EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Aboriginal people at Lake Tyers in Victoria, Australia, back in 1901. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. The photo showcases the resilience and strength of the Kurnai people who inhabited this region for centuries before conflict with white settlers led to the establishment of Lake Tyers Mission in 1863. This mission aimed to provide shelter and support for the local Indigenous community amidst a backdrop of changing times. In this snapshot from Federated Australia's archives, we see men, women, and children gathered together outside their rustic shelters. Their direct gazes convey a sense of pride and determination despite the challenges they faced during that era. The image also highlights the importance of family and community within Indigenous culture as several generations can be seen standing side by side. It serves as a poignant reminder of their deep connection to country and their ongoing struggle for recognition and justice. As we reflect on this photograph over a century later, it reminds us to honor the rich heritage and contributions made by Aboriginal Australians throughout history. It prompts us to acknowledge past injustices while striving towards reconciliation in our present-day society.
