Jacqui Katona is a
western-educated Aboriginal
woman who led the campaign to stop the Jabiluka
uranium mine in the Northern
Territory
. In 1998 the Mirrar Aboriginal people,
together with environmental groups, used peaceful on-site
civil disobedience to create one of the
largest blockades in
Australia's history.
Katona won the 1999 U.S.
Goldman Environmental Prize,
with
Yvonne Margarula, in
recognition of efforts to protect their country and culture against
uranium mining.
