Tent Embassy protest

The Tent Embassy protest is a symbolic political demonstration by Indigenous Australians, primarily in Canberra, advocating for Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and recognition. Established in 1972 as a response to government policies perceived as neglectful or oppressive, protesters set up tents on Parliament grounds to draw attention to issues like land rights and social justice. The embassy represents a non-violent assertion of Indigenous sovereignty and continues to serve as a rallying point for activism and awareness regarding Indigenous issues in Australia.
