Noel Pearson: A Friend Among Strangers, A Stranger Among His Own?

The article analyzes the activities of one of the most famous human rights defenders in the Commonwealth of Australia, Noel Pearson, whose ideas and practical steps in the field of aboriginal politics attract the closest public attention. Coming from an Aboriginal family from Queensland, he established himself as the lawyer who successfully defended the land rights of indigenous peoples of Australia, and as the founder and head of the Cape York Institute for Politics and Leadership, where a number of reforms are being carried out in the Aboriginal communities under his care. However, his activities do not always enjoy the unanimous support of the Aboriginal community, but the Governments of the Commonwealth of Australia have been mainly on his side.
