Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 3033898, member: 8290"] To be fair, no I'm not. But I could've sworn that he was. I found this recent article which sort of implies that he's Indigenous, but doesn't actually say it, I can't really find anything regarding his heritage apart from the fact that he has a German grandfather.

Charlotte Robinson, a Year 6 student from Moreton Bay College, recently wrote a letter to Seibold inviting he and any indigenous Broncos players to visit the Manly West school and talk to her and her fellow students about how their indigenous heritage influenced them. “My name is Charlotte and I’m currently a Year 6 student at Moreton Bay College in the Bayside of Brisbane,” Charlotte said in the letter. “My leadership role for 2019 within the primary college is the Cultural Leader and my focus is Indigenous affairs. This is because prior to my commencement at Moreton Bay College in Year 5 2018, I was selected to participate in the Solid Pathways program which is for Indigenous students. “After much consideration from Solid Pathways and persistence from my parents, Solid Pathways allowed me to continue as the only private school student on the program. “Through the program I have increased my knowledge on my Indigenous heritage and culture. I would like to invite any Brisbane Broncos players who have an Indigenous heritage to come and talk to the students about how their Indigenous heritage has influenced the person they have become today.” Well Seibold and Broncos legend Justin Hodges answered the call and gave a special talk to students at Moreton Bay College on April 24. And Charlotte said it was special to get a response to her letter and that she learned a lot from their visit. “It’s good for people to learn about their culture and the culture of others, so they know and then respect other people,” she said. “They took their heritage very seriously and were very proud of their indigenous background. They also said you shouldn’t be afraid to find out about your heritage even if it’s disappeared over time. “Both were very open and confident in sharing the importance of their culture.” Charlotte said she believed and hoped that sharing cultural backgrounds could help bring people together. “I learned that is okay if people have a different background. Sometimes people are not even aware that others have a different cultural background because you can’t always tell by the way people look,” she said. “Many people share common cultural backgrounds and don’t even realise it. It can bring people together.” Source: [URL]https://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/southeast/brisbane-broncos-coach-anthony-seibold-answers-call-to-help-young-student-bring-people-together/news-story/450862fc2fbe10da936b1331e9550d80[/URL] [/QUOTE]
