AITSL joins Reconciliation Australia in mourning the passing of Professor Peter Buckskin, whose lifelong contribution helped shape a more inclusive and culturally responsive education system in Australia. Professor Buckskin’s advocacy, leadership and deep commitment to improving outcomes for First Nations children and young people leaves a lasting legacy across education. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Reconciliation Australia mourns the passing of Professor Peter Buckskin, a proud Narungga man from the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.

For over 40 years Professor Buckskin’s passion was the pursuit of educational excellence for Aboriginal peoples.

He contributed to significant changes within the education landscape, working tirelessly alongside First Nations education champions to ensure that First Nations peoples, histories, cultures and perspectives were embedded in Australia’s education system.

A strong supporter of the reconciliation movement, Professor Buckskin advised on – and formally launched – Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Education program in 2015.

He was a founding judge and patron of the Narragunnawali Awards.

He also served for many years as Co-Chair of Reconciliation South Australia.

Reconciliation Australia CEO, Karen Mundine said his impact on Reconciliation Australia’s work in the education sector is immeasurable.
