2. The Day of Mourning was a Protest. It was held by Aboriginal Australians. Held on 26 th January 1938. The reason behind the protest was 150 years of callous treatment and the seizure of land. The organisers plan was to make it such a strong message that it would compare to Australia Day celebrations.

3. Organised by Australian Aborigines League (AAL). Held in Victoria and led by William Cooper. Held in NSW and led by Jack Pattern and the Aborigines Progressive Association. Sydney march began at Sydney Town Hall. After march, there was a congress inside, of which only 1,000 people were allowed to attend.

4. Significant because new laws on:  Care of Aboriginals  Education  Raised to full citizen status  Equality within the community These new policies and laws that were made, created one of the most significant events in Aboriginal History. Gave back part of the life that was stolen from them.

6. Government planned to re-enact the Port Jackson landings in order to celebrate. Aboriginal Political Organisations refused to take part. Due to this refusal, the government took a group of Aboriginal men from a reserve and made them run up the beach. This made it look like they were running from fear of the British. Re-enactments attracted heavy criticism from protesters.
