Baird , Norman

from State Library of Queensland

  Norman Baird once wrote that he was prepared to advocate for the Kuku Yalanji people as long as there was 'a spark left within'. As a young man Norman fought to defend the rights of Australians in World War 1 only to come home and fight for his own freedom and that of his children. As an old man and almost blind, Norman recorded an ancient language and preserved part of a unique Australian culture. Norman's mother was an indigenous Australian and his father was native to Scotland. He learnt skills from both cultures: reading and writing, mining and hunting, English and Kuku Yananji - skills that served him from the jungles of Far North Queensland to the battlefields of Europe. Norman's story provides an opportunity to glimpse the history of Far North Queensland - a shared history, and one that needs to be told so that common ground can be found to strenghten and unite Australian communities. "Norman Baird : a spark within", written by Kathleen Denigan ; narration: Caden Pearson

  Wujal Wujal's first generation of Indigenous recruits in 100 years have marched in the small far north Queensland Aboriginal community's first Anzac Day parade. The last time someone from Wujal Wujal served in the Defence Force was when brothers Norman and Charlie Baird fought in France and Egypt during World War I, at a time when Indigenous servicemen and women did not receive the recognition and entitlements they deserved. This year's Anzac Day commemorations honoured the two men, with members of the Baird family carrying their photographs as they led the march through the town, north of the Daintree.
