Eddie Mabo and Native Title - From the Vault

Who was Eddie Mabo… and how did one man help change Australian law forever? In this special From The Vault episode for Reconciliation Week, we revisit the remarkable story of Eddie Koiki Mabo, a Torres Strait Islander man whose fight for fairness led to one of the most important legal decisions in Australian history. Discover what terra nullius really meant, why land is so deeply connected to culture and identity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and how the landmark Mabo decision changed the way Australia understands land rights. It’s a story of courage, truth, fairness… and proof that one determined person really can change history. Researched by Christie Kijurina Hosted by Christie Kijurina and Bryce Corbett
