Virtual slaves in their own land, the Nyamal and other peoples of the Pilbara worked long hard hours for meagre rations, were not paid, could not leave and were subject to the abuse and exploitation of the white pastoralists, government agents and legislators. But Coppin, and a few other strong thoughtful leaders like him dreamed of a life here they were treated equitably. 20 years before the famous Gurindji strike at Wave Hill, Coppin and hundreds of other Aboriginal people from the pilbara led the first strike of Aboriginal workers in 1946. Enduring great hardship, physical danger, violence and threats they stood firm, and their bravery and determination finally forced changes that helped initiate the restoration and recognition of the basic human rights of their people.
