VICTORIA, 1881: the men and women of the ‘Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve’ take on the Board for the Protection of Aborigines in a fight for justice, dignity and self-determination.
For the first time, we bring back to life Coranderrk’s voices – both black and white – through a re-enactment of their official testimonies before the 1881 Government Inquiry into Coranderrk.
