SUMMARY:1996: Death of Margaret Tucker\, Indigenous Australian activist and writer
DESCRIPTION:Margaret (Lilardia) Tucker (1904 – 1996) was one of Australia’s earliest and most notable Aboriginal activists. The Indigenous Australia website explains: \n\n\n\n“Her Aboriginal name\, Lilardia\, means flower but she was known affectionately to black and white alike as ‘Auntie Marge’. She was born at Warrangasda\, an Aboriginal reserve near Darlington Point on the Murrumbidgee River in NSW\, of a full-blood mother and part-white father\, Theresa and Bill Clements. Over the years\, Auntie Marge won the respect of people because of her refusal to be embittered by the injustices and wrongs done to her people. Her philosophy was to go on fighting to put the wrongs right. Throughout her life\, she never lost her sense of compassion and understanding for others.” Tucker\, Margaret Elizabeth\, Indigenous Australia

SUMMARY:1966: Gurindji strike or Wave Hill Walk-off\, beginning the longest strike in Australian history
DESCRIPTION:On this day in 1966 the Gurindji walked off Wave Hill Station. What began as a strike over the refusal of Vestey Brothers to pay Aboriginal workers was to become a pivotal event in the struggle for the legal recognition of Aboriginal land rights. \n\n\n\nAs the National Museum of Australia explains: \n\n\n\n“The Gurindji strike was instrumental in heightening the understanding of Indigenous land ownership in Australia and was a catalyst for the passing of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976\, the first legislation allowing for a claim of title if the Indigenous claimants could provide evidence for their traditional relationship to the land.” Wave Hill Walk-Off\, National Museum of Australia\n\n\n\nOn 16 August 1975 the deeds for part of Wave Hill Station were presented to Gurindji leader Vincent Lingiari by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.
