What is Jacqui Katona?
'''Jacqui Katona''' is an [[Aboriginal]] woman who tried to stop the [[Jabiluka]] [[uranium mine]] in the [[Northern Territory]]. In 1998 the Mirrar Aboriginal people, together with environmental groups, created one of the largest [[protest]]s in [[Australia]]'s history. Katona won the 1999 U.S. [[Goldman Environmental Prize]] because she protected her country and culture against [[uranium mining]].<ref>{{cite book| last1 = Washington| first1 = Sylvia Hood| last2 = Goodall| first2 = Heather| last3 = Rosier| first3 = Paul C.| title = Echoes from the Poisoned Well: Global Memories of Environmental Injustice| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=1NTQ6B-4YO8C| year = 2006| publisher = Lexington Books| isbn = 978-0-7391-1432-2 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/austory/series3/9826.htm The Long Journey Home]</ref><ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bigidea/stories/s1328167.htm Wisdom Interviews: Jacqui Katona]</ref> ==Related pages== * [[Uranium in the environment]] * [[Manuel Pino]] ==References== <references/> ==Other websites== * [http://www.greenleft.org.au/1997/301/15287 Yes to land rights!
