    DescriptionThe contribution of many Indigenous Australians who have helped shape the nation has long been ignored and unacknowledged.

    Now a new project aims to tackle hundreds of years of silence by celebrating notable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and their contribution to Australian history.

    Historians are working with First Nations people to decolonise the Australian Dictionary of Biography.
