I’ve only just started trying to understand the USotH and more generally trying to understand First Nations point if view ... but my initial read of it is about self determinination ...
This in itself seems fine ... provided it is about unity and not separation.
As I type and acknowledging I have yet to do any meaningful research which may change my views ... I think the current aims are about self determination, land ownership transference, ability to raise income to fund their own programs ... ie self government... as opposed to integration, unity and reconciliation.

Why should it be about unity? The crimes perpetrated against the First Nations have been all but erased from history in Australia. If the truth were more commonly known and recognised your comment would more likely be 'it should be about justice'.
