Episode 127: 250 Years Since James Cook


Listen Later

After developing his navigational skills on the West Coast of "Newfoundland," James Cook arrived on the east coast of Australia in 1770. The 250th anniversary of that date gives special significance to this year's Invasion Day, the term Indigenous people give the government-recognized 'Australia Day'—the country's national holiday. But it's a day that, for many Indigenous Australians, marks the beginning of the violence and oppression they continue to face today. Our guest this week is pastor and Indigenous rights activist Ray Minniecon, speaking with us from Australia.
