Outback Mourning: Indigenous Lives Matter, Conditions Don't The funeral of Kumanjayi Little Baby, a five year old Australian Indigenous girl whose death in April sparked violent riots and protests, has shed light on the dire living conditions faced by thousands of indigenous people in Alice Springs.
Her passing is a stark reminder that despite progress made, much work remains to be done to address the systemic inequalities faced by indigenous Australians.
The makeshift camp communities on the outskirts of Alice Springs are plagued by overcrowding, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare.
