Uncle Eddie Mabo honoured with a star
In recognition of Mabo Day (3 June), the Sydney Observatory will name a star from the Sydney Southern Star Catalogue in honour of Uncle Eddie ‘Koiki’ Mabo.
Director of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS), Rose Hiscock, said: ‘The stars have great significance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and it is fitting that we honour Uncle Eddie through the dedication of a star in our most iconic constellation, the Southern Cross.’
