SA Museum's 'walking archive' helping First Nations people discover family history
3 months ago by arbilp3 to c/adelaide
Amazing work! I hope they extend the service.
Every year, hundreds of First Nations people from around the country seek out Ali Abdullah-Highfold in hopes of finding a missing piece of their family history.
"We've had Stolen Generation members come in and I've shown them photos of their mother before that they've never seen, [after] they were taken and adopted into a white family," Mr Abdullah-Highfold said.
"We've had lots of tears and laughter so it's very rewarding to be able to give them back their family history."
