The Wave Hill Walk Off - or the Gurindji strike was in August 1966.
And the Bark Petition - also known as the Yirrkala Bark Petitions are historic Australian documents that were the first traditional documents prepared by Indigenous Australians that were recognised by the Australian Parliament, and are thus the first documentary recognition of Indigenous people in Australian law.
Trust me you won't need to know intensive detail about these developments of Indigenous identity, so don't stress too much about them.

Wave Hill was a protest by the Gurindgi people who went on strike for better pay and conditions in 1966. It was also a reaction to the decision to not award equal pay for equal work to aborigines.
It was the first major step that eventually lead to the Land Rights Act

The Bark Petition was the first one that again that got national attention in 1963 and again it was an early step in the fight for recognition of Land Rights.
