Funded Activity Summary

Sport, stories and survival: Reframing Indigenous sport history. This project aims to work with Indigenous communities to research and reframe their sport histories. Sport helped create identity in Australian Indigenous communities during the twentieth century amidst great social and cultural upheaval, particularly in institutionalised communities such as Government settlements and religious missions. This project will work with members of these communities in Queensland and the Torres Strait Islands to reveal untold stories about the sporting past. This project expects to help build community capacity and identity, bring social and cultural benefits, and contribute to national Reconciliation goals.
