7:49Now PlayingThis year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra. On 26 January 1972, four Aboriginal men, Michael Anderson, Billy Craigie, Tony Coorey and Bertie Williams (later Kevin "Bert" Johnson), arrived from Sydney, to establish an Aboriginal Embassy by planting a beach umbrella on the lawn in front of Parliament House (now Old Parliament House).
The Tent Embassy is the longest continuous protest for Indigenous land rights. in the world. Organisers said that the week of the anniversary is a chance for First Nations people to "honour and mourn our past, celebrate our survival and strategise for the next 50 years".
