Eddie Mabo was a Torres Strait Islander who fought for the recognition of land rights for Indigenous Australians, particularly in relation to his people's traditional connection to land. His activism was driven by a desire to rectify historical injustices and ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples had legal recognition of their land ownership. Mabo's efforts culminated in the landmark 1992 High Court decision that overturned the legal doctrine of terra nullius, affirming that Indigenous peoples had rights to their land prior to British colonization. This victory inspired broader movements for Indigenous rights and land claims across Australia.
