Two years ago, Trinity College, the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology, the Gujaga Foundation, and the La Perouse Local
Aboriginal Land Council announced the permanent repatriation of the
Gweagal Spears to the La Perouse Aboriginal community.
By 2024, the spears had returned to Dharawal Country. Their homecoming is the focus
of “Mungari: Fishing, Resistance, Return”, an exhibition at the Chau Chak
Wing Museum that follows the remarkable journey of the spears. It also
tells the story of the generations of resistance that made their return
possible and celebrates the ongoing preservation of fishing traditions
still practised by the community today.
Exhibition open until June 29. Info here
