Joshua Egginton and his 11-year-old son were wrapping up a whirlwind US trip after performing on one of the biggest reality TV stages in the world, America's Got Talent. "To perform at America's Got Talent with my son, represent our culture, represent our people, represent our nation in a sense, it was just absolutely magical," Flewnt said. "I think it's important that you build resilience in young people straight away and I think you've got to make them proud of who they are," he said. Echo chamber Flewnt said genuine sharing between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians would be a good first step to ending the offensive and often enduring negative stereotypes many still hold of First Nations people. "To see my people, and allies, jump in there to defend myself, to defend our culture, our right to display our flag proudly, that gives me the greatest of hope," Flewnt said.
