| Summary |
*Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following program may contain images and voices of people who have passed away*Message Stick presents a new series of studio chat programs called Talking Stick. In this series, presenter Miriam Corowa speaks to Indigenous and non-Indigenous insiders to discuss six topics of interest to all Australians.From the vexed subjects of Aboriginal health, education and justice, to national and international success in sport and music and the impact of climate change on communities across the country, Talking Stick provides a candid assessment of the state of the Indigenous nation.In episode three, Sport, Miriam and her guests discuss Indigenous Australia's sports stars. Sporting accomplishments in Australia and overseas have helped put Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders on the map. Cathy Freeman's extraordinary Gold Medal in Sydney, Evonne Goolagong-Cawley's Wimbledon win and a legion of football stars, from all codes, who shine every week are just a few examples.Three remarkable Australians who have each achieved at the highest level in their respective sports join Miriam to talk about how they are inspiring many more to follow in their footsteps. Marcia Ella-Duncan is a former Australian netballer who received the Order of Australia in 1988 and is a member of the remarkable Ella clan; Danny Morseu is a two-time Australian basketball Olympian; and Bo De la Cruz is one of the world's best touch footballers.How does this sporting success impact on attitudes towards Indigenous Australians? And what does it mean for young Indigenous Australians to have sporting role models?PRODUCTION DETAILS:An ABC TV Production |
