First Nations Parade Float

First Nations float leads the 2017 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
This float is created and led by First Nations people of diverse gender and sexuality, together with family, friends and supporters. Keeping with the 2017 Mardi Gras theme of 'Creating Equality', float highlights working step by step towards achieving equality in all areas, including health, education and employment, in which First Nations people are still heavily disadvantaged.

The entry is proudly supported by the Aboriginal Project at ACON, NSW’s leading HIV prevention, HIV support and LGBTI health organisation, to facilitate First Nations people’s awareness of and access to ACON’s LGBTQI health promotion work and HIV services.
