Imparja National News reports on the community of Daguragu celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 'Wave Hill Walk-Off'.
The history-making strike at the Northern Territory's Wave Hill cattle station was led by Vincent Lingiari on 23 August 1966 as a protest against work and pay conditions for Aboriginal workers.
This significant moment in Australia's history also marked the start of the Aboriginal land rights movement.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
