The Indigenous Political Renaissance
by Dave Riley [Producer] Saturday January 20, 2007 at 01:26 PM

In this episode of LeftCast we speak to Indigenous activist, Sam Watson

Two years ago Mulrunji Doomagee, an aboriginal man, died in police custody on Palm Island -- an indigenous community on the Central Queensland Coast. His death has galvanized a new and strong sense of anger and protest amongst Indigenous Australians, particularly Qld Murris . On this episode of LeftCast we talk to Sam Watson -- a leading indigenous activist from Brisbane. Sam Watson discusses the new political renaissance that has arisen within the aboriginal community and talks about its present perspectives and momentum. You can review the the background to this interview by exploring the LeftCast archives. And you can keep up with ongoing events and news on this important struggle in the pages of Green Left Weekly at greenleft.org.au.
