KURANDA — More than 100 people took part in a march and festival to mark Recognition Day on May 27. The march was organised by the Kuranda Women's Group. Speakers at the festival opening included Judi Enoch, secretary of the Ngoonbi Cooperative Society, Terry O'Shane and other local Indigenous activists and elders. They highlighted the need to be conscious of Indigenous people's history of struggle and the sharp attacks on their rights and living conditions in the decade the Howard government has been in power.
