Professor Megan Davis, a proud Cobble Cobble woman, has spent her career working on constitutional reform and Indigenous issues. She is the first Indigenous Australian woman to be elected to a United Nations body when she was appointed to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and was a member of the Referendum Council that designed a series of dialogues culminating in the Uluru Statement from the Heart in 2017.

To celebrate NAIDOC Week 2021, on Tuesday 6 July, the Law Society's CEO, Sonja Stewart, sat down with Professor Davis to discuss her incredible history in the law and her fight for Indigenous People's recognition within the democratic society of Australia. This year's theme was Heal Country. To Heal Country means to embrace First Nation's cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia's national heritage ensuring the culture and values of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander People's are respected equally to all Australians' cultures and values. The right to protect Country and culture is fundamental.

We hope you can join us for this crucial conversation.
