Aboriginal Australians were not mentioned in the original 1901 Constitution of Australia due to prevailing attitudes of the time, which marginalized Indigenous peoples and excluded them from the political and legal framework of the nation. The Constitution reflected colonial perspectives that did not recognize Aboriginal rights or sovereignty. It wasn't until the 1967 referendum that Australians voted to amend the Constitution, allowing the federal government to make laws for Aboriginal people and including them in the national census. Despite this, full recognition and reconciliation continue to be ongoing issues in Australia.
