The diverse cultures, beliefs and lifestyles of Australia's original peoples are explored in a dynamic exhibit which highlights many important and controversial issues.
The exhibition showcases the diversity and richness of Indigenous cultures as well as the problems faced by many Indigenous communities in Australia today. Serious issues such as deaths in custody and the Stolen Generation are discussed from an Indigenous point of view. Indigenous history is explored from before European colonisation to the present day.
The Indigenous Australians exhibition places a strong emphasis on the strength of Indigenous cultures and connections to the land. It is a tribute to the multicultural nature of Indigenous Australia.
