A community divided. A leader who refused to give up"--Cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 520 $a In the space of just fifteen years, Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest's Fortescue Metals Group has become a global iron-ore giant worth70 billion dollars. But in its rush to develop, FMG has damaged and destroyed ancient Aboriginal heritage and brokered patently unfair agreements with the traditional owners of the land. When FMG has met resistance, it has used hard-nosed litigation in pursuit of favourable outcomes. This strategy came unstuck when FMG encountered several hundred Yindjibarndi people and their leader, Michael Woodley, who left school in Grade Six and was from then on immersed in his traditional culture. Woodley has led his community in an epic, thirteen-year battle against FMG, all on a shoestring budget. Clear-eyed and humane, Title Fight reveals the Wild West of iron-ore mining in the Pilbara. It tells the story of how a small group of Indigenous Australians fought tenaciously to defend their spiritual connection to Country. And, at a moment of national reckoning with our colonial and ancient past, with our relationship to the land, it asks some critical questions: Who does the land belong to? Who gets to choose what it's used for? And whose side are we on? 600 10 $a Forrest, Andrew. 600 10 $a Woodley, Michael. 610 20 $a Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. 600 17 $a Forrest, Andrew. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01932976 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Land tenure $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 0 $a Mining corporations $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 0 $a Native title (Australia) $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Mines and mining $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Law and legislation $x Law and legislation $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 0 $a Iron ores $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 0 $a Iron mines and mining $z Pilbara (W.A.) $z Pilbara (W.A.) 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794530 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Mines and mining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794542 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794543 650 7 $a Iron mines and mining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979279 650 7 $a Iron ores. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979303 650 7 $a Mining corporations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01022882 650 7 $a Native title (Australia) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033935 651 7 $a Western Australia $z Pilbara. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245016 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019011927.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100332.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7AEC13BA8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
