some amazing and remarkable people
Yes, Vincent Lingiari was married. He was married to a woman named Doris Lingiari, and together they had several children. Lingiari was a prominent Aboriginal rights activist in Australia, known for his leadership in the Gurindji people's struggle for land rights. His activism played a significant role in the broader movement for Aboriginal land rights in Australia.
Yes, less than 40 years ago Australian Aboriginals were not recognized as being part of the general public of Australia. They were not allowed to own land and any currency they earned was administered on their behalf by whites. As a result of his leadership and campaign for Gurindji land, Vincent Lingiari has become a national iconic figure representing, more broadly, the struggle of Aboriginal people to have their rights to traditional lands recognised and for those lands to be returned. http://indigenousrights.net.au/person.asp?pID=970
Vincent Lingiari was driven to stand up for human rights largely due to his deep connection to the land and the injustices faced by Indigenous Australians. As a member of the Gurindji people, he sought recognition of their rights to traditional lands, which were taken from them for pastoral use. His leadership in the Wave Hill walk-off in 1966 symbolized a broader struggle for Indigenous rights and social justice, inspiring future movements for equality and land rights in Australia. Lingiari's activism was fueled by a desire for dignity, respect, and self-determination for his people.
In 1967 a referendum was held which was successful on the right of lands, and also the tent embassy was a step of land rights. The Wave Hill walkoff where Vincent Lingiari staged the Aboriginal cattlemens strike was a significant build up to the referendum as well.
