Before the famous 1966 Wave Hill walk-off, Aboriginal pastoral workers in Western Australia's Pilbara region staged one of Australia's longest strikes. Beginning on May 1, 1946, hundreds of workers from stations like Moolyella and Nullagine downed tools under the leadership of Clancy McKenna and Don McLeod. The strike lasted over two years, enduring arrests, ration blockades, and violent reprisals. This episode explores how a diverse coalition of Aboriginal peoples—including Nyamal, Baanya, and others—united across tribal lines, drawing on cultural strength to demand better wages and working conditions. We discuss the role of the Aboriginal Pastoral Workers Union, the harsh conditions on stations, and the strike's legacy in shaping later land rights movements. Lucas and Luna also touch on the broader context of Australian frontier history and the resilience of Indigenous communities in the face of systemic injustice. #PilbaraStrike #ClancyMcKenna #DonMcLeod #AboriginalHistory #AustralianHistory #IndigenousRights #1946 #WesternAustralia #PastoralWorkers #Nyamal #Baanya #Guruma #Nyiyaparli #AboriginalPastoralWorkersUnion #FrontierHistory #Oceania #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
