Why teach all Australian kids about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander diggers?
Teaching Australian children about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander diggers provides a great opportunity to:
- recognise that First Nations people supported Australia in many overseas conflicts
- identify the unfairness that occurred when First Nations veterans returned from overseas conflicts
- contrast the Frontier Wars within Australia and times when First Nations people joined other Australians to fight a common enemy
- learn about the special skills of Aboriginal “Black” Trackers being utilised in defence settings.
A great addition to your collection of First Nations resources
