Maralinga Tjarutja background

Maralinga Tjarutja

The Maralinga people, resilient in the face of colonization and land dispossession, demonstrate remarkable cultural fortitude in their unwavering efforts to preserve their ancestral lands.

The Maralinga people have maintained a deep connection with their land for over 60,000 years, despite being institutionalized in the Ooldea Mission in the 1920s and having their land used for the British Nuclear Test Program from 1953 to 1963.
