QUESTIONS
1. What were the Stolen Generations?
2. Why was the Mabo v. Queensland ruling important for the Aboriginal people?
In 1982, Mabo and four other Torres Strait Islander people began a legal battle to establish recognition of their traditional ownership of land on Mer Island in northern Queensland, Australia. The landmark case was won in 1992.
