Four Indigenous athletes are competing for Australia in the 2024 Paralympics now underway in Paris, representing the equal highest number of Indigenous athletes to feature in an Australian Paralympic Team since 1992, according to SBS.

They are: Walpiri teenager Telaya Blacksmith, who is pictured above (athletics), ( Noting our recent Telaya CTG post attracted over 6,000 ❤️ likes ) Wakawaka and Gubbi Gubbi woman Samantha Schmidt (athletics), Wiradjuri woman Ruby Storm (swimming) and Wemba Wemba and Guring-gai woman Amanda Reid (cycling).

Reid was the first Indigenous Australian to win Paralympic gold in Tokyo in 2021 and this week backed that up to win her second gold; Storm won silver in the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay S14 and Blacksmith will tomorrow (Wednesday) be the first Australian woman to contest the 400m T20 at the Paralympic Games.

They have joined the ranks of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander champions who have represented Australia at the Paralympics over past decades.

However, University of Queensland researchers Alistair Harvey, Associate Professor Gary Osmond and Professor Murray Phillips say the history of Indigenous representation at the Paralympics tells us much about the colonial history of control, racism and assimilation.

Their article, below, was first published at The Conversation under the heading ‘What a ‘forgotten’ Torres Strait Island Paralympian teaches us about representation, achievement and history’.

Alistair Harvey, Gary Osmond and Murray Phillips write:

The full significance of Harry Mosby’s silver-medal win in the men’s discus at the 1976 Paralympic Games in Canada was unrecognised for 45 years: Paralympics Australia thought he was a Western Australian.

In truth, Mosby was a Torres Strait Islander from Masig (Yorke Island), one of around 600 Islander men who worked to support his family on the Australian mainland during “railway time” from the late 1950s to the early 1970s.

Until 1965, the Queensland Torres Strait Islander Act controlled resident Islanders’ lives, including their wages and movements.

Mosby, who left the Strait in 1963 and lost both legs in a railway accident in the Pilbara in 1968, was among the first to leave.

Paralympics Australia now recognises Mosby not only as a Torres Strait Islander but also as the first, and only, Paralympian from the Strait.

Warlpiri teenager Telaya Blacksmith, the first Australian woman to contest the 400m T20 at the Paralympic Games, has broken the Australian and Oceania record, running a lap of the track in 57.96 seconds, qualifying her for tomorrow's final! 🖤💛❤️

Telaya is originally from the small remote community of Lajamanu in the Northern Territory.

“I represent my family everytime I race and know that I am an inspiration for other young Aboriginal kids.” - Telaya told Paralympics Australia.

Deadly work Telaya !! 💪🏿

*Community Notice:
Due to various circumstances around Sorry Business & other sensitive issues in our community, we have made the decision to postpone the Palm Island Spring Festival originally scheduled for Friday 6 September 2024. This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it is culturally appropriate in respect for those affected and the broader community.
The event will now be held on Friday 20th September 2024. We hope that the community and all those involved understand the reasons behind this decision and continue to support each other during this time.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

This week is Child Protection Week

Events during the week will include educational workshops, community gatherings, and awareness campaigns aimed at promoting the importance of child protection.

Families, educators, and professionals are encouraged to participate and learn more about how they can contribute to safeguarding children in our communities.

Various local councils and community groups are organising family-friendly activities to engage a sense of unity and collective responsibility.

These events are designed not only to entertain but also to educate participants on the critical signs of child abuse and neglect, and the steps they can take to report and prevent such issues.

Minister Mullen emphasised that child protection is a collective effort. "Every one of us has a role to play in creating a safe environment for children.

By coming together and supporting these initiatives, we can make a profound difference in the lives of many."
