FOOTPRINTS: THE JOURNEY OF
LUCY AND PERCY
PEPPER
| |
This
special exhibition and accompanying book is a
fascinating search through public and family
records that trace the lives of one Aboriginal
family in the first half of the twentieth
century. Footprints explores the different
places the Pepper family lived along with
extraordinary details about the events of their
lives, their resilience in the face of
adversity, and the strong family connections
they fiercely protected despite government
policies that aimed to separate so called
'half-caste' Aboriginal people from their
full-blood family relations.
Featuring
information panels and a short film, Footprints
also illustrates how Aboriginal people can
retrace the steps of their ancestors through
public records, and in the case of the Stolen
Generations, reconnect with families and
communities.
