- Description
- In this global twenty-first century world Aboriginal men and women are among some of the highest paid sportsmen and women in Australia. This dramatic shift in acceptance overcame decades of exclusion not just from the sporting arena but wider Australian society in general. This article examines the complexities of the Australian Aboriginal sporting experience including long entrenched racist barriers that denied Aboriginal participation on the sporting field.
