of importance to them".

"I look forward to hearing directly from community members around a range of issues, as we deliver on our ongoing commitment to close the gap and improve the lives of all Tasmanian Aboriginal people," Ms Archer said.

CHAC said although "one community may be advocating for Treaty; our community is advocating for Truth-telling".

"We stand with our Elders, Community members, and other Aboriginal Communities across the State who have long called for a thorough and respectful Truth-telling process," CHAC said.

"We welcome the opportunity to ensure that the stories, experiences, and histories of our people are heard, acknowledged, and honoured — whatever truths they may reveal."
