Always was, always will be

The fight for First Nations land rights has shaped modern Australia. This collection brings together pivotal moments – the 1966 Wave Hill Walk-off led by Vincent Lingiari, Yothu Yindi’s anthem Treaty, Eddie Mabo’s landmark case overturning terra nullius. Songs, films and photographs in the NFSA collection chart progress while reminding us of the struggles that continue today. These stories show how courage changed the nation.

WARNING: this collection contains names, images or voices of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
