Thomas Mayor

Thomas Mayor is a Torres Strait Islander man born on Larrakia country in Darwin. Following the Uluru Convention, Thomas was entrusted to carry the sacred canvas of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. He then embarked on an eighteen-month journey around the country to garner support for a constitutionally enshrined First Nations voice, and a Makarrata Commission for truth-telling and agreement-making or treaties. His first book in 2019 was "Finding The Heart of The Nation". Thomas’s journey continues, both in person and through the pages of this book and his second book for young Australians - "Finding Our Heart". He has two books that will be released in August 2021. A childrens book about the Gurindji Wave Hill Walk Off. And a book about fatherhood from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’s perspective.
