Celebrating Survival Day

First Australians: Plenty Stories is a collaboration between the National Museum of Australia and Rigby to provide primary classrooms with a comprehensive resource to successfully implement Australian Indigenous studies. This resource has been developed to enable teachers to approach the teaching of Indigenous culture and issues with confidence. Different events mark Australia Day on 26 January each year. In 1988 Indigenous Australians and supporters gathered in Sydney to celebrate the survival of their unique cultures, and so Survival Day was born. This book invites us to a Survival Day concert to experience voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as they express their cultures and identities through music and dance.
