Episode 2: Anne Martin AM – NAIDOC 2019: Voice. Treaty. Truth.



Yaama and welcome back to our podcast “A Cuppa and A Yarn” brought to you by the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council. Our guest this week is the inspiring Anne Martin AM, a Yuin woman who’s spent her life working for her mob. Anne was Co-Chair of the National NAIDOC Committee for 13 years, work she says is incredibly important for Australia as a nation. She shares her observations on how NAIDOC has grown, and the celebrations of survival that sustain Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Anne talks with host Michelle Aleksandrovics-Lovegrove about her work as Director of the Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre at Australian National University, and her boundless love for her large family and her home community of La Perouse.
