"Often people think about the Aboriginal Tent Embassy as something historic,
dating back to the 1970s. But it should also be thought of as a site of the
longest protest for Indigenous land rights, sovereignty and self-determination
in the world.
In fact, this year, the Tent Embassy is set to celebrate its 50th continuous
year of occupation. Demonstrating its significance to Australian history, it
was included on the Commonwealth Heritage List in 2015 as part of the Old
Parliament House precinct.
In this momentous year, it’s worth remembering how the Tent Embassy came to be
and what it has continued to stand for since its erection in 1972 – and the
significance it still has today."
