The University of Queensland's decades-long links with an Indigenous group, the Mornington Island Dancers, were strengthened when the group revisited the St Lucia campus recently.
The visit came 36 years after the dance troupe first came to campus in 1974 to perform for over 1500 schoolchildren, as well as University students and staff.
The first visit initiated the beginning of an important research and social relationship between Mornington Island and UQ, which has flourished over thirty years.
Aboriginal Environments Research Centre (AERC) PhD student Cameo Dalley, the organiser of the visit, said members of the group enjoyed a trip through the AERC archives.
