| Object history | The Nova Peris Collection comprises fifty-three items relating to Nova Peris's sporting and artistic career. Peris was the first Aboriginal Australian and the first person from the Northern Territory to win an Olympic gold medal. She is one of the few people to represent their country at an Olympic level in two distinct sports, and is the first and only athlete to win Olympic gold in one sport (hockey) and Commonwealth gold in another (athletics). Peris is an active campaigner for Indigenous rights and reconciliation. She was awarded the Order of Australia in 1997. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
