Albert Namatjira was not the first Aboriginal Australian to be granted citizenship, but he was one of the first to gain significant recognition as an artist and a public figure. In 1957, he was granted citizenship under the Commonwealth Citizenship Act, which allowed him to vote and enjoy certain rights. However, it is important to note that many Aboriginal Australians did not receive full citizenship rights until later reforms in the 1960s.
