Australian Indigenous Resistance

Australian Indigenous Resistance refers to the ongoing efforts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to oppose colonization, defend their land, culture, and rights. Historically, Indigenous communities resisted European settlement through acts of rebellion, preservation of traditions, and legal challenges. Today, resistance continues through activism, policy advocacy, and cultural revitalization to address injustices, recognize sovereignty, and achieve social justice. It is a vital expression of Indigenous agency, resilience, and connection to land, highlighting their ongoing fight to preserve identity, sovereignty, and self-determination within Australian society.
