The Aboriginal land rights movement gained momentum in the mid-twentieth century, particularly after the Second World War, when indigenous activism began to intersect with broader civil rights struggles around the world. A key turning point was the Gurindji people’s Wave Hill walk-off in 1966. Initially framed as a protest against poor wages and working conditions on a cattle station owned by the British company Vestey’s, the walk-off evolved into a broader demand for land rights. Led by Vincent Lingiari, the Gurindji strike highlighted the deep spiritual and cultural significance of land for Aboriginal people, going beyond material or economic considerations. The movement eventually led to the handover of some land back to the Gurindji in 1975 by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in a symbolic gesture where he poured soil into __________ ________ __________ ______ ___.
