Mabo Day is a special day in Australia, celebrated on June 3rd. It's named after Eddie Mabo, an Indigenous Australian man who fought for the rights of his people. Before Mabo, people thought no Indigenous Australians owned the land. Eddie Mabo went to court, and in 1992, they changed the law to recognize that Indigenous people had lived and owned the land long before anyone else arrived. This was a big change and showed respect for Indigenous cultures and history. Mabo Day honors Eddie's hard work and helps everyone remember how important it is to respect different cultures.
