We don’t have a time machine etc. We do have a sort of democracy, as flawed as it is. Voting ‘Yes’ can make an small but important step towards empowering the currently disenfranchised subjugated aboriginal people who didn’t deserve the colonial hand they got dealt.

A democracy created by settlers is never going to decolonize itself. The only solution is for the indigenous nations to control the entire continent and oversee the process of decolonization.
