Does the Voice embed race in the constitution?

Since 1901, the Commonwealth has been able to create laws based on 'race'.

The Voice acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the first inhabitants of Australia. The criterion is indigeneity, not race. In fact, the suggested change to the constitution might lessen the use of the 'race' concept. The Voice would be set up under the new provision, which recognises First Peoples, instead of under the 'races' power.
