- Ghillar Michael Anderson (born 1951), or Michael Ghillar Anderson, is a Euahlayi Elder and activist from Goodooga, New South Wales, in Australia. In 1972 he was one of the four men who set up the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, as a protest in the struggle for the recognition of Indigenous land rights in Australia, eventually becoming its High Commissioner. As a participant in the Australian Aboriginal Astronomy Project, Anderson has collaborated with academic astronomers Robert Fuller and Duane Hamacher in sharing and documenting traditional star knowledge. He has been pivotal in researching the Emu in the sky astronomical interpretation, that recognises the space between the stars in the Milky Way as containing ancestral figures, the inspiration for the title of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu. Anderson was featured in a documentary film about Aboriginal Australian astronomy, which was widely shown, including in schools. Anderson has sat on a UN Committee in Geneva addressing the repatriation of cultural material. In 2013, Anderson with other leaders, proclaimed a republic in Dirranbandi, Queensland. He was elected his nation's head of state and informed Queen Elizabeth II. (en)
