Description

The City Archives have drawn together on this page records relating to Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander participation in sporting events. The kinds of records held by the archives are highlighted here, however, these are not exhaustive. You may find more items relating to First Nations sport by using the search tool, or contacting the City Archives.

If you wish to use or share an item, please check the item for:

the copyright conditions
the 'Public access note' (in the descriptive text under Access).

The views expressed in these records may not reflect the City’s views, but rather those of the period in which they were created.

The City acknowledges the Gadigal of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of this place we now call Sydney, and we acknowledge their continued connection to Country. We pay respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging.

Sovereignty was never ceded - this always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this catalogue contains images and voices of people who have died. In some Aboriginal communities, seeing the names and photographs of dead people may cause sadness and distress, particularly to relatives of those people.
