ROACH, Archie
1956-
singer and songwriter
born on 8 January 1956 at Mooroopna in Victoria
My name is Archie Roach and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because my song
Took the Children Away
won a human rights award. My lyrics draw attention to the hardship and humiliation suffered by many Indigenous Australians.
