The forgotten ANZACs: Honouring Australia’s Indigenous soldiers | Paint it Blak with Emma Garlett

WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised this episode contains names and images of people who have died.
In this episode of Paint it Blak, Emma honours our ANZACs, the men and women who have fought and died in World War One for a country that - at that point - hadn’t even considered them as part of Australia’s population. Subscribe | thewe.st/Paint...
She look into ways we can acknowledge the Indigenous men and women who fought for Australia, and who, for one brief moment on the battlefields were considered equal, only for it to be taken away again when or if they came home.
And she’ll analyse Indigenous service looks like now in Australia, and how, on this ANZAC Day, we can once again see all veterans as equal.
