Indigenous Australians at war from the Boer War to the present
Shrine of Remembrance travelling exhibition

Indigenous Australians have served Australia in all major conflicts from the Boer War to the present. The armed services would provide a first experience of equal opportunity, although sadly not an enduring one. In this exhibition the Shrine celebrates the courage, tenacity and resourcefulness of Indigenous Australians in the armed forces. The exhibition uncovers the individual and family stories of service and sacrifice of the First Australians.

Throughout the two year tour of regional Victoria, commencing late 2011, local Indigenous people will be encouraged to share their personal histories with the wider community.
