Obstacle Race: Aborigines in Sport. Of the 1200 people named in this book, perhaps only six were raised with access to equipment, training, travel and competition. The rest were either brought up in remote settlements where sport was abhorred or ingored, or taken from their parents and raised in ‘assimilation’ homes. Men were often exploited as gladiators and entertainers, while women still receive less in the way of encouragement, facilities and access than any other sector of the Australian community.
