BLACK DIGGERS "To mark the eve of the centenary of the First World War, Sydney Festival
presents a work of significance, scope and monumental ambition, in a
world premiere event at Sydney Opera House. Directed by Wesley Enoch and
written by Tom Wright, Black Diggers uncovers the contribution of First
World War Aboriginal Diggers, following their exceptional stories from
their homelands to the battlefields of Gallipoli, Palestine and
Flanders. An all-male, all-Indigenous cast will evoke these heroic men,
largely unknown to history." Theatre unearths Australia's shame We need theatre where history fails: 'Black Diggers' shows Australians as the lesser Anzacs by Deborah Stone Back History - ANZAC DAY 2013 - A Public Acknowledgement Source Credit

Indigenous soldiers have been remembered in a ceremony in Canberra
and in the streets of Sydney's inner suburb of Redfern, amid calls to
better recognise Aboriginal diggers' contributions.
By
NITV News "Amongst non-Indigenous Australians, the service and sacrifice of
Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal men is very much unknown", said
Gareth O' Connell from the ATSI Veterans and Services Association at a
ceremony in Canberra. Indigenous Australia's contribution to the nation's security has been
present at every conflict from the colonial forces through to the
current operations in the Middle East. In his address to the Canberra gathering, Gary Oakley from the
Australian War Memorial called for a greater recognition of Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander contributions. "This country owes the Torres Strait Islanders a great debt. Out of
all the places in Australia, during WWII, the Torres Strait Islanders
put the most volunteers to the service. Over 95 per cent of the male
population was in uniform. That is phenomenal". |
