"Upstart Aussies"-A Performance Group from Australia
Aboriginal entertainers touring the United States recently made a stop in
Grand Ronde to perform for our Elders at the Tribal Community Center. The
award winning musicians, dancers and actors took part in a 24 city national
tour. The group said they were performing in the United States in an effort to
build a cultural bridge between Australians and Americans.
The performers, in a show of respect, asked permission from the Elders before
their diverse and unique performance. The performance focused on providing a
cultural and educational platform that attempted to acquaint the audience with
the history and current status of the First Peoples of Australia.
"Upstart Aussies" attempts to educate audiences on the effects of white coloni
zation on their descendants. The performers are of Aboriginal, Torres Strait
Island, Tasmanian and European ancestry.
