30th Anniversary of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Young Gomeroi, Dunghutti, and Biripi woman Tameeka Tighe spoke with CAAMA’s Josef Jakamarra Egger about the significance of today, and how its resounding impact still affects many of her family and community members.

Tameeka Tighe is the sister of the late Tane Chatfield, who died in custody in 2017.
