About this event

First published in 1970, Dee Brown’s compelling narrative changed the way people thought about the original inhabitants of America. Beginning with the Long Walk of the Navajos and ending with the massacre of Sioux at Wounded Knee, this extraordinary book tells how the American Indians lost their land, lives and liberty to white settlers pushing westward. All Friends welcome.

Where our stories come alive

The National Museum of Australia brings to life the rich and diverse stories of Australia through compelling objects, ideas and events. Our exhibitions, collections, programs and research focus on three interrelated themes; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture, Australia’s history and society since 1788, and the interaction of people with the environment. These define our conceptual framework through the themes of; land, nation, and people.
