The supers 

Two superheroes within our community; a father that bears the traditional fabrics and ornaments of Australia’s first inhabitants. One that challenges colonial tropes and sits proudly, upholding the culture and attitudes of his forebears. Alongside him stands his young daughter, a visibly different superhero, but one with a just as relevant role. She proudly claims fundamental elements of her culture whilst speaking fearlessly in the language of her peers.
