The Aboriginal Australian Movement refers to the indigenist movement inside Australia, aiming to preserve aboriginal cultural sites, abolish racist laws and even create an aboriginal nation.
History
In 1965, partially inspired by the 'Freedom Rides' of the US Civil Rights Movement, Australian students and Aboriginal activists organised a freedom ride, touring the most racist towns in Australia and documenting conditions of racism against aboriginals. Occasionally, they were attacked by white supremacists and these events drew the attention of Australian and international media. In 1966, aboriginal farmworkers in Gurindji went on strike over mistreatment. At the end of the 1960s, there was a mass exodus of aboriginal youth from the countryside and into Sydney, particularly the neighbourhood of Redfern.
In the 1970s (partially inspired by the Black Panther Party in the US and Black Power Revolution in Trinidad and Tobago) aboriginal activists set up free medical clinics, legal aid centres, breakfast for children programs and housing co-operatives. The aboriginal movement played a prominent role of boycotting the visiting of a white South African soccer team in protest of Apartheid. The Aboriginal Tent Embassy was established in Canberra and defended from eviction.
