Lynda-June Coe is a proud Wiradjuri and Torres Strait Islander woman, activist, academic and PhD candidate (Macquarie University) from Erambie, Cowra NSW.

She hails from a strong family and kinship system of warriors on both her maternal and paternal bloodlines.  Lynda-June’s grandparents Les and Agnes were Wiradyuri trailblazers, and her father, aunties and uncles are renowned activists who have contributed to the defence of Indigenous land, people, place and futures.

Lynda-June is a passionate advocate for justice, self-determination and revitalising Indigenous governance as practice, having initiated and co-created the Wiradjuri Buyaa (Law) Council in 2018. Spanning over two decades, she has also co-organised national campaigns such as Black Lives Matter, ‘Water is Life’ Climate Action, Stop Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, Stop the forced removal of Aboriginal children and condemning institutionalised systemic racism on all fronts in the settler-colonial project known as Australia.

She believes that Indigenous liberation is embodied by the concept of Indigenous sovereignty and is (re)affirmed by an operationalised and defiant Wiradjuri nation-led resurgence.
