One way they have continued these traditions in recent times is through service in the Australian military, both overseas and within Australia. In Defence of Country presents a selection of life stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ex-servicemen and women who served in the Australian Army, Navy and Air Force after World War Two. In their own words, participants discuss a range of issues including why they joined up; racial discrimination; the Stolen Generations; leadership; discipline; family; war and peace; education and skills development; community advocacy; and their hopes for the future of Indigenous Australia. Individually and collectively, the life stories in this book highlight the many contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women have made, and continue to make, in defence of country. 410 0$aAboriginal History Monographs 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xWars$xVeterans 606 $aTorres Strait Islanders$xWars$xVeterans 606 $aAboriginal Australian soldiers$xHistory 606 $aTorres Strait Islander soldiers$xHistory 606 $aSoldiers$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aDefence - Armed forces - Veterans$2aiatsiss 606 $aHistory - Military$2aiatsiss 606 $aHistory - Biographies - Indigenous - Autobiographies$2aiatsiss 606 $aChild welfare - Child / parent separation - Stolen generations$2aiatsiss 606 $aDefence - Armed forces$2aiatsiss 607 $aAustralia$xArmed Forces 607 $aAustralia$xArmed Forces$xAboriginal Australians$xHistory 607 $aAustralia$xArmed Forces$xTorres Strait Islanders$xHistory 610 $aex-servicemen 610 $amilitary defence 610 $aex-servicewomen 610 $aaustralian indigenous people 610 $aVietnam 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xWars$xVeterans. 615 0$aTorres Strait Islanders$xWars$xVeterans. 615 4$aAboriginal Australian soldiers$xHistory. 615 4$aTorres Strait Islander soldiers$xHistory. 615 0$aSoldiers 615 7$aDefence - Armed forces - Veterans. 615 7$aHistory - Military. 615 7$aHistory - Biographies - Indigenous - Autobiographies. 615 7$aChild welfare - Child / parent separation - Stolen generations. 615 7$aDefence - Armed forces. 676 $a327.17 700 $aRiseman$b Noah$f1982-,$01068344 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136818303321 997 $aUNINA
