1960 - Australia grants citizenship to Aboriginal people.

In 1960, Australia passed the Commonwealth Citizenship Act, granting Aboriginal people the same rights as other Australians, including the right to vote and the right to hold Australian citizenship.

This was a major victory for the Aboriginal people, who previously had no legal recognition within Australia.

Prior to this, Aboriginal people were not recognized as citizens in Australia, even though they had lived on the continent for thousands of years.

The Act was a major step forward in recognizing the rights of Aboriginal people, and it was the first time in Australian history that Aboriginal people had been granted full legal rights.

The Act was a major symbol of the changing attitudes towards Aboriginal people and their place in Australia.

This Act allowed Aboriginal people access to the same legal rights and protections as other Australians, including access to education, healthcare, and other essential services.

The Act also allowed for the transfer of Aboriginal land rights to Aboriginal people, allowing them to own and manage their own land.
