'2022 marks 30 years since Torres Strait Islander, Eddie Koiki Mabo, and a group of four Meriam people won in a case against the State of Queensland, for land they knew was traditionally theirs.  The fight for Mer, in the Eastern Island group of the Torres Strait, would take a decade and end up dispelling any notion that Australia was ‘terra nullius’ before British colonisation.

'Hi, I’m Eddie is a six-part series commissioned by the State Library of Queensland which introduces you to the man behind the headlines.  Host Rhianna Patrick brings you on a journey to get to know Eddie Mabo and the case to understand the legacy he left behind.'

'Growing up on mainland Australia, I’ve struggled to find places where Torres Strait Islander stories are being told. I want to respectfully advocate for Torres Strait Islanders while acknowledging whose land I live on.'
