Category Resistance – 2018
Jeffrey Lee has put the protection of his country and his culture before personal profit. For years he rejected the offers of the Areva nuclear company to mine uranium in Koongarra. It is the traditional land of the Djok, over which he has clan chief control. Instead, he offered Koongarra to the Australian state, which integrated the land into the Kakadu National Park.
